Test case not executing, Call to a member function filter() on a non-object

I am writing PHP Laravel 5 unit test to check my form submission is happening properly. Below is my form. (Form attach an image file too)

<form action="upload_question123" method="post" id="story_upload_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-horizontal">

                                @if(isset($edit_Q_Status))
                                    <div id="great" class="form-group">
                                    <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-2"></div>

                                    <div class=" col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-5 alert alert-success alert-block">
                                        <a class="close" data-dismiss="alert" href="#">×</a>
                                        <h4 class="alert-heading">Success!</h4>
                                        {{ $edit_Q_Status }}
                                    </div>                                      
                                    </div>
                                @endif

                            <div class="form-group">

                                </div>

                            </div>


                            <div  class="form-group">
                                <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-2"></div>
                                <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-2"></div>

                                <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-2"></div>
                                <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-2">
                                    <a href="#" 
                                    onclick="javascript:submitOfQuestion();"
                                    data-toggle="dropdown"
                                    class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"><i
                                    class="fa fa-upload icon-white"></i> Upload </a>

                                </div>
                            </div>
                    </div>
</form>

And I wrote the below test method.

/** @test */
public function testUploadQuestion(){


    $this->select('Computer', 'subject')
        ->select('7 - 10', 'ageCategory')
        ->type('Test Case Test Question 1', 'question')
        ->attach('C:\xampp\htdocs\IntelliKid\public\test_resources\Capture2.JPG', 'file[]')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 1', 'ans1')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 2', 'ans2')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 3', 'ans3')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 4', 'ans4')
        ->press('Upload')
        ->see('Success!');

}

But I get the following error and I have no idea where it is going wrong.

PHPUnit 4.8.21 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
