<p>When using a method that requires a session in a unit test of a laravel based application, I encountered the following crash:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
RuntimeException: Session store not set on request.

</pre>
<p>I tried to solve it with the code given in <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/9632">https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/9632</a></p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$this->app['request']->setSession($this->app['session']->driver('array'));
</pre>
<p>but now I got another exception:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
TypeError:
Argument 1 passed to Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::setSession()
must be an instance of
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\SessionInterface,
instance of Illuminate\Session\Store given
</pre>
<p>I do not know why the Illuminate Session Store does not implement Symfony's SessionInterface in Laravel 5.5. Looks like a bug to me.</p>
<p>My solution was to force the session into the request at the beginning of my test:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
$req = $this->app['request'];
$sessionProp = new \ReflectionProperty($req, 'session');
$sessionProp->setAccessible(true);
$sessionProp->setValue($req, $this->app['session']->driver('array'));
</pre>
