Laravel's Helpers doesn't works correctly in some contexts/classes

I have a question about use of Laravel's helpers (route helper in my case).

When calling a helper in controllers, it works fine. For example:

class PollController extends Controller {

    public function show(Request $request)
    {
        $route = route('polls.show'); 
        // returns 'http://application.app/polls/show'
        $data = [
            'user_token' => $request->get('token')
        ];

        return view('polls.form')->with($data);
    }

    public function save(Request $request)
    {
        dd($request->all());
    }
}

But, when calling the same helper in artisan tinker or in a command class. For example:

class Inspire extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'inspire';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Display an inspiring quote';

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $route = route('polls.show'); // **returns 'http://localhost/polls/show'**
        $this->comment(PHP_EOL.Inspiring::quote().PHP_EOL);
    }
}

It (second case) is not good for me. I tried to solve this by using constants for save the correct value and then use it on command class, but I had the same problem.

I wish solve this problem and I wish know why the behavior is different in these cases.

Thanks in advance.

The route() helper (as well as url() and a few bits of Laravel functionality) uses the domain name from the current HTTP request. Since Artisan commands don't have a HTTP request, Laravel falls back to the app.url configuration setting. Change it (or, by default, your .env APP_URL setting) from the default http://localhost to your site's URL.
