Why is there a folder there in the first place? Just use laravel to redirect. This allows you to test it as well https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/routing#redirect-routes

Testing a URL that does not exist in routes
Hi, I have a folder called docs in my public folder. I am trying to write a test to check if the status is 200 and if it is correctly being redirected to the correct version, but as I understand, the $this->get('/docs') does not work because it is looking for a route inside the app, so is there any way that I can make this work?

@Sinnbeck I am using Vuepress for my documentation, and I set the build folder of it in the public folder so it can be accessible.

@mozex Then it sounds more like an e2e test as you need to actually call that url. So either cypress or laravel Dusk

@Sinnbeck thanks I considered it, but I wanted to try this first because I tried https://www.google.com and it worked, so I thought maybe there is a way to achieve this as well.

@mozex How are you making the redirect? Maybe you can write the test in that language.

@Sinnbeck It is being handled by javascript, but I think the best solution would be Dusk or Cypress.

What are you actually testing here?

@tykus I want to test if the folder exists and redirects to the correct version and make sure some content exists because generating docs is part of the deployment. I need to test it to make sure it works fine.
