vusys/laravel-runabout

Journey testing for Laravel: define the steps of a user journey once, and Runabout executes them in randomized-but-deterministic orders, checking your invariants after every step. It exists to catch the bugs that unit, feature, and browser tests all miss — the ones that only appear when real users do things in an order you never thought to test.

📚 Full documentation: vusys.github.io/laravel-runabout

final class PostLifecycleTest extends TestCase
{
    use RunsJourneys;

    public function test_post_lifecycle(): void
    {
        $this->journey(PostLifecycleJourney::class)->shuffles(25)->run();
    }
}

One journey definition becomes twenty-six executions: the declared order, then twenty-five seeded shuffles that respect your constraints. When a shuffle fails, the seed reproduces the exact trail — and Runabout shrinks it to the smallest reproduction before reporting it.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 11, 12, or 13

Installation

composer require --dev vusys/laravel-runabout

No service provider to register and nothing to publish — Runabout is a test-only trait you mix into a test case.

Quick start

Add the RunsJourneys trait to a test case, define a Journey, and run it. The Quick start guide walks through a complete example; the short version is:

use Vusys\Runabout\RunsJourneys;

final class PostLifecycleTest extends TestCase
{
    use RunsJourneys;

    public function test_post_lifecycle(): void
    {
        $this->journey(PostLifecycleJourney::class)->shuffles(25)->run();
    }
}
