Get the actual and expected value echoed out from PHPUNIT error

[crissi]

Sometimes it is hard do debug your testing errors since we are missing the actual and expected value from the PHPUNIT exception.

Tried to find a way to this, but kind of got stuck.

Hi, was on holiday last week.

Please provide example test & output that you got VS what you'd expect to see.

[crissi]

This code

    Route::get('play', function()
   {
        return redirect()->to('/verify/message');
   });

This test:

        fit('Test', function() {
            $this->laravel->get('/play')
                ->assertRedirectedTo('/gosomeWhere');
        });

Produce this exception:
