Right way to test lifecycle method

So I am a bit confused on the right way to test when using a lifecycle hook. In the example below, have an action that gets fired when the $rating is updated. How do I test that it’s doing the right thing?

    • set(‘foo’, ‘bar’) - this will just set the value but doesn’t trigger any of the hooks
  • ->call(‘foo’); - gives me a “DirectlyCallingLifecycleHooksNotAllowedException: Unable to call lifecycle method”

I’m probably missing something very simple but can’t figure out the right approach.

class TestComponent extends Component
{
public $rating;

public function updateRating($value)
{
    //do something
}

public function render()
{
    return view('test-component');
}

}

I’m needing to know this too, bummer there are no responses to your question. Did you ever work it out?
