Description

When i run Artisan::call('route:list')

from a controller I get an error saying Target class [web] does not exist. but if i capture the output with a BufferedOutput the contents of output is the expected value.

Looks like the command is trying resolve the 'web' middleware and that results in a BindingResolutionException.

Is this a bug or a usage error from my side?

Steps To Reproduce

class AdminController extends Controller
{
    function ApiTester()
    {
        Artisan::call('route:list');
        // This view will print the exception
        return view('admin.apitester');
    }
}

@esbenp are you trying this in the web route or API route?

This is in the web route but with sanctum like this (abbreviated)

Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->group(function() {
    Route::prefix('admin')->controller(AdminController::class)->group(function() {
        Route::get('/apitester', 'ApiTester');
    });

I'm not sure it makes sense to call this command in that way.

I'm not sure it makes sense to call this command in that way.

So i have a web page where i can experiment with the API that works and is a great timesaver, but I thought It would be nice to list out the defined API routes in the browser so I dont have to look that up. So for my app this makes perfect sense. I do capture the output and presetnt that in my api tester page and everything works, but this also generates the exception as a side effect. I PRESENTED THE MINIMAL EXAMPLES TO REPORDUCE the issue, not what I do exactly in my app.
