laravel dusk - Xvfb

First of all, google-chrome is requried to be installed in guest OS:

$ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable
Next thing is xvfb:

$ sudo apt-get install -y xvfb
Try to start ./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-linux --port=8888. If you have some errors about loading libraries (libnss3.so, libgconf-2.so.4), try this:

$ sudo apt-get install -y libnss3-dev libxi6 libgconf-2-4
When you see

$ ./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-linux --port=8888
Starting ChromeDriver 2.25.426924 (649f9b868f6783ec9de71c123212b908bf3b232e) on port 8888
Only local connections are allowed.
this means ChromeDriver can be started (so SupportsChrome trait should be able to start it too). You can stop this process for now (Ctrl+C).

Run

$ Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1280x960x24 &
in a separate terminal window.

Also you may want to add your dev domain in guest's /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 domain.dev.

And finally run

$ php artisan dusk

OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
I didn't try more complex tests for now, but assume they should work. The only thing I've noticed not working is a screenshot feature. I have blank white screen instead of actual browser window.

Edit: screenshots feature is working, just don't load Google Fonts.

# Once all this has run through, you need to fire up xvfb on your homestead box. If you’re planning to # do this on a regular basis, you’ll want to get this setup on boot, but for the sake of testing things out:
