Answer 1

Type in the terminal

composer require laravel/browser-kit-testing --dev

Then use the downloaded files in your project

use Tests\CreatesApplication;
use Laravel\BrowserKitTesting\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

And don't forget to extend from BaseTestCase.

Sample code

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\CreatesApplication;
use Tests\TestCase;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
use Laravel\BrowserKitTesting\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

class UserTest extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication;
    public $baseUrl = 'http://localhost';
    /**
     * A basic test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testExample()
    {


        $this->visit('/home')
            ->seePageIs('/login');
        

    }
}

Answer 2

BrowserKit provides a backwards compatibility layer for Laravel 5.3 style "BrowserKit" testing on Laravel 5.4.

First, install this package:

composer require laravel/browser-kit-testing --dev

Next, modify your application's base TestCase class to extend Laravel\BrowserKitTesting\TestCase instead of Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase:

And your userTest.php should be something like

<?php

  namespace Tests;

  use Laravel\BrowserKitTesting\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

  abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
  {
      use CreatesApplication;

      public $baseUrl = 'http://localhost';

      //your codes here ...
 }
