String instead of Attribute passed down in AttributeBag

[ghost]

I am trying to store an array of data as a meta attribute. This attribute gets stored as JSON with a meta_type of StdClass.

Now when I retrieve a model directly and retrieve the meta attribute like this Post::first()->options everything is working fine. Now comes the weird issue.

When I want to retrieve the model through a relationship and try to access the meta attribute like this Category::first()->posts()->first()->options I get the following exception.

Argument 1 passed to Sofa\Eloquence\Metable\AttributeBag::addInstance() must be an instance of Sofa\Eloquence\Metable\Attribute, string given, called in /home/vagrant/Code/homestead/vendor/sofa/eloquence/src/Metable/AttributeBag.php on line 66 and defined

When I dump the value that is passed down in Line 66 it is the value of the meta_value column instead of an Attribute instance.

What could cause this issue? I am trying to figure it out but can't really find anything.

I will take a look at this.

@DraperStudio please paste the data and your code. It seems odd that you get different results in this case.

The best would be calls from tinker, where you store the value, then get it with error.
