Thanks for this - it helped me to get started.

I'm not sure the Chrome driver needs to be started though as Dusk comes with the SupportsChrome trait which does this for you.

I also found I needed to setup Chrome (alongside Chrome driver).

- name: Setup Chrome
run: |
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get -y install libgtk2.0-0
  sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
  sudo apt-get -y install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
  Xvfb -ac :0 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &

I can’t get this to work:
php artisan serve —host=api.example.test

any tips?
