About Laravel Dusk Screenrecordings
===================================

[](#about-laravel-dusk-screenrecordings)

Laravel Dusk Screenrecording is a package, that was created by and maintained by [Sander van Kasteel](http://github.com/sandervankasteel/)that enables you to do screenrecording of your Dusk tests.

<INSERT\_EXAMPLE>

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Warning: Currently only Chrome is supported

[](#warning-currently-only-chrome-is-supported)

> **Requires [PHP 7.4+](https://php.net/releases/)**
>
> **Requires Laravel 7 (or higher)**

1. First install the pacakge

```
composer require --dev sandervankasteel/laravel-dusk-screenrecordings

```

2. Publish the configuration

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

3. Modify your `tests/DuskTestcase.php` to have screen recordings work.

### Example implmentation

[](#example-implmentation)

```
    protected function driver()
    {
        $options = (new ChromeOptions)
            ->setExperimentalOption("prefs", [
                "download.default_directory" => $this->downloadDir
            ])
        ->addArguments(collect([
            '--window-size=1920,1080',
        ])->unless($this->hasHeadlessDisabled(), function ($items) {
            return $items->merge([
                '--disable-gpu',
                '--headless',
            ]);
        })->merge(
            $this->getChromeArgs()
        )->all());

        return RemoteWebDriver::create(
            $_ENV['DUSK_DRIVER_URL'] ?? 'http://localhost:9515',
            DesiredCapabilities::chrome()->setCapability(
                ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $options
            )
        );
    }
```

The most important parts are the

```
$this->getChromeArgs()
```

and the

```
->setExperimentalOption("prefs", [
                "download.default_directory" => $this->downloadDir
            ])
```

Firstly, we need to get a specific set of arguments, so that Chrome will allow us to record from an non-HTTPS source and automatically select the source from which to record from.

Lastly, we need to set `download.default_directory` to a known directory, so we know from which directory we need to move our recordings from.

4. Add the `WithScreenRecordings` to your `tests/DuskTestCase.php`, so we will actually record and store the recordings.

```
use Sandervankasteel\LaravelDuskScreenrecordings\WithScreenRecordings;

abstract class DuskTestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication,
        WithScreenRecordings;

    // Rest of your DuskTestCase
}
```

5. Run `php artisan dusk` to see it in action 🥳 🚀

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

This package works by loading a browser plugin, which in turns creates a new (pinned) tab in the browser, then it initializes the screenrecording and then executes the test as usual.

Once the tests are finished, based on the configuration it will 'download' the screenrecording from the tab created by the browser extension.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Add Firefox support
- Fix `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source` argument under Linux
- Ideal case scenario: enable window recording (instead of the full desktop).
