Does anyone have the GitHub link for the Laravel workshop or the name of the series where I can find it?

Hello, I’m really enjoying the whole series — Jeffrey is a great instructor.

I’ve run into an issue with browser testing in Pest and I can’t figure out what I’m missing. My environment is Windows, PHP 8.5, NVS with Node.js 22, Xdebug, PHPStorm — everything else works fine.

When running Pest browser tests, the request is empty whenever multipart/form-data is used (basically any form with this content type). If I submit the same form manually in the browser (my local PHP dev server is running via Symfony CLI), everything works as expected and the request is populated correctly.

So the problem happens only in Pest browser tests, not in the real browser.

Has anyone encountered this with Pest browser tests or knows what could cause multipart/form-data requests to be empty in this case?

What am I missing?

Edit: It is Pest bug https://github.com/pestphp/pest/issues/1495

And indeed in Pest browser plugin it is unfortunately unfinished - https://github.com/pestphp/pest-plugin-browser/blob/4.x/src/Drivers/LaravelHttpServer.php#L257

Edit 2: Plugin has PR with fix: https://github.com/pestphp/pest-plugin-browser/pull/200

In the controller, I modified the logic for storing an idea a little bit. I believe that in this case it is good practice to use database transactions because we depend on two queries working correctly: creating the Idea and creating each of its steps.

If one of them fails, the whole operation should be rolled back to keep the database consistent.

public function store(StoreIdeaRequest $request)
    {
        DB::transaction(function() use ($request): void {
            $idea = Auth::user()->ideas()->create($request->safe()->except('steps'));

            $steps = collect($request->safe()->input('steps', []))
                ->map(fn($step) => ['description' => $step])
                ->all();

            if ($steps !== []) {
                $idea->steps()->createMany($steps);
            }
        });

        return to_route('idea.index')
            ->with('success', 'Idea created!');
    }

@kumarayush Another possible error is that you may not have added the PATCH route in your web.php file:

Route::patch('steps/{step}', [StepController::class, 'update'])->name('step.update');

You can also use the Artisan command to visualize all your routes:

php artisan route:list

@kumarayush Did you use the PATCH method in the form? Remember, HTML forms only support GET and POST.

The solution is to use POST and add a hidden input called _method, like this:

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('step.update', $step) }}">
    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PATCH">
</form>

But in Laravel, you can use the helper directive instead:

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('step.update', $step) }}">
    @csrf
    @method('PATCH')

    <!-- your inputs here -->

    <button type="submit">Update</button>
</form>

That way Laravel will correctly handle the PATCH request.

I’m using https://heroicons.com/, and it has worked well for me. I just copy the icon, create the Blade view, and add the width and height attributes set to 20, but that’s optional. Thank you
