Is there a way to type Java script directly with Laravel Dusk for example

document.getElementById("home-user-image").innerHTML  = 'do your magic';

I am not interested in using the Laravel PHP way of doing things

->type('#home-user-image, do your magic') 

Just to put in directly classic JS.

@tykus

Thank you that works. I think I read somewhere that having too many Facades is not good for the application. Is that true?

@tykus How would I do that?

I would like to delete all fodders and sub folders in a public folder. I am trying to use

    $photo_path = public_path().'/dusk_upload_photo/'; 
                    
        File::deleteDirectory($photo_path);

I have use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;

However I’m getting the following error

Class 'App\File' not found

What am I doing wrong?

I got it to work

$json = $request->file('json')->get(); 
$array = json_decode($json, true);

Thank you for your help

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion however when I try dd($request->file('json'));

I do not get the data in the JSON I uploaded.

How do I extract the JSON and converted to a PHP array?

This is what I get

I am trying to upload a JSON file from my local computer

However when I try to dd the JSON in my store in my controller

I have issues

I tried the following methods

dd($request["json"]); I am unable to pull the

when I try dd($request->input('json'));

I get “null”

What am I doing wrong?

This is my form

<form action="{{url('upload_json')}}" method="POST" novalidate="novalidate" autocomplete="off" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  @csrf  

  <div class="custom-file">
    <input name="json" type="file" class="custom-file-input" id="inputGroupFile01" aria-describedby="inputGroupFileAddon01">
    <label class="custom-file-label" for="inputGroupFile01">Upload JSON</label>
  </div>

  <div class="form-group">
    <small class="text-muted">The JSON must be max size: 100k</small><br>
    <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('json') }}</span>
</div>


  <a class="btn btn-secondary" href="{{ url('') }}">Cancel</a>
  <input class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload JSON">  
</form>

This is my store method

  public function store(Request $request)
    {
        // dd('I am in the dd  store');
        // dd($request["json"]);
        dd($request->input('json'));
    }

I set up a form that I upload A JSON file to it

I am trying to test how I can analyze my file it seems like it’s never submitted to the next form.

What am I doing wrong?

This is my form to upload JSON

<h1 class="title"> Upload your Json</h1>
<div class="upload_file">
<form action="{{ url('') }}" method="POST" novalidate="novalidate" autocomplete="off" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  @csrf  

  <div class="custom-file">
    <input type="file" class="custom-file-input" id="customFile">
    <label class="custom-file-label" for="customFile">Choose file</label>
  </div>

  <a class="btn btn-secondary" href="{{ url('') }}">Cancel</a>
  <input class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload JSON">  
</form>

This is my controller

 public function index()
    {
        return view('forms.upload_json');
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {   
        dd('I am in the dd');
        dd($request);
        return view('forms.upload_json');
    }

Hello, I have the following HTML in Laravel Dusk

<button class="department btn-dept" id="wedding" data-department="wedding" data-ptags="occasion:wedding">
                                <span class="show-for-large-up">Weddings</span>
                                <span class="show-for-medium-only">Weddings</span>
                                <span class="show-for-small-only">Weddings</span>
                                <span class="show-for-plus-only">Weddings</span>
                            </button>

And I would like to click on this button in Laravel Dusk I tried the following options

->click('Weddings') ->click('.department btn-dept') ->click('#wedding')

What other options are there?

I started playing around with Laravel dusk

I enabled live view of my browser where I can see browser behavior when doing commands in Dusk

I tried the following command “php artisan dusk”

However I get the following error: C:\xampp\htdocs\try\tests\Browser\TryTest.php:23

ERRORS! Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Errors: 1.

My class is

<?php

namespace Tests\Browser;

use Tests\DuskTestCase;
use Laravel\Dusk\Browser;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;

class TryTest extends DuskTestCase
{
    /**
     * A Dusk test example.
     * @test

    public function testExample()
    {
        $this->browse(function (Browser $browser) {
            $browser->visit('/public/')
                    // ->pause(1000)
                    ->assertSee('Laravel');

        });
    }
}

In the .env I have APP_URL=http://localhost:8080/try/

What am I doing wrong?

