I have the following code:
$this->actingAs(factory('App\User')->create());
$thread = factory('App\Thread')->make();
what is the difference between create() and make() and why is it not listed in the helper functions page in the Laravel documentation? Thank you! :)
create persists to the database while make just creates a new instance of the model.
The
createmethod not only creates the model instances but also saves them to the database using Eloquent's save method

如果你想看到make和create之间的源代码差异，你可以在src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/FactoryBuilder.php页中看到它们
