Yeah, I’m running into this too. For instance when registering a user, I want to issue 3 commands:

1. Create the User
2. Send them the Activation email
3. Log them in

This fails to work:

$this->execute(
        RegisterUserCommand::class,
        null, # when null, it’s really Input::all()
        # Decorators
        [
            'Acme\Decorators\AssignIdAsUUID',
            'Acme\Decorators\SplitUserName',
            'Acme\Decorators\RemoveFullName',
            'Acme\Decorators\AssignUserLanguage',
            'Acme\Decorators\LookupUserGravatar',
        ]
);

$this->execute(SendActivationEmailCommand::class, Input::only('email'));

$this->execute(BypassLoginCommand::class, Input::only('email'));

The decorators continue to survive the execution in the CommandBus. They really should be reset with each call to $this->execute(). I tried passing an empty array and that did not work either.

I’m going to see if I can ferret out the issue directly, but I would love to hear from @JeffreyWay on this one.

humm the CommandBus should remove the decorator after excecute it. Another point to me is the result of decorators don't change the command object. I've expected the decorators to be transformers to. Am I missing something here?

I found a solution. There is a bit of code duplication between the ValidatorCommandBus and the DefaultCommandBus, but without stepping on @JeffreyWay’s toes there, I’ve got a solution. I will set up a Pull Request momentarily.
