Laravel Devenv Testing

Overrides Laravel's artisan test command to delegate to an external run-tests binary when APP_ENV is not testing. Falls back to the standard Collision-backed test runner when running in the testing environment.

Installation

Since this package is not published on Packagist, install it directly from its repository by adding a repositories entry to your Laravel project's composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/ts1997/laravel-devenv-testing"
    }
  ]
}

Then require the package:

composer require ts1997/laravel-devenv-testing:^1.0

The package auto-discovers its service provider via Laravel's package discovery.

Tagging a Release

Composer resolves versions from git tags. To publish a new release, create an annotated tag and push it:

git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "v1.0.0"
git push origin v1.0.0

Tags must follow semver and be prefixed with v (e.g. v1.0.0, v1.2.3). After pushing, Composer can resolve any constraint that matches, such as ^1.0 or 1.0.*.

How It Works

When you run php artisan test, the command checks the current application environment:

• Not testing — spawns an external run-tests process, forwarding all additional CLI arguments, and streams its output back to the console.
• testing — delegates to the standard NunoMaduro\Collision test runner as normal.

Usage

# Delegates to the `run-tests` binary (any env other than "testing")
php artisan test

# Runs via Collision's test runner (APP_ENV=testing)
APP_ENV=testing php artisan test

Testing

composer test
