Is there any way to retrieve factory instance in scope of the test

[vopolonc]

Is there a way to retrieve the factory instance (or faked data) in the test scope? It would be handy to use it for assertions and to compare responses:

it('can update addons', function () {
    $this->patch($this->endpointOrder($this->order->id))
        ->assertOk()
        ->assertJsonFragment(['addons' => $this->fakeFactory->data['addons']);
})
    ->fakeRequest(UpdateRequestFactory::class)
    ->addons();

Maybe I'm missing something, let me know

I usually use UpdateRequestFactory::create() and assign that to a variable that I pass into patch() instead of using fakeRequest(). Then you have it available for assertions. It would be nice if there was some way to access it while using fake() or fakeRequest() though.

For now, I'm doing the exact same thing and trying to figure out a more convenient way
