Anyone else think that #laravel needs something better for Acceptance Testing? Dusk seems a bit underpowered and Cypress gets quite complicated. It feels like to me we need something like PestPHP but for Acceptance Testing

Bit of a Dark Pattern I spotted today in Duolingo!

Duolingo doesn't tell you the price of its premium subscriptions until you finish the trial period, it doesn't even advertise its prices on the web.

Very strange and not something I've ever seen an app do

Quick Tip:

Laravel's HTTP client truncates thrown exceptions by default which can make it difficult to debug issues with the HTTP client requests.

✨Add this to your AppServiceProvider to get the full exception:

RequestException::dontTruncate();
