Spent today converting a project from #phpunit to #Pestphp. Took a while to get set up with the Pest config file, but much prefer the readability and the built in parallel testing.

Haven't managed to get the `--dirty` option to work yet though.

Inside the Sail container I get no output. Outside the container I get an error saying git is required...

I wrote a little blurb about my new found fondness of testing in PHP. Previously, almost a decade ago, getting tests to work was a pain. Golang was such a breath of fresh air.

Today, in 2024, testing on PHP is good actually if you use Pest
