Appended Accessor with Attribute results in BadMethodCallException

[TiiFuchs]

Ray Version 2.0.1 Laravel Version 9.9.0

I have a Eloquent model that uses the new Attribute syntax of Laravel to create an Accessor See here.

When I add an $appends property to my Eloquent Model so the newly created accessor also gets added to the json representation, ray crashes with a BadMethodCallException.

It tries to call getAttribute(), which does not exist, since I am using the version with Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute.

I think this might be a bug.

Could you share a small example app that demonstrates the problem? That will help us getting it fixed faster.

So I took another look this morning and I think I understand it now. It's more a laravel-ray issue and actually it's more like a user error than an actually issue. But I guess it could be fixed anyway. I'll let that for you to decide.

I created a test app and put it here: https://github.com/TiiFuchs/ray-test Running php artisan test throws this exception (no db needed for this): https://flareapp.io/share/17xj2kbm#F32

The problem is, that I used the camelCase version of the new Attribute like this: https://github.com/TiiFuchs/ray-test/blob/59ea5b550b6976375c24adddfe78b0a824fa9e81/app/Models/User.php#L49-L58

Ray expects this to be

  protected $appends = [
      'contact_line'
  ];

I didn't understand this at first, because Laravel seems to get along with the camelCase version just fine, but Ray didn't.

So the actual fix for the user is to just specify the attributes in $appends as snake_case. But if you think it's worth it, ray can become a little bit more robust.
