You can read the article or not. The first part will be creating a quick and dirty web application with Laravel and then we will make a quick introduction to Dusk.
1. Two things you need to know before diving
1. The APP_URL The first thing to do is to change your APP_URL. In order to Dusk access your application and test it, you have to change your local development URL editing the .env file. By default, the APP_URL is http://localhost. If you are running your server in another port, for example 8000, change it to http://localhost:8000. If you keep http://localhost, Dusk will not be able to test your app.
In my example, the APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 in .env
2. The DB The second thing is to create a database named for instance db_laravel_people and change the .env by adding the correct databasename (db_laravel_people), username (root) and password (root).
Extract from the .env
APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
LOG_CHANNEL=stack
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db_laravel_people
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root
3. How to proceed
The best thing to do is follow the step by step in the post and just use the files in the repository into the repository as models.
