Laravel Dusk-运行测试并通过代码获取结果

Question

I need to make a tool to Browser test my production system. I have read up all about Laravel Dusk and it seems like a perfect tool. However, I need to run tests automatically via schedule and have a dashboard with the results.

I can easily run the command php artisan dusk from the code using the Scheduler, however, how can I get the results? Is there a better option than simply parsing the Console Output from that command? Ideally I would have a way of getting the status of each test (whether it passed or failed) to be able to log, process and display all that information.

The Dusk documentation hasn't got any more information on running the tests programatically, it only has instructions to run via php artisan dusk .

Has anyone encountered this?

Thank you!

The way I have achieved what I needed is to use the command options for dusk/phpunit.

I used --filter=MyTestClass to single out which test I wanted to run, and --log-junit log.log to log the results for that test, which I then parsed via code as well to fetch the results. This allowed me to build a fully custom dashboard that was able to run each test individually, report the results, send notifications etc.

Not the prettiest solution, but it worked well for what I needed. If anyone encounters better way to achieve that (or just use Dusk in general as a browser/scraper outside phpunit) please do post a comment/answer!
