How do I set laravel test to go to site name instead of localhost

Question

I am trying to write some tests for an application. I have the server set up on MAMP going to dev.myappnamehere.com.

When I run a test (based off of Laracasts Integrated) it fails because it is looking for the route

 http://localhost/p/profile

But what it needs to go to is

 http://dev.myappnamehere/p/profile

How can I change that so it does not default to looking for the localhost and instead goes to the correct path?

I attempted to change this in the test but got nowhere and I was unable to located an answer through googling.

 <?php

 use Laracasts\Integrated\Extensions\Laravel as IntegrationTest;
 use Laracests\TestDummy\Factory as TestDummy;

 class ExampleTest extends TestCase {

/**
 * A basic functional test example.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function testBasicExample()
{
    $this->visit('/')
    ->see('Login')
        ->type('example@example.com', 'email')
        ->type('password', 'password')
        ->press('Login')
        ->seePageIs('/p/profile');
  }

}

Hii,

For Laravel 5, In the tests directory there should be a file called TestCase.php. In that file is a property $baseUrl. Update the value to your desired url. For example change

protected $baseUrl = 'http://localhost';

to

protected $baseUrl = 'http://dev.myappnamehere';

Hope it works!!
