Generating a new Laravel Dusk Test

In this tutorial we will go over on how you can generate a new Laravel Dusk test for the browser automation testing. Before diving in make sure you have Installed the Laravel Dusk package.

To generate a new dusk test use the artisan command dusk:make. The test generated will be placed in tests/Browser directory

php artisan dusk:make newDuskTest

If you want to put your new test in a new directory under Browser, this is useful when you are organizing tests as per different sections of your web application.

php artisan dusk:make admin/LoginTest

This test will be placed under admin directory inside tests/Browser

<?php

namespace Tests\Browser;

use Tests\DuskTestCase;
use Laravel\Dusk\Browser;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;

class newDuskTest extends DuskTestCase
{
    /**
     * A Dusk test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testExample()
    {
        $this->browse(function (Browser $browser) {
            $browser->visit('/')
                    ->assertSee('Laravel');
        });
    }
}

The new dusk test extends the DuskTestCase, and contains an example test method named testExample

You can remove the testExample class and start writing you new dusk method.
