PHP - Moved: Zend Framework And Phpunit Usage

Hi y'all. First off, posting this here to hopefully avoid the noise that's happening in the Applications sub-forums, so mods please feel free to move if it's too inappropriate here.

Anyway, I'm currently doing a skills assessment for a potential new job in Laravel - if I wasn't using Laravel I would've been done hours ago, but one of the requirements is Laravel. Honestly, for the most part I dig it - it's pretty simple, despite it's reliance on magic. Anyway, I've written a couple API routes and when I visit them in the browser everything works exactly as expected and desired. However, when I run the pre-built test file, I get a Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException for /var/www/html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Routing/RouteCollection.php.

The route as defined in api.php:

use App\Http\Controllers\User;

/**
 * I tried using a Resource Collection here - there's obviously something about those
 * that I'm missing, because it actively refused to do anything worthwhile. I'd pass in
 * UserModel::with('timelogs')->get() like I use in \App\Http\Controllers\User::getTotalSeconds(),
 * and it didn't care. Just printed out absolute garbage, no matter what I fed to it.
 */
Route::get('/user-timelogs', function(Request $request) {
    $u = new User;
    return $u->getTotalSeconds();
});

And the controller code:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User as UserModel;

class User extends Controller
    public function getTotalSeconds()
    {
        $users = UserModel::with('timelogs')->get();
        $ret = [];
        foreach($users as $user){
            array_push($ret, [
                'user_id' => $user->id,
                'seconds_logged' => $this->calculateTime($user->timelogs)
            ]);
        };
        return json_encode($ret);
    }

    private function calculateTime($logs)
    {
        $totalTime = 0;
        foreach($logs as $log){
            $totalTime += $log->seconds_logged;
        }
        return $totalTime;
    }
}

The model file for good measu

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password', 'id',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    public function timelogs()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Timelog');
    }
}

Again, when I visit localhost/api/user-timelogs, the user IDs and correct total of seconds is right there. It's just in the test file that it's an issue. Anybody have any ideas?
