Description

Has anyone got a example of a test using these repositories. I'm struggling to swap the model instance for testing purposes as the model name is hardcoded in the model() method.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the repository's model() method and implement a way to override it in tests, such as using Laravel's mock or creating a test specific repository subclass.
