PHP Unit, Testing laravel log messages with unit testing

I'm using PHP Unit to create a Unit test for a store function that stores data in a database.

Currently, i have a test verifies that it has stored data.

However, I also want to create a test that proves that a laravel log message has been produced if the model save function fails.

The code below shows the store function. The "log::info" is the line I want to test.

Thanks.

public function store(Venue $venue)
    { 
     $saved =  $venue->save();
        if($saved == false)
        {
            Log::info('Failed to Save Venue'. $venue);
        }
    }

This what I have so far, i pass an empty model that will cause the save to fail due to database constraints

   public function test_venue_store_failed()
    {
        $venue = new Venue();
        $venueRepo = new VenueRepository();
        $this->withExceptionHandling();
        $venueRepo->store($venue);
    }