I found the issue I should have put in .env my local host and the name of the Laravel project in my case "try"

"http://localhost:8080/try"

I tried to install Laravel Dusk with Laravel 5.8

I found that I need to change my .env APP_URL

I tried the following two changes To put the value that I get when I try

php artisan serve

and also to put the public route as recommended at the following site

http://terrapinssky.blogspot.com/2017/08/laravel55duskresolved-default.html

However both situations I received an error The error message is

There was 1 failure:

What am I doing wrong?

I was thinking of using Laravel dusk to build a bot that will simulate upload of photos to a website that I do not own.

Is Laravel dusk the right tool?

You can watch a video explaining what I’m trying to accomplish at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vTtmAZwHogO21pHxC4UGUJMooBGMRuqZ/view?usp=sharing

The HTML that allows to upload photos on external websites is:

<label class="btn btn-primary btn-block">
                                <span class="hide-for-small">Add from computer</span>
                                <span class="show-for-small">Add from mobile</span>
                                <input type="file" class="photo" id="uploadr" multiple="" accept="image/*">
                            </label>

@Snapey I just tested it and change my code and it works thank you.

The issue is when I try

 static public function get_categories_cms()
 {
  // $content = categorie::all();
  $pagi_jump = 3;
  
  $content = categorie::paginate(); 
  


  if($content -> count() > $pagi_jump)
  {
    $data['content'] =  $content;
    $data['pagi_jump'] = true;

    return $data;

  }

    else {
        
        $data['content'] = $content;
        $data['pagi_jump'] = false; 

        return $data;
       
    }   

 }

In blade I have the following

  @if($pagi_jump)   
  {{$content->links()}}
@endif

I get in my blade template all 6 items and not the paginate bar to go those the items.

I am trying to use paginate

I understood that paginate only work on query not a collection I tried originally to use

$content = categorie::all();

But then it created issues

So I tried the following:

static public function get_categories_cms()
 {
  // $content = categorie::all();
  $pagi_jump = 3;
  $content = categorie::paginate(); 
  


  if($content -> count() > $pagi_jump)
  {
    $content = categorie::paginate($pagi_jump);
    $data['content'] =  $content;
    $data['pagi_jump'] = true;
    return $data;

  }

    else {
        
        $data['content'] = $content;
        $data['pagi_jump'] = false; 
        return $data;
       
    }   

 }

} 

The issue with this code is that it only returns 3 products even though I have 6 products.

What am I doing wrong?

@wheesnoza Thank your solution works

I have the following code

$query = 'SELECT c.title as c_title,p.*
        FROM categories as c, products as p
        WHERE c.id = p.category_id
        ORDER BY c.title ASC';

        

        $data['products'] = DB::select($query); 
        
        
         
      // This variable defines how many products by default will be inside the paginate
      $pagi_jump = 10;
          
    //   $users = DB::table('users')->paginate(15);
      $data['products'] = $data['products']->paginate(10);

When I try to use paginate I get on error that:

“Call to a member function paginate() on array”

What am I doing wrong?

Dose paginate work with on array?

@wheesnoza Thank you.

I am trying to fetch order information for a particular user from my order table.

When I put in the following query directly into MYSQL php Admin

It works

SELECT o.* FROM orders as o WHERE ‘1’ = o.user_id ORDER BY o.user_id ASC

However if try the following $u_id = strval(Session::get('user_id'));

    $query = 'SELECT o.*
    FROM  orders as o
    WHERE $u_id = o.user_id
    ORDER BY o.user_id ASC';

    
    $data['content'] = DB::select($query); 

I get the following error:

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '$u_id' in 'where clause' (SQL: SELECT o.* FROM orders as o WHERE $u_id = o.user_id ORDER BY o.user_id ASC) Previous exceptions

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column '$u_id' in 'where clause' (42S22)

I know that $u_id = ‘1’;

Therefore I should get the same thing.

What am I doing wrong?

@Snapey

you mentioned that “null or '' submitted in your change password form will still produce a hash”

Can you please explain more what you mean by this I don’t understand.

@guybrush_threepwood

1. The code that I put in the previous post are my App/User.php I put there all the relevant methods.
2. setPasswordAttribute() I do not have such a method 3)After checking my config/hashing.php I have the following 'driver' => 'bcrypt'

What now?

