Contextual binding doesn't appear to work in tinker

• Laravel Version: 8.60.0
• PHP Version: 7.4.23
• Database Driver & Version:

Description:

When using contextual binding on classes tinker does not provide the arguments correctly to the class.

Steps To Reproduce:

Repository: https://github.com/yamut/binding

Relevant files:
https://github.com/yamut/binding/blob/master/app/Services/FooService.php
https://github.com/yamut/binding/blob/master/app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
https://github.com/yamut/binding/blob/master/routes/web.php

Documentation:

Tinker:

Psy Shell v0.10.8 (PHP 7.4.23 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> app()->make(FooService::class)
[!] Aliasing 'FooService' to 'App\Services\FooService' for this Tinker session.
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException with message 'Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ <required> int $a ]] in class App\Services\FooService'

When loading index using php artisan serve the output is 1 as expected.

Edit:

Running the binding in tinker does cause this to work.

Psy Shell v0.10.8 (PHP 7.4.23 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> app()->when(FooService::class)->needs('$a')->give(1);
=> null
>>> app()->make(FooService::class)
[!] Aliasing 'FooService' to 'App\Services\FooService' for this Tinker session.
=> App\Services\FooService {#3454
     +a: 1,
   }

This made me question if AppServiceProvider is run in tinker, which it does appear to be.
Added $_SERVER['foo'] = 'bar'; to AppServiceProvider::register, and it is accessible from tinker.

>>> $_SERVER['foo']
=> "bar"

It's because of the aliasing. That indeed doesn't seem to be working. I can use it when I use the full namespace:

$ a tinker
Psy Shell v0.10.8 (PHP 8.0.9 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> app()->make(App\Services\FooService::class)
=> App\Services\FooService {#3431
     +a: 1,
   }
>>>

I looked into this a bit but have no idea why it doesn't work for the alias. Appreciating any help with figuring this out.

Hey Yamut. Since we only received one bug report for this I'm going to close this as we don't want to put in the work/time into this ourselves right now and we don't consider this a very priority issue. Should we receive more reports for this we can have a look. Otherwise we'd appreciate PR's. Thanks

Hi there, unfortunately I just hit the exact same issue - it's not a major blocker, but definitely annoying.

The fact that it works with the FQCN is very relieving though! Thanks for that.

Hi,

i have the same issue,

when doing app(MyClass::class) or even app(FQCNofMyClass::class),
the subclasses passed into the constructor of the main class are not the correct one,
they should be the one from the app()->bind() but it's not the case in tinker for some reason
