Running this command allows you to perform actions in the browser which will be translated into Pest tests. This process works by using the `npx playwirght codegen` command. You can use the Codegen toolbar to add assertions: [![Playwright Codegen toolbar (assertions)](art/playwright-codegen-toolbar.png)](art/playwright-codegen-toolbar.png) By default, a development server (`php artisan serve`) will be started, this can be disabled with the `--server=false` flag. After closing the browser you'll be prompted with a question if you want to expand an existing test file or create a new one, and to give your new test a name: [![Laravel Pest Recorder CLI output / questions](art/pest-recorder-cli-output.png)](art/pest-recorder-cli-output.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require tranquil-tools/laravel-pest-recorder --dev ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-pest-recorder-config" ``` The content of the published config can be viewed [here](./config/pest-recorder.php). Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` php artisan pest:record ``` or: ``` php artisan pest:record --env=testing --url=http://localhost:8001 --visit=/login --acting-as=user --server=true --migrate-fresh=false --seed=false --viewport-size=fullscreen ``` Available flags / options ------------------------- [](#available-flags--options) The environment variable, obliged when using --migrate-fresh=true ``` --env=testing ``` Provide a URL which will be opened in the browser as starting point for your tests. When omitted, your .env APP\_URL setting will be used. ``` --url=http://localhost:8001 ``` Open a specific URI path when the recording browser starts. The path is appended to the base URL. The initial navigation will automatically generate `$page = visit('/...');` in the test. ``` --visit=/login ``` Record and store Playwright browser auth state under a named key (e.g. `user`). The state is saved to `storage/app/tmp/auth/{name}.json` (configurable via `acting_as_storage_path` in the config). - **First run (no file yet):** you will be prompted to record a login sequence. A browser opens at `acting_as_login_path` (default `/login`); log in and close it — the browser storage state is saved. - **Subsequent runs (file exists):** the saved state is loaded automatically, so the browser starts pre-authenticated, and you can skip straight to recording the feature you want to test. - **Generated test:** `$this->actingAs(\App\Models\User::factory()->create());` is prepended to the `it()` block. Authentication during the actual test run is handled by Laravel's `actingAs()`, not by replaying browser login steps. ``` it('test name', function () { $this->actingAs(\App\Models\User::factory()->create()); $page = visit('/dashboard'); $page->assertSee('...'); }); ``` ``` --acting-as=user ``` Start a development server (php artisan serve) for the given environment, URL and port. ``` --server=true ``` Run `php artisan migrate:fresh` before starting the server? Specifying --env=... is mandatory. ``` --migrate-fresh=false ``` Seed the database after migrate:fresh? This option is only available when using `--migrate-fresh=true`. ``` --seed=false ``` Set the viewport dimensions, or use `fullscreen` (the default) to detect the primary screen resolution. Detected via `system_profiler` (macOS), `xdpyinfo`/`xrandr` (Linux), or PowerShell (Windows). Falls back to `1920,1080` if detection fails. Ignored when `--device` is set. ``` --viewport-size=fullscreen (default) --viewport-size=1280,720 ``` Emulate a specific device, including its viewport, user agent and touch settings. Overrides `--viewport-size`. Run `npx playwright codegen --help` for the full list of supported device names. ``` --device="iPhone 15" --device="Pixel 7" ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
