Laravel actingAs guest

Question

Laravel provides a way to authenticate a given user during HTTP testing with

$this->actingAs($user);

Is there a way to unauthenticate that $user within the same test?

Answer 1

Yes, you can unauthenticate using this:

Auth::logout();

Warning: above does far more than just forgetting (acting as if the login did not happen), for example, when using JWT above should invalidate token.
