I searched a lot and i know this issue may be duplicated but no solutions solved my problem!

How can i not registering dusk when environment is production?

i wrote this code in AppServiceProvider.php :

public function register()
{
    // Dusk, if env is appropriate
    if ($this->app->environment('local', 'testing')) {
        $this->app->register(DuskServiceProvider::class);
    }
}

but it seems not working. can anyone help?

EDITED : my composer.json file:

 "require-dev": {
    "filp/whoops": "~2.0",
    "fzaninotto/faker": "~1.4",
    "mockery/mockery": "1.*",
    "phpunit/phpunit": "^7.0.3",
    "symfony/css-selector": "4.0.*",
    "symfony/dom-crawler": "4.0.0",
    "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.4",
    "laravel/dusk": "^2.0"
  },

The Exception is :

In Laravel 5.5, packages are automatically discovered and loaded so you will probably need to tell it not to load dusk.

One way is to add this to your composer.json

"extra": {
    "laravel": {
        "dont-discover": [
            "laravel/dusk"
        ]
    }
},

Also, you can add it to your dev dependencies and when you deploy in production, use:

composer install --no-dev

In this way works but I cannot manage to test with Dusk on Travis CI. Because TravisCI install all the composer packages every time, so if dusk is in "dont-discover" it cannot find it. – Davide Casiraghi Mar 29 '19 at 15:23

Look, it does not work because it is configured to work on local and testing environment. I guess that you need to add 'production' (if your production is called 'production in your .env file environment:

AppServiceProvider

public function register()
{
    // Dusk, if env is appropriate
    if ($this->app->environment('local', 'testing', 'production')) {
        $this->app->register(DuskServiceProvider::class);
    }
}

When installing to production server I just needed to use the --no-dev flag

composer install --no-dev

Good luck!

If you're experiencing this problem while in a developing environment and accidentally landed here due to the title, you should check that your .env file is set up for development. It should contain the line

APP_ENV=local

Here is an example of how the .env file could look: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/.env.example

And here is the Laravel documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/configuration

Also, in composer.json, laravel/dusk should be listed under require-dev and not require.

Check whether file which named .env contained in the source folder and setup Database user name and password and other settings.

I had the same problem because I have set all the things but forgot to change the .env.example to .env
