Pest

LaraDumps adds ds() to Pest expectations and test responses.

Enable in tests

Dumps are off while tests run. Turn on Enabled in testing in the app's project settings, or set it in laradumps.yaml:

observers:
  enabled_in_testing: true

Expectations

Chain ds() in an expectation to dump its value. The dump is labeled Pest Expectation.

test('calculates the total', function () {
    expect(Order::total($items))
        ->ds()
        ->toBe(150);
});

Test responses

Chain ds() on a test response to dump its status, headers, data and exceptions. The dump is labeled Test Response.

test('shows the order', function () {
    livewire(ShowOrder::class)
        ->call('refresh')
        ->ds()
        ->assertSeeInOrder(['Order #1', 'Paid']);
});

Architecture test

Production code should not contain debug calls. Use Pest architecture testing to fail when they appear.

arch('does not use debug functions')
    ->expect(['ds', 'dsd', 'dsq', 'dd', 'ddd', 'dump', 'ray', 'die', 'var_dump', 'sleep', 'exit'])
    ->not->toBeUsed();
