We said Lumen because it will be integrated with our code as we are writing functional level tests not acceptance tests. So, our testing framework should have insight and interaction with Lumen. What else will we need in our configuration? We need to set the testing .env file. So, with that here is what our configuration file looks like:

class_name: ApiTestermodules:    enabled:        - REST:            url: /api/v1            depends: Lumen        - \Helper\Api    config:        - Lumen:            environment_file: .env.testing
