Change \View::share with $view->with.

Tnx Marwelln but that did not do it.

I investigated a bit more. Made a fresh install of Laravell 4.2. The only code I added now is:

// in: filters.php
App::before(function($request)
{
  View::composer('*', function($view) {   
    echo '-> ' . $view->getName() . '<br>';    
  });
});
App::after(function($request, $response)
{
  if($response instanceof Illuminate\Http\Response){        
    $originalContent = $response->getOriginalContent();    
    /** 
     * The line below makes the View::composer() run twice
     */
    $test = (string) $originalContent;  // ( Or $originalContent->render() ) 
  }
});

// and in: bootstrap.compiled.php in class View
public function __construct( .. )
{
    echo "in View::__construct($view)<br>";
    //~

Result:
