Start a Laravel Dusk test from inside a Laravel form

Well it should be possible I guess, but I've never done that. You first need to find a way to trigger dusk using a normal controller action I guess. So call the artisan command and see what happens in your application.

I have tried this but is does not work:

class DuskController extends Controller
{
    public function run() {
        \Artisan::call('dusk');
    }
}

I get "Command "dusk" is not defined."

I've also tried:

class DuskController extends Controller
{
    public function run() {
        $process = new Process('php artisan dusk');
        $process->run();
        $process->getOutput();
    }
}

with no luck either. The ddumps "Could not open input file: artisan".

Any other ideas??

You might have to give it the full path to artisan. Not sure what default directory Process looks in.

Its the Symfony Process: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html

Ok, but did you try entering the full path to artisan?

$process = new Process('php /path/to/artisan dusk');

Oh, i know what you mean. I've enterned the below:

 public function run() {
        $process = new Process('php C:\mypath\artisan dusk');
        $process->run();
        dd($process->getOutput());
    }

I now get

Warning: TTY mode is not supported on Windows platform.\r\n
Could not open input file: vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit\n

and nothing happened.

Even if i remove the dd line, still nothing happens.

Any other idea??
