# Browser Testing Browser testing is an essential part of modern web development, allowing you to ensure that your application works correctly across different browsers and devices. Pest provides a simple and elegant way to write browser tests. Here is an example of how to write a browser test using Pest: ```php it('may welcome the user', function () { $page = visit('/'); $page->assertSee('Welcome'); }); ``` This is a basic example of a browser test that checks if the homepage contains the text "Welcome". However, Pest's browser testing capabilities go beyond this simple example. You can use various methods to interact with the page, such as clicking buttons, filling out forms, and navigating between pages. Here is an example of a more complex browser test, on Laravel, that checks if a user can sign in: ```php it('may sign in the user', function () { Event::fake(); User::factory()->create([ // assumes RefreshDatabase trait is used on Pest.php... 'email' => 'nuno@laravel.com', 'password' => 'password', ]); $page = visit('/')->on()->mobile()->firefox(); $page->click('Sign In') ->assertUrlIs('/login') ->assertSee('Sign In to Your Account') ->fill('email', 'nuno@laravel.com') ->fill('password', 'password') ->click('Submit') ->assertSee('Dashboard'); $this->assertAuthenticated(); Event::assertDispatched(UserLoggedIn::class); }); ``` Note that, you are leveraging the full power of Laravel's testing capabilities, such as refresh database, event faking, and authentication assertions, while also actually doing browser testing. ## Getting Started To get started with browser testing in Pest, you need to install the Pest Browser plugin. You can do this by running the following command: ```bash composer require pestphp/pest-plugin-browser --dev npm install playwright@latest npx playwright install ``` Finally, add `tests/Browser/Screenshots` to your `.gitignore` file to avoid committing screenshots taken during browser tests. ### Running Browser Tests Running browser tests is similar to running regular Pest tests: ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest ``` We recommend running tests in parallel using the `--parallel` option to speed up the execution: ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest --parallel ``` For debugging purposes, you can run the tests in a headed mode and pause the execution at the end of the failed test run: ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest --debug ``` ### Navigation The `visit()` method is used to navigate to a specific URL in your browser test. It provides various methods to interact with the page: ```php test('example', function () { $page = visit('/'); $page->assertSee('Welcome'); }); ``` ### Using Other Browsers By default, the `visit()` method uses Chrome as the browser. However, if you want to use a different browser, you can specify it using the `--browser` option when running the tests: ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest --browser firefox ./vendor/bin/pest --browser safari ``` If you wish to use a different browser by default without specifying it in the command line, you can set it in your `Pest.php` configuration file: ```php pest()->browser()->inFirefox(); pest()->browser()->inSafari(); ``` ### Using Other Devices The `visit()` method uses a desktop viewport. However, you can specify a mobile viewport using the `onMobile()` method. For example: ```php $page = visit('/')->on()->mobile(); ``` If you wish to use a specific device, you can use the `on()` method and chain it with the `macbook14`, `iPhone14Pro`, etc: ```php $page = visit('/')->on()->iPhone14Pro(); ``` ### Using Dark Mode Pest enforces a light color scheme by default. However, you can specify a dark color scheme using the `inDarkMode()` method: ```php $page = visit('/')->inDarkMode(); ``` ### Visiting Multiple Pages You can visit multiple pages simultaneously by passing an array of URLs to the `visit()` method. This is useful for testing scenarios where you need to interact with multiple pages at once: ```php $pages = visit(['/', '/about']); $pages->assertNoSmoke() ->assertNoAccessibilityIssues() ->assertNoConsoleLogs() ->assertNoJavaScriptErrors(); [$homePage, $aboutPage] = $pages; $homePage->assertSee('Welcome to our website'); $aboutPage->assertSee('About Us'); ``` ### Navigation After visiting a page, you can navigate to other pages using the `navigate()` method. This method allows you to navigate to a different URL while keeping the current browser context: ```php $page = visit('/'); $page->navigate('/about') ->assertSee('About Us'); ``` ### Locating Elements You can locate elements in the DOM using text or CSS selectors. Pest provides a simple syntax for locating elements: ```php // Clicks the first link with the text "Login" $page->click('Login'); // Clicks the first element with the class "btn-primary" $page->click('.btn-primary'); // Clicks the element with the