Issue with passing sessions in testing environment

carvefx commented 10 years ago

I'll start by saying that this is most likely not a laracasts/Validation error, but since the entire setup is exactly what @JeffreyWay suggested in the README it's probably the best place to ask for help.

So here's the issue:

I've got a FormValidator setup and the exception is caught in the error handler under global.php, which does

return Redirect::back()->withInput()->withErrors($e->getErrors); //etc

Everything works just fine when using this pattern in the production environment.

However, I'm storyBDD-ing it with Behat, which triggers the testing environment via the URL (i.e. my-project.testing vs my-project.dev)

The problem is, the errors do not appear in the view after the redirect, if I dd() in the error handling closure, I can see that the validator returns the expected errors, however they never get passed to the view.

Worth mentioning the fact that my session driver for the testing environment is set to native, and I've tried cookies as well, so I think it's rather an issue with Redirect + flashing session data happening in this particular situation.

I have a temporary work-around, with the try..catch working in the controller, but I'd like to go back to using global error handling rather then the ugly try catch version.

I have this same issue, but it works in my local environment and does NOT work in my production environment.

Were you able to find a fix for this or did you just stick with your temporary work-around?
