How to set custom validation message in Laravel?

I want to show my own message instead of one provided by the framework, So I did the following but it is not making any difference and showing default messages.

$message = [];
    foreach($request->get('estimates') as $key => $val)
    {
        $rules['estimates.'.$key] = 'required|integer';
        $message['estimates.'.$key] = 'Incorrect value';
    }
    $rules['technical_information'] = 'required';
    $rules['project_risks'] = 'required';

    $this->validate($request, $rules,$message);

Laravel - Using allfiles gives back empty array

I've been using laravel for nearly all my projects and I've came across a problem when trying to list all files in a directory.

Here is my code below:

            $directory = ("upload/"."$username->username");

        $scanned_directory = storage::allfiles($directory);

So as you can see First line is the directory which is in Upload followed by the username of the account.

The second line is meant to scan this directory and list only files. Sadly it always gives me back an empty array. Using Scandir() here works... But it gives me folders which I'm not wanting.

So... Any tips? I checked the API and I really can't see what is wrong here :(

Laravel 5.1 doesn't allow you to pass in url params (is there configuration)

Consider the following test:

public function it_should_contain_a_list_of_investors_who_belong_to_one_or_more_investment() {
    $this->createInvestment();

    $investor = factory(User::class)->create([
        'role_id' => 4
    ]);

    $response = $this->actingAs($investor)
                     ->call('GET', 'api/v1/investors?include=investments');

    dd(json_decode($response->getContent()));
    $this->assertNotEmpty(json_decode($response->getContent()));
}

Now consider the following action this test is calling:

public function getAllInvestorsForCompany($slug)
{
    $users = $this->investorEntity->usersForCompany($slug);

    $resource = new Collection($users, new InvestorTransformer, 'investor');
    dd($_GET);
    if (isset($_GET['include'])) {
        $usersData = $this->manager->parseIncludes($_GET['include'])->createData($resource)->toArray();
    } else {
        $usersData = $this->manager->createData($resource)->toArray();
    }

    return response()->json($usersData);
}

Note the dd, the $_GET returns []

Lets do the same test in the browser:

array:1 [▼
  "include" => "investments.offering.company"
]

Ok so in the browser I get back investments.offering.company, because that is what I am passing in as the ?include= But in the test its like laravel ignores the ?include and moves on.

is this a default behaviour of laravel 5.1 tests and if so how do I shut it off?
