How to import a custom content type in phpunit

I'm trying to write some PHPUnit Kernel tests that use a custom content type which seem to work until I try to reference fields on the content type. I'm guessing the content type isn't being imported from config. Is there a correct way to do this?

Example code which works in drush php but does not work in phpunit:

  public function createAction() {
    $storage = $this->container->get('entity_type.manager')->getStorage('node');
    $entity = $storage->create(['type' => 'action']);
    $entity->set('title', 'test');
    $entity->set('field_lookup_type', 'address');
    $entity->save();
    return $entity;
  }

The error from phpunit is "InvalidArgumentException: Field field_lookup_type is unknown."

That wont do it. You either need to create a test module that has YAML configs to do this, or script in the changes in the test setup method. The latter method is longer, but frees you from having to maintain copies of YAML configs in an additional module(s). Here is an example.

  public function setUp() {
    parent::setUp();
    $this->entityTypeManager = $this->container->get('entity_type.manager');

    $this->installEntitySchema('node');
    $this->installEntitySchema('user');
    $this->installEntitySchema('taxonomy_term');
    $this->installSchema('node', 'node_access');
    $this->installConfig('node');
    $this->installConfig('taxonomy');
    $this->installConfig('filter');

    $this->createContentType(['type' => 'my_content_type']);

    FieldStorageConfig::create([
      'field_name' => 'field_lookup_type',
      'entity_type' => 'node',
      'type' => 'entity_reference',
      'cardinality' => 1,
      'locked' => FALSE,
      'indexes' => [],
      'settings' => [
        'handler' => 'default:taxonomy_term',
        'handler_settings' => [
          'target_bundles' => [],
          'sort' => [
            'field' => 'name',
            'direction' => 'asc',
          ],
          'auto_create' => false,
          'auto_create_bundle' => '',
        ],
      ]
    ])->save();

    FieldConfig::create([
      'field_name' => 'field_lookup_type',
      'entity_type' => 'node',
      'label' => 'My Field',
      'bundle' => 'my_content_type',
      'description' => '',
      'required' => FALSE,
      'settings' => [],
    ])->save();

This creates a node type, creates a taxonomy field, and sets the taxonomy field to that node type. This is the equivalent of loading several YAML files.

Then, either in setup or a test itself, you can:

 $node = $this->createNode(['type' => 'my_content_type', 'field_lookup_type' => 1]);

The traits to do this need to be included in your test class:

  use NodeCreationTrait,
    ContentTypeCreationTrait,

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
