I would like a better explanation from people as to why the current code does not work. It should clearly work and works on my machine and for others as well. It's pretty straight forward code.

but it doesn't work for me as well in my machine
i don't know why the exact problem here
but if i change the line the problem will fix :\

@taylorotwell I tried my best to explain in my comment here why this is hard to test and how it seems to be working even though it is not. Perhaps the simplest way to see whether this is working correctly or not would be to add:

var_dump('bypassing framework');
die

after this block and:

var_dump('using framework');
die

after this block. Then you can run the down command using different options and see whether it is bypassing the framework when you expect it to.
