Laravel Lang, redirects in Pest tests not working right. about lang

[andrey-helldar]

Did you only install the laravel-lang/lang package or something else?

Laravel now does not contain translation files by default and if they are not explicitly published using the php artisan lang:publish built-in command or using our installer, then I can assume that the mcamara/laravel-localization package cannot detect it.

In addition, I will say that the Laravel Lang project does not provide routing capabilities. We only translate messages. The programmatic solution for changing the URL is mcamara/laravel-localization, which we have nothing to do with.

Thanks or the quick response!

No, I followed the instructions here: https://laravel-lang.com/installation/

So I have these installed:
laravel-lang/common
mcamara/laravel-localization

In my Kernel.php I have the LocaleSessionRedirect:
'localeSessionRedirect' => \Mcamara\LaravelLocalization\Middleware\LocaleSessionRedirect::class,

And when I use my code in a web browser, everything is working great.

But now it seems like I should be talking to mcamara/laravel-localization!

If the Mcamara package really does not find localization files (if it does exactly that, which I cannot say), then try publishing them first by calling the console command php artisan lang:update

[greggh]

I call the lang:update in the update script section in composer.json. So that is happening. I think it's something about how that package handles routing when in tests, like everything doesnt get called. I am going to go look at it from that side now.

So, everything turned out to be even simpler: the mcamara/laravel-localization package determines the list of available localizations from its own configuration file.

The "Laravel Lang: Publisher" project has a list of available localizations, but it does not meet the requirements of mcamara/laravel-localization. We have an enum class, and they have an associative array.

Thus, you need to manually activate the desired localizations through the settings file.
