FormRequests that use Auth::user().

@shalvah Thanks for the input; apologies for the ghosting. We had our baby shortly after I posted this so I've been away from work for a while. I'll give this a shot! 🍻

It appears this is happening because the FormRequest is processed before an actual API call is made; therefore using a Middleware to create a fake user and force authentication won't work.

When extracting body parameters (which is where the error occurs), the FormRequest's rules() method is being processed directly, no API calls made. In your particular scenario, changing your code to Auth::id() should fix that null exception, I believe.

For the broader scenario of dynamically authenticating for response calls when there's no database (like in CI): Right now, Scribe doesn't have an easy way of supporting your workflow yet, but there may be something in the works. I'd recommend using a custom strategy: extend the ResponseCalls strategy and add code in there that properly authenticates Scribe. See this example.

Hey @ellisio did you try the suggestion?

@shalvah Seems to work for me

Thanks @gazben . Closing this now.
