Selenium and Laravel 5.2 - laravel

Question

I'm getting sad,
I use Laravel 5.2 and I am developping my unit tests.
In Laravel 5.1, you could use the great Integrated lib to use selenium, but it doesn't seem to work in Laravel 5.2
So basically, Is there any kind of integration between L5.2 and Selenium, or is it imposible to use it nicely?
In this case, I should definitively have stayed in L5.1 as testing is a fundamental part of my app :(

Answer 1

You need to install PHPUnit_selenium package using composer
composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit-selenium
Create Selenium Test Case class inside laravel/tests/
<?php
class SeleniumTestCase extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase
{
/**
* The base URL to use while testing the application.
*
* #var string
*/
protected function setUp()
{
$this->setBrowser('firefox');
$this->setBrowserUrl('http://localhost:8000/');
}
protected function visit($path)
{
$this->url($path);
return $this;
}
protected function see($text, $tag = 'body')
{
print_r(request()->session()->all());
//method call by tag name;
$this->assertContains($text,$this->byTag($tag)->text());
return $this;
}
protected function pressByName($text){
$this->byName($text)->click();
return $this;
}
protected function pressByTag(){
$this->byTag('button')->click();
return $this;
}
protected function type($value, $name)
{
$this->byName($name)->value($value);
return $this;
}
protected function hold($seconds){
sleep($seconds);
return $this;
}
}
and Create new test case for visiting home page url
<?php
class ExampleTest extends SeleniumTestCase
{
/**
* A basic functional test example.
*
* #return void
*/
public function testTitle()
{
$this->visit('/')
->see('Site title','title');
}
}
and Run command PHPunit test from terminal
java -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar
