[SUGGESTION] Add ability to combine re() with code following it about tinx HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @mfn,

To clarify, you'd like the ability to run a block of code automatically after re()loading?

So in the example you provided, $u->count(); would run after reloading the tinker session?

Yep!

Right, okay. No promises, but leave it with me! 😊

😄 No worries, just a suggestion!

99% I use unit tests but there are cases where I need to actually run the code.

Soon after getting bored with tinker and having to exit the shell, I found tinx 👍 but after some sessions I realized: I still have to press too much keystrokes :D

Hi @mfn,

I've spent a ton of time looking into this (diving deep into Laravel Tinker and the underlying PsySH) and can't find a way to implement the functionality you're after.

Hopefully someone smarter than I will read this, crack the issue, and submit a PR in the future.

Until then, sorry about the extra keystrokes!

Hi @mfn (again),

It's not ideal, but are you aware you can pass includes to Tinx (and by extension, Tinker)?

For example, if you had a php file in your project containing the code you want to run on re()…

<?php

// 'path\to\your\include.php'

dump($u->count());

…you could pass that file to Tinx on boot…

php artisan tinx path\to\your\include.php

…or even set it to always include via your Tinx config…

// 'config/tinx.php'

return [

    // etc…

    /**
     * Include these file(s) before starting tinker.
     * */
    'include' => [
        'path\to\your\include.php',
    ],

    // etc…

];

…and then on subsequent boots/reboots your include would run, saving those extra keystrokes!

Maybe that's better than nothing?

🤷‍♂️
