Laravel 5.3 Laravel\Passport\Client uses the wrong database connection when requesting a token

[MarkLL]

So I followed Taylors introduction to Passport on Laracasts and when I attempted to POST to the OAuth server /oauth/token URL with the newly acquired code I get a 'homestead.oauth_clients' doesn't exist' error.

In other words it's using the wrong database connection! I set this up using SQLite and even hard coded 'default' => 'sqlite' in config/database.php. (.env is also set correctly)

In the end I had to add protected $connection = 'sqlite'; to the Laravel\Passport\Client.php file to get it to work. Obviously this is not really a suitable fix. Just wondering where I might look to see where it determines the connection to use.

Here is the complete errorlog for reference:

I also have some issues

1. i want Passport running on different mysql connection, how can i configure this?
2. i want to use Mongo as the database, can i substitute the Repository to use my own custom Repository?

btw @taylorotwell
https://github.com/laravel/passport/blob/master/src/PassportServiceProvider.php#L209
you should use container when instantiating TokenRepository

 $this->app->make->(TokenRepository::class);

After further investigation I found this issue is directly related to DotEnv.

I added some code in the Builder class and could see that the database configuration being used was from the CLIENT and not the SERVER configuration.

I ran artisan config:cache and the problem went away!

Morale of the story is don not rely on DotEnv even in development environment!
