Laravel Application Testing

Functional testing for laravel 5.7+, perhaps even 5.4+, like "interacting with your application" in laravel 5.3 (copied from it). It can be simpler to use than laravel browser tests, faster to run, and you can use DatabaseTransactions trait on your tests.

How to use

composer require --dev grray/laravel-application-testing

Put into phpunit.xml (in your project root directory) in section <php>

<env name="APP_URL" value="http://localhost"/>

and then put into tests/Feature/HomePageTest.php

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use LaravelApplicationTesting\InteractsWithPages;
use Tests\TestCase;

class HomePageTest extends TestCase
{
    use InteractsWithPages;

    public function testBasicExample()
    {
        $this->visit('/')
             ->click('About Us')
             ->seePageIs('/about-us');
    }    
}
