I've created a custom artisan-command in order to call a controller-function via commandline (without curl). Since there seems to be no way in Laravel 4 to directly call the function I'm dispatching a request like this:

public function fire()
{
	$request = Request::create('insert', 'GET', array());
	Route::dispatch($request)->getContent();
}

When I call the command via command-line it starts showing the HTML-content the controller-function would output:

php artisan myApp:customCommand
<h1>Insert into Database</h1>
<pre>

but then returns this error:

[PDOException] SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'appdatabase'

What can I do about it?
