## Project status

This project is **archived**.

`laravel-dusk-ci` was created to solve a real problem at the time:
running Laravel Dusk browser tests reliably in CI environments
without dealing with Chrome / ChromeDriver compatibility issues.

For several years, this repository helped teams integrate
Laravel Dusk with CI pipelines (especially GitLab CI)
in a more predictable and reproducible way.

## Why this project is archived

The ecosystem around end-to-end testing has significantly evolved.

Modern E2E testing has shifted away from:

- tight coupling between E2E tests and application internals
- direct database access from browser tests
- framework-specific E2E tooling (such as PHP-side runners)
- custom Docker images built around legacy browser drivers

Instead, current best practices focus on:

- black-box testing
- API-driven test setup
- production-like environments
- fast, parallel and portable test execution

Maintaining a Dusk-specific Docker image no longer aligns with
the direction in which modern E2E testing is heading.

For these reasons, this project is no longer actively maintained.

## Recommended alternatives

If you're starting a new project today, consider the following tools instead:

### ✅ Playwright

A modern end-to-end testing framework with first-class CI support.

- Multi-browser support (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)
- Built-in test runner and parallel execution
- API testing capabilities
- Authentication and session reuse
- Very stable in CI environments

https://playwright.dev/

### ✅ Cypress

Still a solid choice for many teams, especially for frontend-heavy applications.

- Excellent developer experience
- Great debugging tools
- Large ecosystem and community

https://www.cypress.io/

## Laravel-specific note

Instead of accessing the database directly from E2E tests, consider:

- using API endpoints for test setup
- exposing seed/test-only endpoints in non-production environments
- reusing authenticated browser state instead of logging in for every test

This approach leads to more robust, faster and future-proof E2E test suites.

## Final note

Thanks to everyone who used this project, reported issues,
or shared feedback over the years ❤️

The repository will remain available for reference purposes,
but no further updates or fixes will be provided.

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

Current state of supported versions of Laravel and PHP is presented below.

You should be up and running in seconds. However, please carefully read the following notes.

For now **DuskTestCase.php** needs to be modified in **all cases**. **THIS package** is not going to work **without `-no-sandbox` directive in this file.**. You should also disable starting of `# static::startChromeDriver();`, to have more control of which chromedriver will run. Please read more about it, under **Usage**...

In case of any issues, please read the current documentation thoroughly, check existing issues (including closed ones) and finally, report a new issue on GitHub.

If this package proves to be useful to you, please star it on Docker Hub or GitHub to increase its visibility to other users.

