Auto wiring a shared dependency

[Jan Tojnar]

I tried using ReflectionDelegate to achieve auto-wiring and it works mostly great. The issue occurs when I register some services as shared – then they won’t be autowired any more.

See the following simplified example:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

class Logger {
    public function __construct(string $name) { }
}

class Authentication {
    public function __construct(Logger $logger) { }
}

class AboutController {
    public function __construct(Authentication $authentication) { }
}

$container = new League\Container\Container();

// Register the reflection container as a delegate to enable auto wiring.
$container->delegate(new League\Container\ReflectionContainer(true));

$container
    ->add(Authentication::class)
    ->setShared()
;

$container
    ->add(Logger::class)
    ->addArgument('selfoss')
    ->setShared()
;

var_dump($container->get(AboutController::class));

Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Authentication::__construct(), 0 passed and exactly 1 expected in test.php:10

I could addArguments the dependencies explicitly but doing it for all of the shared services would be annoying.
