Hi Povilas. I try to use this. But it doesn't work. I am put SetUp function to parrent class but SetUp run enyway for each test..

Maybe you name it differently? It should be setUp() not SetUp() Just guessing, it's hard to debug for you remotely what you did wrong.

Thanks for reply.

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
 {
     use CreatesApplication; 
     /**
      * Indicates whether the default seeder should run before each test.
      *
      * @var bool
@@      */
     protected $seed = true;
     protected function setUp(): void
     {
         parent::setUp();
         echo 'run SetUp';
         // TODO: Change the autogenerated stub
			}
 }

This is my base class. I am put correct setUp(). And I see "run SetUp" each test.

I found another way how use same user in my tests. stackoverflow.com

Summary:

setUp();  // It's executed once by each test case
setUpBeforeClass();  // It's executed once by the test class

Hello, excellent tip, but how do I do it if I want to use the same function in several Test Classes, but not in all of them?

I guess then you need to use/call that function specifically in the classes where you need it.
