Name Queued Closures in Laravel 12.13

The Laravel team released v12.13.0, which includes naming queued closures, a new assertRedirectBack() test assertion, callback support for Collection's containsOneItem() method, and more:

#New assertRedirectBack Test Assertion

Ryan Chandler contributed a new assertRedirectBack() method that has been added to Laravel's test suite, making it easier to assert redirection to the intended “back” URL:

$response->assertRedirectBack();

This assertion adds clarity when testing flows involving redirect()->back(), and helps simplify test expectations around browser-like behavior.

See Pull Request #55635 for details.

#Naming Queued Closures

Will Rowe contributed the ability to assign a name to queued Closure, making identifying and managing jobs in your queues and monitoring tools easier.

dispatch(function () {
    // ...
})->name('custom name');

See Pull Request #55634 for details.

#Callback Support in containsOneItem

Fernando Garcia contributed the ability to pass a Closure to the Collection containsOneItem() method. Passing a Closure allows custom logic to determine whether exactly one item in the collection satisfies the condition:

$collection = collect([1, 2, 3]);
 
$collection->containsOneItem(fn($item) => $item === 2); // true
$collection->containsOneItem(fn($item) => $item > 1);   // false (2 and 3 match)

See Pull Request #55622 for details.
