Testing inside Laravel Dusk

[divix1988]

I am running Dusk automation tests and none of this seem to work:

   public function createApplication(): Application
    {
        ...
        $app['validator']->extend('captcha', function() {
            fwrite(STDOUT, print_r("Bypassing captcha validation and returning explicit true!\n", TRUE));
            return true;
        });

        CaptchaFacade::shouldReceive('verify')->andReturn(true);
        CaptchaFacade::shouldReceive('display')
            ->andReturn('<input type="hidden" name="g-recaptcha-response" value="1" />');

        return $app;
    }

The error message is Failed to validate the captcha. How to sort it?

What method do you use to display captcha in the template? by the way can you reproduce it with a sample repo?

@thinhbuzz I use a simple usage of: {!! app('captcha')->display() !!} to display captcha. Dusk is an automative test so it can be repped with any code, it's not related to environment.

I found this "partial" solution:

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(): void
    {
        if (isset($_SERVER['DB_HOST_DUSK']) && $_SERVER['DB_HOST_DUSK'] === 'localhost') {
            $this->app['validator']->extend('captcha', function() {
                _log("Bypassing captcha validation for Dusk automation tests!");
                return true;
            });
        }
    }

The above works but it required injecting test specific code into app codebase, which I am not a big fan. It would be great if plugin would detect some kind of ENV flag, which Dusk has and can define inside: .env.dusk to bypass captcha checking. That's what I've done above.

Sorry for the late reply. Can you create a sample repository of the problem
