Running the test below, with phpunit ./tests/Browser/NotesTest.php --filter a_user_can_delete_notes
I see my homestead db being changed, instead of sqlite db ! Why is that ?
public function a_user_can_delete_notes()
{
$user = factory(User::class)->create();
$notes = factory(Note::class, 2)->create([
'user_id' => $user->id
]);
$this->browse(function (Browser $browser) use ($user, $notes) {
$browser->loginAs($user)
->visit(new NotesPage)
->pause(500);
foreach ($notes as $note) {
$browser->click('.notes .list-group-item:nth-child(2) a:nth-child(2)')
->pause(500)
->assertSeeIn('.alert', 'Your note has been deleted.')
->assertDontSeeIn('.notes', $note->title);
}
$browser->pause(500)
->assertSeeIn('.notes', 'No notes yet');
});
}
Even with this trick in "CreatesApplication.php", it will still go in the homestead db :
public function createApplication()
{
$app = require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';
$app->make(Kernel::class)->bootstrap();
$app['config']->set('database.default','testing_browser'); // HERE
return $app;
}
I do have my "testing_browser" sqlite db selected in phpunit.xml :
<env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="testing_browser"/>
But it is still using my homestead database too !!
I see my testing_browser.sqlite growing, but also my "notes" in my homestead db being deleted !!
Laravel is messing with ".env" and ".env.dusk.local".
Of course if I replace the content of ".env" with the one of ".env.dusk.local", it will not mess with my homestead db.
How can I prevent dusk/phpunit from reading my ".env" file's db ?
I'd say the problem is more phpunit , not dusk... Does replaces the ".env" file correctly while running. Then put the original back.
phpunit is reading the db from ".env"... How can I prevent that ?
It has nothing to do with Dusk.
It's phpunit not persisting the overridden ".env" value in phpunit.xml :
<php>
<env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
<env name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
<env name="QUEUE_DRIVER" value="sync"/>
<env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="testing_browser"/>
</php>
But why ?
It starts my "testing_browser" sqlite db, and somewhere it switch to my homestead .env db.
Finally I understand everything. There was a conflict with phpunit and laravel dusk. This test is using "Laravel\Dusk\Browser", so I guess that by this time it switches to .env which have not been overridden by the ".env.dusk.local" content, like "php artisan dusk" do.
