title: Calling named routes in laravel tests
body: <p>consider the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;
  use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;
  use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
  
  class HomeRouteTest extends TestCase
  {
      public function testVisitTheHomePage()
      {
          $response = $this-&gt;call('GET', '/');
          $this-&gt;assertEquals(200, $response-&gt;status());
  
      }
  
      public function testVisitTheAboutPage()
      {
          $response = $this-&gt;call('GET', '/about');
          $this-&gt;assertEquals(200, $response-&gt;status());
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there away, not that I have seen documented >.>, to do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$response = $this-&gt;call('GET', 'home.about');
  $this-&gt;assertEquals(200, $response-&gt;status());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or .... Is that how you do it?</p>
  
  <p>The error I get is:</p>
