I just signed up for Laravel Envoyer since my Laravel application has grown a bit (1 Application Server, 2 Queue Worker Servers, a Logging Server, etc).
Locally, I develop in Laravel's homestead environment.
I plan to have a set of Staging servers and a set of Productions servers.
The idea is, I wanted to be able to push to all the servers (in a particular environment) at once, at the very least, run some important environmental tests on each box. This is because I need to ensure that certain .env variables exist and are set correctly.
However, from what I have read, it seems that tests are generally not run on your one's live servers. In fact, Envoyer by default does composer install --no-dev, which would exclude phpunit entirely.
Now, I could move phpunit out of the require-dev section of my composer.json and into the main dependency list, but I just wanted to confirm that there isn't a better approach or a preferred practice in this sort of multi-server deployment?
