Some issue with Unit Testing on CI Gitlab - unit-testing

Question

Goodday,
I have an issue with running my code through CI. When I run my code locally the test is fine.
So I have a Role Model (no pun intended)
and in my test i assign the role to a newly created test user.
// Assigning Role
$role = Role::where('name','administrator')->first();
$user->assignRole($role);
The assign Role is added through my User Model
/**
* Assigns Role to the User
*
* #param Role $role
*/
public function assignRole(Role $role)
{
$this->roles()->save($role);
}
When I run the Test locally it works like it was intended.
PASS Tests\Feature\UserTest
✓ user login
✓ users list allowed
✓ users list not allowed
✓ user creation
✓ user delete
Tests: 6 passed
Time: 7.05s
But when i am running it in my CI env. I get the following error message:
✓ basic test
FAIL Tests\Feature\UserTest
✓ user login
✓ users list allowed
✓ users list not allowed
⨯ user creation
✓ user delete
---
• Tests\Feature\UserTest > user creation

What am i missing here?

Answer 1

I have mad an whoopsie on my database seeding, i created the seeder but did not add it to the database. That's why it could not find the role.
