Better Dusk

Better Dusk is the most popular, cleanest, and fastest Laravel Dusk test runner for VS Code.

Run a test method:

• Place your cursor in/on the method you want to run
• Open the command menu: cmd+shift+p
• Select: Better Dusk: run

Run a test file:

• Open the command menu: cmd+shift+p
• Select: Better Dusk: run-file

Run the entire suite:

• Open the command menu: cmd+shift+p
• Select: Better Dusk: run suite

Run the previous test:

• Open the command menu: cmd+shift+p
• Select: Better Dusk: run previous

Features:

• Color output!
• Run individual methods by placing your cursor anywhere in/on the method
• Test failures are displayed in the "Problems" panel for quick access

Note: this plugin registers "tasks" to run dusk, not a command like other extensions. This makes it possible to leverage the problem output and color terminal.

Keybindings:

{
    "key": "alt+r",
    "command": "better-dusk.run"
},
{
    "key": "alt+f",
    "command": "better-dusk.run-file"
},
{
    "key": "alt+p",
    "command": "better-dusk.run-previous"
}

Config:

{
    "better-dusk.commandSuffix": null, // This string will be appended to the dusk command, it's a great place to add flags like '--stop-on-failure'
    "better-dusk.binary": null, // A custom dusk binary. Ex: 'dusk', 'php artisan dusk'
    "better-dusk.suiteSuffix": null // Specify options to appended only to the 'run suite' command, for example add options like '--testsuite unit' or '--coverage --coverage-xml'.
}

Running tests over ssh (For VMs like Laravel Homestead):

{
    "better-dusk.ssh.enable": true,
    "better-dusk.ssh.paths": {
        "/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
    },
    "better-dusk.ssh.user": "user",
    "better-dusk.ssh.host": "host",
    "better-dusk.ssh.port": "22",
    "better-dusk.ssh.binary": "putty -ssh"
}

Running tests in already running Docker containers:

{
    "better-dusk.docker.enable": true,
    "better-dusk.docker.command": "docker exec container-name",
    "better-dusk.docker.paths": {
        "/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
    },
}

Running tests with Docker Compose, starting up a service and removing the container when finished:

{
    "better-dusk.docker.enable": true,
    "better-dusk.docker.command": "docker-compose run --rm service-name",
    "better-dusk.docker.paths": {
        "/your/local/path": "/your/remote/path"
    },
}

Running tests with Laravel Sail:

{
    "better-dusk.docker.enable": true,
    "better-dusk.docker.command": "docker compose exec -u sail laravel.test",
    "better-dusk.docker.paths": {
        "/your/local/path": "/var/www/html"
    },
    "better-dusk.binary": "php artisan dusk",
}

Note: For running Docker over a SSH session just use both options ssh.enable and docker.enable combined.

Wish List:

• Handling PHP fatal and parser errors
• A sidebar panel for managing errors
• Re-run failures
