I get tests that fail every so often because of the way the system, not sure what part, handles apostrophes.
When I use $faker->name, I often get something with an apostrophe, and it's most often O'Connell.
When this happens, my tests that do an ->assertSee($model->name) fail because what actually goes into the HTML is O'Connell.
What's the best way to avoid these phantom failures?
Thanks!
It's because blade runs variables through html entities, so apostrophes get converted to their html entity '
In your tests, you just need to run your variables through the e() function, which is what blade is doing.
->assertSee(e($model->name))
That does the trick. Thanks!
Thank you so much -- I get that bug every once in while an the whole page dumps.