@guybrush_threepwood @Snapey

Here is my model

public static function save_new_user($request){
         
        
         if($request['password'] == $request['password_confirmation']){
           
           
           
           // Cerat user
            
            $user = New User();
            $user->name = $request['name'];
            $user->email = $request['email'];
            $user->password = bcrypt($request['password']);
            $user->image = 'default.jpg';
            $user->save();   

         }
         
         

         public static function validate_user($email,$pass)
         {
   
             $valid = false;
             $user = DB::table('users AS u')
             ->join('users_roles AS ur','u.id','=', 'ur.uid')
             ->where('u.email','=',$email)
             ->first();
              
   
             $hashedPassword = $user->password;
             
           //  dd(Hash::check($pass, $hashedPassword));   
                
                 if(!empty ($user) && $pass == $user->password) 
                 {
                   
   
                    
                   $valid = true;
   
                  
                   Session::put('user_id',$user->id);
                   Session::put('user_name',$user->name);
   
                 
                   if($user->rid == 1) Session::put('is_admin',true);
                   
                   
                   Session::flash('success_message','Welcome back '.$user->name);
   
                  
   
               }
                
                   return $valid;
      
         }

         

         public static function update_user($request)
      
      
         {  
   
          
           $user_id = Session::get('user_id');
            
         
           User::upload_profile_image($request); 
          
   
           $user = User::find($user_id);
           $user->name = $request['name'];
           $user->email = $request['email'];
           $user->password = bcrypt($request['password']);
           $user->save();

         }

Can you see what I’m doing wrong?

I have a login system With is using Hash When I try to re-log in with the password I’m not able to successfully login with Hash I’m checking the hash against my database with the following code

$hashedPassword = $user->password;
Hash::check($pass, $hashedPassword));

I have a video explaining this issue better which can be found at the following link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yPP00EFEKw8_B-kHuYaVjVJf_7nhl0WL/view?usp=sharing

If you watch my video I’m sure you will understand my problem.

Thank you for your help

Thank you that works

I am trying to submit a form with a photo. It seems like the photo information is not passing in the request

When I try dd($request->toArray());

I do not get the photos information the only thing I get is the photo name.

This is my form:

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you all for your help

I found a creative way around my issue I saved the email address in a session.

This is my code and it works

  'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.Session::get('user_id'),    

A special thank you to @MichalOravec for his help he you it again

@MichalOravec

Yes I use FormRequest right

I do not understand your other answers.

@MichalOravec I tried your suggestion

and got the following error

“Trying to get property of non-object”

I also tried

 email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$this->user()->email

and got the same error.

Please advise

@MichalOravec

I am Not sure what you mean by change your route

This is my route

Route::post('edit', '[email protected]');

What do I do now?

I have the following form validation

return [
            'name' => 'required|min:2|max:50',            
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',                      
            'new_password' => 'required|min:6|max:20|confirmed'
           
        //
    
    ];

The form is a form that allows a user to update their profile information.

For the

'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',

It checks the email address against the database and requires it to be unique however I want to make one exception which is if it is this particular user email address that he will not have to change it. That way I do not force him to change his email address.

I tried the following variations with no success

'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,' .$this->$content['email'],

'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$email->id,

However both of them seem not to be working What am I doing wrong?

@MichalOravec

Your answer is awesome

And I really debating what answer to pick.

However the main question was regarding password_confirmation

After I read his answer I knew what to do. I wish I can pick 2 best answer for this question.

@MichalOravec

Thank you that works

@wingly and @MichalOravec thank you for clarifying regarding the confirmation

Regarding customizing the message. I tried your suggestion however it does not work.

This is my code

class EditProfileRequest extends FormRequest
{

    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function rules()
    {
        
        $user_email = Session::get('user_email');
        return [
            'name' => 'required|min:2|max:50',            
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
            'new_password' => 'required|min:6|max:20|',            
            'confirm_new_password' => 'required|min:6|max:20|confirmed',
        //
    
    ];
    }

    public function messages()
{
    return [
        'new_password.confirmed' => 'Your new password and new password confirmation must be the same',
    ];
}

    
}

I only want customize part of the message not all of it how to override part of it?

Your solution works however, I don’t understand how it knows that new_password and new_password_confirmation

What actually ties them in together?

Also when I try to submit on purpose on the form wrong information I get the following error message

“The confirm new password field is required.”

I would like to customize the error message that it will say “Your new password and new password confirmation must be the same”

How can I customize the message?

This my form code:

      </div>

I am trying to build a request

I want to make sure that the request checks that 'new_password' & 'confirm_new_password' are identical how can this be done?

This is my code

return [
            'name' => 'required|min:2|max:50',
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
            'new_password' => 'required|min:6|max:20|confirmed',
            'confirm_new_password' => 'required|min:6|max:20|confirmed',
        ];

I have the following array in $temp with has on array with the key “data”

The information in “data” is serialize.

When i do in my controller dd($temp);

I get

array:2 [▼
  0 => {#280 ▼

How can I create an array that has a sentence with 2 part information? for example:

Id:5,name: 14k Yellow Gold Round Classic Yellow Solitaire Diamond Stud Earrings (0.75 Ct, Fancy Yellow(Irradiated), SI ) Price: 2344 Quantity:1

Id:9,name: 18k White Gold Princess Invisible Setting heart elegant modern classic diamond pendant (1.01 Ct, H , VS ) Price: 600.0 Quantity:1

Thank you for your help

It seems there was a typo is the for each loop

It needs to be

@foreach (unserialize($val->data) as $item)

Thank you for your help

@MichalOravec

It is still not working

I am getting the following error

“Undefined offset: 1”

This is my code

<tbody>
      
    
      @if(!empty($content)) 
        @foreach($content as $val)
          

  
        
       
          <tr>
          <td>{{$val->id}}</td>       
          <td>{{ App\Custom_class\Helper::convertDates($val->created_at)}}</td>
          <td>{{$val->name}}</td> 
          <td>Order Information</td>        
          @foreach (unserialize($val->data) $as item)
          {{ $item['id'] }}
      
      @endforeach        
           <td>${{number_format($val->total)}}</td> 
         
 
            
                     
            
         </tr>

      @endforeach   
    @endif

    </tbody>

@MichalOravec

This the code from my blade template

 <tbody>
      
    
      @if(!empty($content)) 
        @foreach($content as $val)
          

        {{var_dump(unserialize($val->data))}}
        
       
          <tr>
          <td>{{$val->id}}</td>       
          <td>{{ App\Custom_class\Helper::convertDates($val->created_at)}}</td>
          <td>{{$val->name}}</td> 
          <td>Order Information</td>        
          {{-- <td>{{ unserialize($val['data'])[0]->name }}</td> --}}          
           <td>${{number_format($val->total)}}</td> 
         

            
                     
            
         </tr>

      @endforeach   
    @endif

    </tbody>

Everything is working great except for

{{ unserialize($val['data'])[0]->name }}

Which is currently on a remark

When I use

{{var_dump(unserialize($val->data))}}

I get

array(3) { [5]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "5" ["name"]=> string(111) "14k Yellow Gold Round Classic Yellow Solitaire Diamond Stud Earrings (0.75 Ct, Fancy Yellow(Irradiated), SI ) " ["price"]=> float(2344) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [9]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "9" ["name"]=> string(107) "18k White Gold Princess Invisible Setting heart elegant modern classic diamond pendant (1.01 Ct, H , VS ) " ["price"]=> float(600) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [8]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "8" ["name"]=> string(98) "18k White Gold Invisible Setting Pear Cut Diamond Flower Pendant (0.57 Ct, G Color, SI1 Clarity) " ["price"]=> float(9000) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } } array(4) { [1]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "1" ["name"]=> string(92) "18k White Gold Round Cut Multi-stone Diamond Eternity Band (0.32 Ct, G Color, SI2 Clarity) " ["price"]=> float(1002) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [2]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "2" ["name"]=> string(111) "18k Yellow Gold Princess Cut Modern classic four stone diamond engagement ring (0.42 Ct, H Color, VS Clarity) " ["price"]=> float(1222) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [5]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "5" ["name"]=> string(111) "14k Yellow Gold Round Classic Yellow Solitaire Diamond Stud Earrings (0.75 Ct, Fancy Yellow(Irradiated), SI ) " ["price"]=> float(2344) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [13]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(2) "13" ["name"]=> string(80) "18k White Gold Round Cut Diamond Bangle Bracelet (0.75 Ct, G Color, VS1 Clarity)" ["price"]=> float(1600) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } } array(2) { [5]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "5" ["name"]=> string(111) "14k Yellow Gold Round Classic Yellow Solitaire Diamond Stud Earrings (0.75 Ct, Fancy Yellow(Irradiated), SI ) " ["price"]=> float(2344) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } [6]=> array(6) { ["id"]=> string(1) "6" ["name"]=> string(137) "18k White Gold Invisible Setting Round Cut Diamond Flower Earrings (0.77 Ct, G Color with Surrounding Blue Sapphire Stones, VS Clarity) " ["price"]=> float(1500) ["quantity"]=> int(1) ["attributes"]=> array(0) { } ["conditions"]=> array(0) { } } }

Please advise what I’m doing wrong

@MichalOravec I tried your suggestion and got the following error:

“Undefined offset: 0 (0)”

Any other ideas?

I have the following information in my database which is decoded with Serialize

This is what I have saved

a:3:{i:5;a:6:{s:2:"id";s:1:"5";s:4:"name";s:111:"14k Yellow Gold Round Classic Yellow Solitaire Diamond Stud Earrings (0.75 Ct, Fancy Yellow(Irradiated), SI )

";s:5:"price";d:9000;s:8:"quantity";i:1;s:10:"attributes";a:0:{}s:10:"conditions";a:0:{}}}

When I try to use the following command

 <td>{{unserialize($val['data'])}}</td> 

In my blade template I get the following error:

htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given (

What am I doing wrong?

@mvd Thank you that works!!!

I have the following method

 static public function delete_category($id)

 {
    $product =  Self::find($id)->toArray();
    

    $query = "SELECT id from products WHERE category_id = {$id}"; 
    $all_products_id = DB::select($query);

   
   
    dd($all_products_id[0]["id"]);
    product::delete_product($all_products_id[0]); 
   

 
 }

When I try the dd($all_products_id[0]["id"]); I get the following error “Cannot use object of type stdClass as array”

My array structure is

array:5 [▼ 0 => {#240 ▼ +"id": 22 }

1 => {#244 ▼ +"id": 24 }

2 => {#246 ▶} 3 => {#247 ▶} 4 => {#252 ▶} ]

Why am I getting this error? What am I doing wrong?

@Snapey

Thank you that works. I learned a lot.

Is there a way to make it more elegant than writing that full namespace in the ?

@jlrdw

What do you mean by “Try using the full namespace.”

Where to use this full namespace? In the Blade template?

are in the ? Can you explain more?

@jlrdw

Your changes worked Thank you!!!! however if you want to use them directly on the blade template for example

{{ Helper::convertDates($val['created_at'])}}

That does not work

Not sure how do I do use for a blade template

Yes,

This what I have

use App\Custom_class\Helper;

@jlrdw @tykus @a4ashraf

I built my first ever custom class

However when I tried to run the code I get following error

“Class 'app\Custom_class\Helper' not found”

In my controller I tried just to convert one date and see how it works. And If it works to build a forEach loop to take care of the rest: // this is where the debuuger tells me it is problematic.

$temp = Helper::convertDates($temp); 

This is my custom made class

<?php

namespace App\Custom_class;
 
class Helper

{

static public function convertDates($date)
{

  $createDate = new DateTime($date);

    $strip = $createDate->format('d-m-Y');
    return $strip;
    
 
 
}

}

This is the controller class using the custom made class

    public function index()
    {
        $data['content'] = product::all()->toArray();  
    
        $temp = Helper::convertDates($temp);
        

        dd($temp);
        // dd( $data['content']);
        // dd($data['content'][0]['created_at']);

        return view('cms.content.cms_products',$data);

    }

What am I doing wrong?

@a4ashraf What would be best practice to import Carbon to my controller and change the information there before I import the information to my view?
