In Laravel, assert errors can be displayed by adding the following code to your application.


First, you need to make sure that the APP_DEBUG variable is set to true in your .env file. This will ensure that Laravel displays detailed error messages.


Next, you can use the assert method from Laravel's test case class to display assert errors. For example:

1
$this->assertTrue($user->isAdmin(), 'The user is not an admin.');


If the assertion fails, Laravel will display the custom error message 'The user is not an admin.' along with detailed information about the failure.


Additionally, you can also use Laravel's dd() function to display assert errors with more details. For example:

1
2
$response = $this->post('/user', $data);
dd($response->getContent());


This will display the content of the response when debugging your code.


Remember to remove or set APP_DEBUG to false in your production environment to avoid displaying detailed error messages to users.
