PHPUnit and faker feature test escapesΒΆ

If generating data with faker, while looking for person names, sometimes the tests may break because they contain a name that has an apostrophe in it '.

Since the laravel's {{ $user->name}} escapes the name, but the tests do not, we need to escape them in the tests too.

That can be done by using 

$response->assertSee( htmlspecialchars( $user->getFullName(), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8', false);
