Right way to return a value from one test case to other one

[deniscsz]

I have a kind of "crud tests" and in my first test case I'm testing the 'create' endpoint and it works.

My second test case is testing the PUT endpoint to update the data of this same entity, so I'm setting the ID with $this->myId in first test case to reuse it in the second one.

it('can create a collect', function () {
    $response = $this->post(`... omitted `);
    $response->assertOk();
    expect($response->json('data.id'))->toBeInt();
    $this->collectId = $response->json('data.id');
});

it('can update a collect', function () {
   $collectId = $this->collectId;

The error:
Undefined property: P\Tests\Feature\Http\Controllers\Internal\Logistics\ReverseCollectControllerTest::$collectId

I found this explain about use return to share data to next test case in phpunit's classes but when I uses the value returned in the closure params, it conflicts with with feature.

How could I pass the entity_id from the first test case to the second test case?
