Browser Tests with Laravel Dusk in Gitlab CI/CD Pipelines.

This is a complete test suite for running tests (Unit, Feature, Browser) on your Laravel installation.

It uses Laravel Dusk for browser tests via a Docker executor runner in GitLab.

With this package, you don't need to worry, about Chrome or chromedriver compatibility. This is done automatically, to make your Browser Testing with Laravel Dusk, as easy, as possible.

Versions:

Deprecated versions:

Gitlab? Find more on gitlab

Gitlab Continous Integration CI ? Find more on gitlab-runner

You may be wondering why deprecated versions are still available. The main reason is to allow for browser testing of your older Laravel applications while you're transitioning to newer versions.

This plug-and-play package is designed for your CI testing environment in GitLab.

All you need to do is select the appropriate version of your PHP interpreter (based on your Laravel version), and you should be ready to go.

Colours indicate the current state of PHP's life cycle and supported versions. Please note that all published images are fully functional and entirely usable for testing purposes.

2018-07-24 - mysql 8.0 and mysql:latest are now supported, but you need to make some modifications to your .gitlab-ci.yml. Unfortunately for now you cannot simply run mysql in services, as it was before.

Simple workaround, is to change in services: (everywhere you call mysql service) to:

services:
     - name: mysql:latest
       command: ["--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password"]

You need to make sure your Laravel config/database.php has these modes array also:

'mysql' => [
            ...
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'modes'       => [
                'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY',
                'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES',
                'NO_ZERO_IN_DATE',
                'NO_ZERO_DATE',
                'ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO',
                'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION',
            ],
        ],
