I have this testing method:

public function testCanResetPassword()
{
    $this->call('POST', '/password/reset', [
        'email'  => 'test@case.com',
        '_token' => csrf_token(),
    ])->assertStatus(200);

    $token = DB::table('password_resets')->where('email', 'test@case.com')->first()->token;

    $response = $this->call('POST', '/password/generate', [
        'token'  => $token,
        '_token' => csrf_token(),
    ])->assertStatus(200);

    $password = $response->content();

    $this->assertTrue(Auth::check());
    $this->assertTrue(Hash::check($password, User::where('email', 'test@case.com')->first()->password));
}

Which fails at the last 2 lines, because the reset password isn't stored in my generate method:

public function generatePassword(Request $request)
{
    try {
        $user = $this->getUserFromToken($request->input('token'));
    }
    catch (\Exception $e) {
        return response('Token not found', 400);
    }

    $password = str_random(8);

    $user->password = Hash::make($password);
    $user->save();

    $this->authenticate($user->email, $password);

    return $password;
}

Everything seem to work when it's in non-testing environment. $this->authenticate doesn't authenticate either as $password is not really stored.

I must be missing some details here? As far as I know the password should be saved until the end of the testing method?
