Steps To Reproduce

Everything working prior to 12.27.0 update (I was on 12.26.4 previously)

I have mysql selected in database.connections config, and mysql selected as default provider, changing to mariadb with same settings doesn't seem to change anything.

Did quick debug and while the config pull secion gets the full array as expected in "protected function configuration($name)" function, the next line that calls dynamicConnectionConfigurations or Arr::get returns null.

Reason I can see is the $name is not passed correctly - or is blank.

If I force it my changing to $config = Arr::get($connections, "mysql"); it works as before.

So issue is with the name not being passed to configuration function further up the chain.

The only package that changed with this update was the laravel/framework from 12.26.4 to 12.27.0

I checked adding few error_logs to show variables up to connection through to makeConnection, seems to call twice, first without name, second with.

First word here is the function name in the DatabaseManager class.

[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] connection: name: , database: , type:
[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] makeConnection:
[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] connection: name: , database: , type:
[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] connection: name: , database: , type:

My guess is before this point, the app["config"] has not loaded yet.
Works fine after here.

[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] getDefaultConnection: mysql
[03-Sep-2025 00:34:37 UTC] connection: name: mysql, database: mysql, type:

Turning caching on or cleared doesn't seem to make any difference.

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!
