Hi,
To fix the above issue, I kind of hacked my way by adding
Log::useFiles('php://stderr');
to the top of the routes.php file; this makes Laravel log the exceptions onto the console instead of storage/laravel.log.
Hope that helps.

PHPUnit is working fine, tests fail when they have to, but I can't see the exception that was thrown when that happens. My tests/RoutingTest class has
class RoutingTest extends TestCase {
public function test_it_shows_dashboard()
{
$this->call('GET', '/');
$this->assertResponseOk();
}
}
But, since my routes file is empty, it should fail. As I said, that's working fine. In fact, the response I when running gulp (which runs mix.phpUnit()) is
[19:38:43] Using gulpfile ~/Code/Interviews/Site/gulpfile.js

So, my questions is why am I not seeing a message with the NotFoundHttpException within PHPUnit, like I see Jeffrey gets? Important fact: my OS is Linux (Ubuntu 14).
