Using JavaScript to get the text of an element using Laravel Dusk

Question

I'm doing automated testing using Laravel Dusk, when I do this:

$test = $browser->script('$(".page-sidebar-menu").text();');
dd($test);

It returns array of null, but if run $(".page-sidebar-menu").text(); in a browser, it returns all text inside that class.

Where I go wrong in here? Please help if you know.

$test = $browser->script('return $(".page-sidebar-menu").text();'); dd($test);
