Run test from controller ?

You could create an artisan command that runs phpunit and call it using the Artisan facade.

To be honest, i wanted to use laravel/dusk within a controller

Hi Youssef_ depends on you try to test. If your method contains business logic it would be better to move that logic to the related model or in its own class and test it with phpunit. if it is just a ui test and you are interested for the result you can use dusk. Of course that is my point of you. i suggest you to watch the testing series that jeffrey offers us.
