Classes not loaded from custom skeleton

• Laravel Version: v9.2.0
• PHP Version: 8.0.16

Description:

I created a custom skeleton as I need some classes like App/Models/User to exist to run my tests.

I configured it as follows:

Inside TestCase.php

   /**
     * Get base path.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    protected function getBasePath()
    {
        return __DIR__ . '/.skeleton';
    }

Inside testbench.yaml

laravel: './tests/.skeleton'

The make commands now create everything in my custom skeleton, but the added App\Models\User isn't loaded during testing and throwing an error:
Target class [App\Models\User] does not exist.

And so you know, I am not hard depending on the user, I've got a config value for that:

<?php

return [
    'user' => \App\Models\User::class,
];

And it gets loaded and used through:

/** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model|\Brandlead\LaravelNovaPassportLogin\Contracts\PassportUserContract $user */
$user = App::make(PassportUserContract::class);

if (!$user instanceof Model) {
    throw new \LogicException(sprintf('%s must be an Eloquent model.', get_class($user)));
}

$user = $user::firstOrCreate(
    [
        'email' => $socialiteUser->getEmail()
    ],
    [
        'name' => $socialiteUser->getName(),
        'password' => Str::random(32),
    ]
);

Why do I need the user model? Simply because my package hooks into the login flow for Laravel Nova and needs to be able to create a user.

Steps To Reproduce:

The above code just point the base_path() directory, composer still handle all the autoloading parts.

I solved it by adding the skeletons app folder to the classload as follows:

"autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
        "[PACKAGE_NAME_SPACE}\\Tests\\": "tests/",
        "App\\": "tests/.skeleton/app/"
    },
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "tests/.skeleton/database"
    ]
},

Even the migrations from the skeleton work now
