ERRORS!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Errors: 1.

Here is the test function

public function testLoginPage()
{
$this->browse(function (Browser $browser) {
$browser->visit('/login')
->assertSee(env('APP_NAME'));
});
}

Also the baniray can be launched manually

./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-linux
Starting ChromeDriver 77.0.3865.40 (f484704e052e0b556f8030b65b953dce96503217-refs/branch-heads/3865@{#442}) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.
```

Steps To Reproduce:

This is a clean install of dusk running on WSL Ubuntu 18.04.

What do I need to check ?
I'm trying to test Laravel Nova :)

The ChromeDriver is installed but the Chrome browser isn't. Did you install it?

[Gil-1]

Problem solved. Thanks @staudenmeir

I just feel dumb :p. Maybe a note could be added in the documentation.

[driesvints]

@Gil-1 there is:

By default, Dusk uses Google Chrome and a standalone ChromeDriver installation to run your browser tests.

I just ran into this problem again too after creating a new VirtualBox. I think the docs would benefit from mentioning sudo apt-get install chromium-browser. Thanks.

Thanks. It's working now...

Running sudo apt-get install chromium-browser on an fresh last version of Homestead gives me these errors:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

To fix it I had to run:
sudo apt-get update

and then re-run sudo apt-get install chromium-browser, this time without issues.

@ryancwalsh thanks!

[ryancwalsh]

@decadence Glad it helped :-)

one two terminal tabs:
First: php artisan serve
Second: php artisan dusk

Note:// Make sure you install Chrome and the driver by php artisan dusk:chrome-driver --detect.

happy coding
