Request URI empty in Feature Test?

I am using the package Laravel Localization.

The package loads the prefix in the routes file

Route::group(['prefix' => LaravelLocalization::setLocale()], function(){
    Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
    // ..
});

If one accesses mydomain.net/de/article, through the browser then LaravelLocalization::setLocale() returns de and thus the route exists.

However, when I do a simple feature test like this:

$response = $this->get('/de/article');
$response->assertStatus(200);

Then the route is not found:

Expected status code 200 but received 404. Failed asserting that false is true.

I already noticed that the method LaravelLocalization::setLocale() determines the locale on this line

$locale = $this->request->segment(1);

And it seems that on the feature test $this->request->segment(1); is null. In fact, if I dump $this->request then it returns

 "REQUEST_METHOD" => "GET"
 "REQUEST_URI" => "/"

as parameters (when calling with phpunit).

The request is saved in the __construct method of the singleton LaravelLocalization like this:

$this->app = app();
$this->request = $this->app['request'];

Why is the request uri empty when I call it with phpunit? How may I get the correct request_uri?
