Eloquence does not work correctly when using Laravel Attributes

[hubertnnn]

Here is my use case: In database I have a keep_updated column. In my model I have following attribute:

    protected function keepUpdated(): Attribute
    {
        return Attribute::make(
            get: fn($value) => json_decode($value) ?? [],
            set: fn($value) => json_encode($value),
        );
    }

If my database contains two rows with values null and ["test"], then this gives me following output:

        $deployment = ProjectDeployment::find(121);
        dump($deployment->keepUpdated);
        dump($deployment->keep_updated);

        $deployment = ProjectDeployment::find(122);
        dump($deployment->keepUpdated);
        dump($deployment->keep_updated);

null // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:13

[] // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:14

null // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:17

array:1 [▼ // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:18
  0 => "test"
]

After switching to using a Cast class I get following (correct) result:

class AsArray implements CastsAttributes
{
    public function get($model, string $key, $value, array $attributes)
    {
        return json_decode($value) ?? [];
    }

    public function set($model, string $key, $value, array $attributes)
    {
        return json_encode($value);
    }
}

[] // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:13

[] // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:14

array:1 [▼ // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:17
  0 => "test"
]

array:1 [▼ // app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php:18
  0 => "test"
]

It seems that Eloquence does not work correctly with Laravel Attributes possibly because of the if (method_exists($this, $key)) { line that will detect the attribute as relationship and use wrong method.

I'll need to take a closer look into this one - haven't yet played with attributes.

@hubertnnn I think this is now fixed on v11, let me know.
