How do you test code you don't understand? We deal with this when joining legacy projects, but I recently found a novel solution involving fuzz testing. Super useful! https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2024-05-31-how-do-you-test-code-you-dont-understand

It's best practice to always use the config helper in our application code, except for one place: Don't use the config helper in config files.

Here's an explanation as to why. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2024-05-27-dont-use-the-config-helper-in-a-config-file

jclermont,
@jclermont@phpc.social avatar

@sarah Perhaps, but in practice the global function calling the app container has never caused any problems for me. And you definitely could inject the config repository where needed, it's just not conventional Laravel. I prefer sticking with conventions.

Ever run into a timeout from a Composer script in CI? Test coverage reports are a super common example for me.

For folks who are using Pest for tests — what is the equivalent of using the RefreshDatabase and TestDatabase traits?

jclermont,
@jclermont@phpc.social avatar

@grmpyprogrammer I still use PHPUnit, but in Pest there's a uses global function for configuring the base test class and traits

Something like: uses(TestCase::class, RefreshDatabase::class)->in('Feature');

Laravel recently added a password validation rule to more easily enforce a maximum length. Why would you ever want to limit the length of a password? Here's an explanation how it actually improves security. https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2024-02-05-why-does-laravel-offer-a-max-password-length-validation-rule

jclermont,
@jclermont@phpc.social avatar

@heiglandreas That's a fair point, and the default max being discussed is 72 (due to bcrypt internals), so it would not violate the NIST recommendation.
