<?php
    // add to the end of FactoryTest
    public function testSetterCallable()
    {
        $this->factory->setter['Aura\Di\FakeChildClass']['setFake'] = function () {
            return 'OOPS';
        };

        $object = $this->factory->newInstance('Aura\Di\FakeChildClass');
        $actual = $object->getFake();
        $this->assertInstanceOf('Closure', $actual);
    }

What I'm trying to do looks more like this:

$this->factory->setter['Aura\Di\FakeChildClass']['setFake'] = function () {
    return function (ClassName $class) use ($otherThing) { // Do stuff, return something };
};

That results in a NOTICE about the curried variable, $otherThing, being undefined.

/me nods

That's because $otherThing is out-of-scope; you would need to use() it in the outer closure, then you can use() it in the inner closure.

What's the end-result you're trying to achieve by passing the closure?

Out of scope. Geez. I'm really tired.

The closure is intended to be invoked during authentication. I get to customize the authentication validation while using a third party library to take care of all the DB access and such.

So, you should be able to pass that inner closure by itself to the setter, and the DI system will use that closure itself as the value for the setter. Then you can retain it as a property (or whatever) and invoke it inside the class later. Does that help?

Totally. I'll test after lunch. Probably just an overtired scope issue :-)

Get some rest man. :-)
