Temporary Context Scope in Laravel 12.1

The Laravel team tagged v12.1.0—the first minor release of Laravel 12—which includes a context scope method, an Arr::partition() method, a getRawSql() method on query exception instances, and more.

#New Array Partition Method

Liam Duckett contributed the partition method to the Array helper, which allows using existing partition logic without having to reach for collections:

$numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Using collections
[$evens, $odds] = collect($numbers)->partition(fn(int $number) => $number % 2 === 0);

// Using the Arr::partition() method
[$evens, $odds] = Arr::partition($numbers, fn(int $number) => $number % 2 === 0);

This method partitions the array into two arrays using the provided callback.

#Added a getRawSql() Method to Query Exceptions

@erickcomp contributed a getRawSql() method to the QueryException class, which returns the raw SQL representation of the query with embedded bindings. You could use this to report any problematic query errors:

->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
    $exceptions->report(function (QueryException $e) {
        // ...
       MyErrorServiceFacade::report('Error executing SQL: ', $e->getRawSql());
    });
})

#Context Scope Method

Luke Kuzmish contributed a Context::scope() method that can include context for the duration of a function call and then restore the context to what it was before the call:

// Before
Context::add('event_id', $event->id);

try {
    $this->innerHandle($event);
} finally {
    Context::forget(['event_id', 'sns_message_id']);
}

// After
Context::scope(
    fn () => $this->innerHandle($event),
    ['event_id' => $event->id]
);

You can learn more about the Context::scope() method in the documentation.

#PendingCommand Class is Now Tappable

Kevin Bui added the Tappable trait to the testing PendingCommand class, which allows you to handle assertions all in one go:

$this->artisan('orders:refunding', ['--ids' => 1])
    ->expectsOutput('Start Refunding...')
    ->tap(function ($command) {
        // ...
        $command->expectsOutput('...');
    });

See Pull Request #54801 for the complete example.
