Recently we started using GitHub Actions to test all our packages. You can read more about our general setup in this blog post.
For most of the packages, this works great. However, some of our packages, such as Laravel Tags, use JSON functions that are not available in SQLite. Luckily it's straightforward to use a database like MySQL in GitHub Actions.
Have you every come across confusing if statements with complex conditionals such as this? I bet you did!
// please kill me 🤯
if (!(($this->shipping_country == "GB" || (strcmp($this-status, "Valid") !== 0)) {
To me, this is completely unreadable.
In the video below I show how I deal with this situation. Spoiler: add some tests around it and break the conditionals apart.

Last week, my colleague Ruben and I released a package called spatie/docker, that makes it easy to spin up docker containers and execute commands on them. In this blog post, I'd like to introduce what you can do with it and why we built this.
Last week our team launched Mailcoach, a self-hosted solution to send out email campaigns and newsletters. Rather than being the end, laughing something is the beginning of a journey. Users start encountering bugs and ask for features that weren't considered before.
One of those features requests we got, is the ability the set the guard to be used when checking if somebody is allowed to access the Mailcoach UI.
In this blog post, I'd like to show you how we implemented and tested this.

For many years we've relied on Travis to run the tests of our packages. For projects we used Circle CI. Recently we moved this responsibility from Travis and Circle CI to GitHub actions. In this blogpost I'd like to explain why and how we did this.
⚗️ One of the most common integrations developers struggle to test is Guzzle. Fortunately, it has a `MockHandler` you can set up to return predefined responses.

Since it uses the existing `Client` and `Response` objects, there's no need to change your implementation. pic.twitter.com/Ui2Zyqj2Lt

Mattias Geniar explains how you can use GitHub actions to run the testsuite of your Laravel app.
Last year we wrote a blogpost about our setup we use for Oh Dear! with Gitlab, and how we use their pipelines for running our CI tests. Since then, we've moved back to Github since they introduced their free private repositories. In this post I'll describe how we re-configured our CI environment using Github Actions.
