In PHP-DI the has() function not working for definition in file

Question

Using a php definition file I have created this definition

return [
'auth' => \DI\object('MyProject\Users\Handlers\Permissions')->lazy()
];

But when I use the has() function to check if the definition exists i.e.

$container->has('auth'); //this returns FALSE

but the get() function manages to return the object.

$container->get('auth') //returns the referenced object

EDIT: The application is a bit complex so cant put all the code here but its meant to bypass an error Im getting when I implement the definitions this way

$containerBuilder->addDefinitions([
'auth' => \DI\object('MyProject\Users\Handlers\Permissions')->lazy()
]);

The error is:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'ContainerBuilder::addDefinitions() parameter must be a string or implement ChainableDefinitionSource, array given

Thanks for the quick response.

This is not normal indeed, are you sure the config is correctly loaded? Would you mind adding more code (either here or in a GitHub issue) so that I can take a look at it? — Matthieu Napoli, Jun 08 '16 at 13:49

Given your last edit it seems you are still using PHP-DI 4.

The ability to add arrays was added to version 5.0.0: https://github.com/PHP-DI/PHP-DI/issues/218

And as an addendum, the has() function returns a FALSE value if the definition cannot be fully resolved. For example from my example below:

$containerBuilder->addDefinitions([
'auth' => \DI\object('MyProject\Users\Handlers\Permissions')->lazy()
]);

If the class MyProject\Users\Handlers\Permissions is not fully resolved

$container->has('auth') //this will return a FALSE boolean value

Hope this helps someone