- 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',
            ],
        ],
```

## **Documentation**

### **What's included? (versions depend on image/tag)**

| Libs included|
|--------------|
| PHP          |
| Xdebug       |
| NGINX        |
| Chromedriver |
| Chrome       |
| NODEJS       |
| NPM          |
| YARN         |
| BOWER        |
| PHPUNIT      |
| NODE-SASS    |
| GULP         |

To see exact versions of installed packages, please run `versions` command in your `script` declaration in `.gitlab-ci.yml`, as in examples.

### **Available additional commands:**

`configure-laravel` - sets up file permissions, generates laravel key, migrates and seeds db, checks and enforces chromedriver compatibility

`start-nginx-ci-project` - configures and starts nginx with php-fpm

`start-project-chromedriver` - starts project embedded chromedriver on port 9515

`start-system-chromedriver` - starts system embedded chromedriver on port 9515

`stop-chromedriver` - stops running chromedriver

`versions` - shows versions of included packages and enabled php modules.

### **Databases:**

This build is tested with **mysql**, but also works with other docker db engines

To successfully run mysql add to your test routine:

`services:`

`mysql:5.7` #or specify any downwards version of mysql. **mysql:latest** will not work out of the box, therefore please check changelog

And in your .env  or your .env candidate file to use, mark mysql as the corresponding resource (**DB_HOST=mysql**)

If you receive errors like
```
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
```
probably you have other mysql instance running in your host system with that name. In this case you may need to provide db-alias for your test. More info [here](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/issues/21#issuecomment-444836027)

### **Usage:**

Make sure your **DuskTestCase** class in /tests/DuskTestCase.php matches all attributes, like drive options, host url, and port, like in this example **[DuskTestCase.php](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/DuskTestCase.php)**  # there are some modifications which **you need to apply (especially --no-sandbox in $options for driver)!**, these changes should not affect your local dev environment, otherwise there might be something else wrong with your project.

In your .gitlab-ci.yml use this image like:

`image: chilio/laravel-dusk-ci:latest`# you can experiment with other images, which might address your needs.

add script lines:

`- cp .env.example .env`  # remember to have **APP_URL=http://localhost** and **DB_HOST=mysql**

`- configure-laravel` # preparations to run project

`- start-nginx-ci-project`  # Here we start webserver, so this is important before running dusk

Finally you can run all your tests served by nginx | php-fpm via:

`- php artisan dusk`

#### Note on using chromedriver versions:

**Laravel Dusk** ships with included **chromedriver** for linux, mac and windows. The examples here allow you to run dusk tests with these included chromedrivers (for linux in this case).

As of **2018-05-08** this package automatically fixes eventual problems with chrome or chromedriver. Therefore following changes to your app **should not be necessary**.

However, if you encounter problems, especially errors, with incorrect chromedriver version on your local machine, or this docker image, you can use, this package inbuilt own chromedriver. This option brings, a little bit more compatibility to your project, since Chrome is updated much more often, then chromedriver. In order to do that, you need to make only 2 script modifications:

1. In DuskTestCase.php comment out starting chromedriver like`// static::startChromeDriver();`.  In that case, to make your local development working, before issuing `php artisan dusk` command, you need to install proper chromedriver version manually, and make sure your chromedriver version matches Chrome, running on your local machine. You need to make sure chromedriver is started/running also. Due to different systems and configurations, that's beyond the scope of this documentation. Just to make clear here, in this case you are responsible for updating your own chromedriver with your current installation of Chrome. Since Chrome updates are pretty often, that's the suggested way to go, to keep your local dev running, while other packages are a little behind...
2. After running `configure-laravel` Chromedriver should be started already. If you want to use other version, in .gitlab-ci.yml add  `- stop-chromedriver` and one of (`- start-project-chromedriver` or `- start-system-chromedriver`) before running `- php artisan dusk`. This will give you more control of which Chromedriver will be processing your Dusk tests.

------

#### Further example script commands (if needed in your case):

`- cp phpunit.xml.ci phpunit.xml` # In case ,you don't want to interfere, with your local test environment, you can apply this approach for ci tests. Make sure, to create phpunit.xml.ci, in your project and phpunit.dusk.xml. You can specify, 2 separate files for your tests, one for phpunit and one for dusk, you can use examples, from this repo or modify them to suite your needs...

`- composer install --prefer-dist --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-progress --no-scripts`

`- bower install --quiet`

`- npm run dev ` or if you are on yarn registry `- yarn run dev `

`- ./vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -v --coverage-text --colors --stderr`# to run phpunit with version specified in your project

### **Examples:**

**[DuskTestCase.php](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/DuskTestCase.php)** # with all modifications to successfully run php artisan dusk tests

**[DuskTestCase.php](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/old-laravel-6-and-below/DuskTestCase.php)** # (OLD for Laravel 6 and below) with all modifications to successfully run php artisan dusk tests

**[phpunit.dusk.xml](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/phpunit.dusk.xml)**  # If exists in project root, this file will be automatically injected when dusk is run, in case, you want to define any custom variables for your tests like DBs, Caches etc.

**[phpunit.xml.ci](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/phpunit.xml.ci)** # in case, you want to customize phpunit tests in CI , remember to copy this to phpunit.xml by adding `- cp phpunit.xml.ci phpunit.xml` to your gitlab-ci.yml.

**[gitlab-ci.yml](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/.gitlab-ci.yml)** # with stages, cache, and artifacts, assuming you are using scripts like "dev" in package.json.

### **Troubleshooting:**
- Please check contents of **[DuskTestCase.php](https://github.com/chilio/laravel-dusk-ci/blob/master/examples/DuskTestCase.php)**, you should have it updated accordingly.
- If you get errors, about wrong chromedriver version, or errors about  **Laravel dusk** not able to connect on port 9515, please consider stopping chromedriver via `stop-chromedriver` and starting proper version of your choosing ('system' or 'project'). Check **Note on using chromedriver versions**
- If your Laravel chromedriver version is not recognized properly you can issue `- php artisan dusk:install`
- Try different tag versions compatible with your project.
- You can always try older legacy version like for example **chilio/laravel-dusk-ci:php-8.2-legacy** instead of a current version **chilio/laravel-dusk-ci:php-8.2** 
- In your dusk tests remember to use -**>waitFor()** extensively, to make sure, your pages are rendered properly, before test fails. Usually, **CI** test environments are much slower, than production or your local dev, cause they need to build caches from scratch.
- By default, all dusk browser tests are run with a **resolution** 1920x720 and color depth 24 (bits), if you need to change that, add/modify SCREEN_RESOLUTION in your .gitlab-ci.yml in `variables:` section, like for example `SCREEN_RESOLUTION: 1280x720x24`
- If you experience **/bootstrap/autoload.php** errors, make sure your appropriate **phpunit configs** are updated, especially in line `bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"`
- If you get warning about mysql `Service runner probably didn't start properly` or other strange behaviours make sure to remove all cache and artifacts routines. Depending on your workflow, they might introduce problems to your tests. You should also check, if your gitlab-runner is working in a privileged mode.
