PHP Artisan Tinker crashing from any command

Question

I haven't had this problem before, but my php artisan tinker crashes from issuing any command - and leaves no logs whatsoever on what is causing the crash.

project4 $ php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.9.9 (PHP 7.3.0 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> use \App\Jobs\testJob;
project4 $

or even the simplest command:

project4 $ php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.9.9 (PHP 7.3.0 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> print("Hello World!");
project4 $

I almost wonder if it isn't connecting to PHP correctly, but I can't find any logs anywhere. Laravel has no trace of the commands. I ran brew update, but no difference. For the record, all of my projects are affected. I can't tinker on any of my projects. Help!

I did recently upgrade to PHP 7.3.0, which is working fine in every other area. Hmm...

Or blow away `vendor` entirely, then `composer install` to restore it. — ceejayoz, Dec 14 '18 at 13:59
For clarity, `artisan` is a tool which comes with Laravel, and is not related to `composer`. — G.S., Dec 14 '18 at 23:49
Open your `artisan` file in your project root, it requires `/vendor/autoload.php`. These vendors are provided by `composer`. — pellul, Dec 17 '18 at 08:54

If you don't have the pcntl extension installed, try creating a config file at ~/.config/psysh/config.php if not already there:

<?php
return [
  'usePcntl' => false,
];

Work fo me on a fresh Mojave install! – Gabriele F. Feb 16 '19 at 10:21
This was completely and utterly my issue. Just upgraded to php 7.3 on mojave. Thanks! – Soulriser Mar 14 '19 at 22:04
I've hit the same issue and the fix worked with a Ubuntu docker container and php 7.4.16. Possibly I have some php extension missing. – Nigel Atkinson Apr 07 '21 at 06:42

This happens on Mojave when you upgrade/install PHP 7.3 using homebrew, (It's a problem with PsySh (used by Tinker) and Homebrew's PHP 7.3.0 build.)

Simple solution is, In your php.ini set

pcre.jit=0

If you don't know which ini file is used, you can run php --ini to find it,

# /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini
- ;pcre.jit=1
+ pcre.jit=0
