Laravel php artisan tinker throwing ErrorException

Question

If I run php artisan tinker on my console the output is:

[ErrorException]
in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given

And if I run php artisan tinker --verbose the output is:

Exception trace:

Extra:
My Laravel version is 5.1.24.
I've just installed Zizaco/entrust
Other than that, the app is almost blank

EDIT:

Here is the function guilty for the error inside ConfigPaths.php:

private static function getDirNames(array $baseDirs) {
    $dirs = array_map(function ($dir) {
        return strtr($dir, '\\', '/') . '/psysh';
    }, $baseDirs);

    // Add ~/.psysh
    if ($home = getenv('HOME')) {
        $dirs[] = strtr($home, '\\', '/') . '/.psysh';
    }

    // Add some Windows specific ones :)
    if (defined('PHP_WINDOWS_VERSION_MAJOR')) {
        if ($appData = getenv('APPDATA')) {
            // AppData gets preference
            array_unshift($dirs, strtr($appData, '\\', '/') . '/PsySH');
        }

        $dir = strtr(getenv('HOMEDRIVE') . '/' . getenv('HOMEPATH'), '\\', '/') . '/.psysh';
        if (!in_array($dirs, $dir)) {
            $dirs[] = $dir;
        }
    }

    return $dirs;
}

If someone has the same issue, here is how I solved it:

# add (array) before $dir
if (!in_array($dirs, (array)$dir)) {
    $dirs[] = $dir;
}

Thanks in advance!

have you tried composer dump-autoload or php artisan optimize? — Alex Kyriakidis
Yehp, they run and finish without response, the issue remains :( — Aramil Rey

Check the values on C:\wamp\www\store\vendor\psy\psysh\src\Psy\ConfigPaths.php it seems like there is something wrong with those values because when the script calls in_array function doesn't get the correct values
