Laravel: disableExceptionHandling and enableExceptionHandling make no effect

[dakipro]

What are you trying to achieve?

I want to grammatically disable and enable Laravel exception handling, like described in the docs here
https://codeception.com/docs/modules/Laravel5#disableExceptionHandling

What do you get instead?

no difference whether I use it or no

Provide console output if related. Use -vvv mode for more details.

# paste output here

Provide test source code if related

// Default api test with simple test that calls API resource 
    public function exception_test(ApiTester $I)
    {
        $I->disableExceptionHandling();  
        $I->sendGET('items/-25');
        $I->seeResponseCodeIs(202);
    }

// Controller 

    public function show($id)
    {
        return new Item::findOrFail($id);
    }
/*
In list of executed steps it says that 
I disable exception handling
I send get "items/-25" 
I see response code is 202 <-- in red, as test fails here 


Result in the console is the same with both disableExceptionHandling and enableExceptionHandling 
So neither of these commands throw/handle exception. 

Expected HTTP Status Code: 202 (Accepted). Actual Status Code: 404 (Not Found)
Failed asserting that 404 matches expected 202.
Expected :202
Actual   :404


If I throw exception manually in the render() method of the HAndler class, I then get
No query results for model [App\Models\Item\Item] -25
....  (full stack trace bellow)

related to this enhancement #2763

And after more then 6 hours of googling and checking the code I found solution that works fine in my case, implemented outside of codeception package (as a custom method)
https://gist.github.com/adamwathan/c9752f61102dc056d157
As it says on the paged

Update 2016-11-09:

At some point since I originally shared this snippet and the accompanying screencast, Laravel started binding App\Exceptions\Handler under the Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler interface instead of the concrete class, so I've updated the files below to account for that.

I see that codeception already implements the correct Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler so I am not sure what the case is (or if I am using it wrong) but at least there is a workaround...

[DavertMik]

I use enableExceptionHandling in my Laravel tests for checking page with errors:

        $I->enableExceptionHandling();
        $I->sendPOST('/api/tests', ['bad_data' => []]);
        $I->seeResponseCodeIs('400');

So in most general case it works. Not sure what is specific for your case and I'm not Laravel expect to do any assumptions :(

[dakipro]

Thanks for checking. I am also not laravel expert, but is exception handling disabled for you by default?
It looks like it is enabled for me
