MissingAttributeException is not thrown on unit tests

Description

I made the models strict in my AppServiceProvider, when I try to access a missing attribute, a MissingAttributeException is thrown, but on a unit test, it's not (I am using Pest btw).

I also made the models strict on the testing function but the exception is still not thrown.

Steps To Reproduce

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

@hbakouane, This likely happens because your PHPUnit tests aren't using the same configuration settings as your production or development environments.
In phpUnit

protected function setUp(): void
{
    parent::setUp();  
    Model::shouldBeStrict();
}

In Pest

beforeEach(function () {    
    Model::shouldBeStrict();
});

@hbakouane Exception thrown only if model "exists" in table, check how your create model in createCompany() function. One way to set exists property is to use newInstance method (second argument).

return (new Model)->newInstance(['attribute' => 1], true);

Also quote from docs

Tests within your "Unit" test directory do not boot your Laravel application and therefore are unable to access your application's database or other framework services.

So in unit tests you need to do Model::shouldBeStrict(), but in feature tests application boots as normal, and you will have your strict settings from service providers
