Running an Artisan command outside of the console, why doesn't it work as expected?

Question

Laravel

When the command is called, it seems that the value of the --env option is not taken into account and instead of clearing the database for tests, it cleans the main database. Why is that?

Artisan::call('db:wipe', [
            '--database' => 'mysql_1', '--drop-views' => true, '--env' => 'testing'
        ]);

Answer 1

Because this option only works in the console .
