Anyone else think that #laravel needs something better for Acceptance Testing? Dusk seems a bit underpowered and Cypress gets quite complicated. It feels like to me we need something like PestPHP but for Acceptance Testing

Yeah there does seem to be a big push with AI on there. I've just started a German language course so seeing how it goes!

Bit of a Dark Pattern I spotted today in Duolingo!

Duolingo doesn't tell you the price of its premium subscriptions until you finish the trial period, it doesn't even advertise its prices on the web.

Very strange and not something I've ever seen an app do

GitHub - laracasts/cypress: Laravel Cypress Integration Laravel Cypress Integration. Contribute to laracasts/cypress development by creating an account on GitHub.

I find Dusk is quite bloated and becomes quite difficult to use in CI environments. As for Cypress, you get a nice UI that pops up and seems a lot faster and easier to deal with (for CI as well). I use this package to integrate Cypress with Laravel:

Tried both but prefer Cypress, feels faster and easier to write tests

Turns your exceptions from this image, into showing the full HTML response✨

Quick Tip:

Laravel's HTTP client truncates thrown exceptions by default which can make it difficult to debug issues with the HTTP client requests.

✨Add this to your AppServiceProvider to get the full exception:

RequestException::dontTruncate();

#laravel #php
