Core Patterns

Basic Test

<?php
namespace Tests\Browser;

use Laravel\Dusk\Browser;
use Tests\DuskTestCase;

class LoginTest extends DuskTestCase
{
    public function testLoginWithValidCredentials(): void
    {
        $this->browse(function (Browser $browser) {
            $browser->visit('/login')
                ->type('email', '[email protected]')
                ->type('password', 'password123')
                ->press('Login')
                ->assertPathIs('/dashboard')
                ->assertSee('Welcome');
        });
    }

    public function testLoginWithInvalidCredentials(): void
    {
        $this->browse(function (Browser $browser) {
            $browser->visit('/login')
                ->type('email', '[email protected]')
                ->type('password', 'wrong')
                ->press('Login')
                ->assertPathIs('/login')
                ->assertSee('Invalid credentials');
        });
    }
}

Browser Methods

// Navigation
$browser->visit('/path');
$browser->back();
$browser->forward();
$browser->refresh();

// Forms
$browser->type('name', 'value');
$browser->clear('name');
$browser->select('select', 'option');
$browser->check('checkbox');
$browser->uncheck('checkbox');
$browser->radio('radio', 'value');
$browser->attach('file', '/path/to/file');
$browser->press('Button Text');
$browser->click('.selector');

// Assertions
$browser->assertSee('text');
$browser->assertDontSee('text');
$browser->assertPathIs('/expected');
$browser->assertUrlIs('http://full-url');
$browser->assertInputValue('name', 'value');
$browser->assertChecked('checkbox');
$browser->assertVisible('.element');
$browser->assertMissing('.element');
$browser->assertTitle('Page Title');
$browser->assertPresent('.selector');

// Waiting
$browser->waitFor('.element');
$browser->waitFor('.element', 10); // 10 seconds
$browser->waitUntilMissing('.loading');
$browser->waitForText('Loaded');
$browser->waitForLink('Click Me');
$browser->pause(1000); // milliseconds

Page Objects

<?php
namespace Tests\Browser\Pages;

use Laravel\Dusk\Page;

class LoginPage extends Page
{
    public function url(): string { return '/login'; }

    public function assert(Browser $browser): void
    {
        $browser->assertPathIs($this->url());
    }

    public function login(Browser $browser, string $email, string $password): void
    {
        $browser->type('email', $email)
            ->type('password', $password)
            ->press('Login');
    }
}

// Usage
$browser->visit(new LoginPage)
    ->login($browser, '[email protected]', 'password123');

Cloud: Override DuskTestCase::driver() to return RemoteWebDriver with LT caps

Setup: composer require --dev laravel/dusk && php artisan dusk:install

Cloud Execution on TestMu AI

Set .env variables: LT_USERNAME, LT_ACCESS_KEY

// tests/DuskTestCase.php
protected function driver()
{
    $options = (new ChromeOptions)->addArguments(['--disable-gpu', '--no-sandbox']);
    $ltOptions = [
        'user' => env('LT_USERNAME'),
        'accessKey' => env('LT_ACCESS_KEY'),
        'build' => 'Laravel Dusk Build',
        'name' => $this->getName(),
        'platformName' => 'Windows 11',
        'video' => true,
        'console' => true,
    ];
    $options->setExperimentalOption('LT:Options', $ltOptions);
    return RemoteWebDriver::create(
        'https://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub', $options
    );
}

Run: php artisan dusk or php artisan dusk tests/Browser/LoginTest.php