data-test attribute "login" $page->click('@login'); // Clicks the element with the ID "submit-button" $page->click('#submit-button'); // etc... ``` ### Configuring Timeouts Sometimes, elements may take time to appear on the page. By default, Pest waits for `5` seconds before timing out. You can configure the default timeout for browser tests in your `Pest.php` configuration file: ```php pest()->browser()->timeout(10000); ``` ### Configuring User Agent By default, the User Agent will default to the Browser you're running for tests such as: `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/133.0.6943.16 Safari/537.36` You may wish to override the User Agent of the browser for all of your tests, you can configure this in the `Pest.php` configuration file: ```php pest()->browser()->userAgent('CustomUserAgent'); ``` ### Configuring Host By default, the server will bind to `127.0.0.1` for all browser tests. You may wish to override the host for subdomain applications. You can configure this in the `Pest.php` configuration file: ```php pest()->browser()->withHost('some-subdomain.localhost'); ``` ### Geolocation Sometimes, you need to define where the browser believes it is physically on the earth. This method takes a latitude and longitude and will set the `geolocation` permission in the browser and then make the coordinates available via Javascript's getCurrentPosition API: ```php $page = visit('/') ->geolocation(39.399872, -8.224454); ``` ### Configuring Locale You can set the locale for your test requests using the `withLocale` method. This is particularly useful for testing multilingual applications. ```php $page = visit('/')->withLocale('fr-FR'); $page->assertSee('Bienvenue'); ``` ### Configuring Timezone You can set the timezone for your test requests using the `withTimezone` method. This is useful for testing date and time displays in different time zones. ```php $page = visit('/')->withTimezone('America/New_York'); $page->assertSee('EST'); ``` ### Configuring UserAgent You can set the User-Agent header for your test requests using the `withUserAgent` method. This is useful for testing how your application responds to different types of clients, such as mobile browsers or bots. ```php $page = visit('/')->withUserAgent('Googlebot'); $page->assertSee('Welcome, bot!'); ``` ### Configuring Host You can set the host for your test server using the `withHost` method. This is useful for testing subdomains or where different hosts serve different content. ```php $page = visit('/dashboard')->withHost('some-subdomain.localhost'); $page->assertSee('Welcome to Some Subdomain'); ``` ## Table of Contents ### Available Assertions

Pest provides a convenient way to do this by using the `--debug` option, which makes pest to open the browser window and pause the execution of the test when it fails. You can then inspect the page and see what went wrong. ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest --debug ``` Optionally, you can also use the `debug()` method in your test. It will limit execution to this test (like using [`only()`](filtering-tests.md#only)), pause the execution and open the browser window: ```php $page->debug(); ``` You can also take a screenshot of the current page using the `screenshot()` method. This is useful for visual debugging: NOTE: If you don't pass the filename, it will use the test name as the filename. ```php $page->screenshot(); $page->screenshot(fullPage: true); $page->screenshot(filename: 'custom-name'); ``` You can also take a screenshot of a specific element using the `screenshotElement()` method: ```php $page->screenshotElement('#my-element'); ``` You can also use the `tinker()` method to open a Tinker session in the context of the current page. This allows you to interact with the page using PHP code: ```php $page->tinker(); ``` After you can run your tests with the `--headed` option to open the browser window: ```bash ./vendor/bin/pest --headed ``` If you wish to run the tests in a headed mode by default, you can set it in your `Pest.php` configuration file: ```php pest()->browser()->headed(); ``` ## Continuous Integration You may refer to Pest's [Continuous Integration](https://pestphp.com/docs/continuous-integration) documentation for more information on how to run your browser tests in a CI environment. However, if you are using GitHub Actions, you need to add the following steps to your workflow file: ```yaml - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 with: node-version: lts/* - name: Install dependencies run: npm ci - name: Install Playwright Browsers run: npx playwright install --with-deps ``` --- Now, let's dive into architectural testing and how it can benefit your development process. By performing architectural testing, you can evaluate the overall design of your application and identify potential flaws before they become significant issues: [Arch Testing](/docs/arch-testing)
