Conditional subscription to listener in Laravel - php

Question

I have set up a listener by adding it in EventServiceProvider
protected $subscribe = [
MyListener::class
];
The listener (MyListener) has a subscribe function that subscribes to the events the listener wants to listen for - and it works fine.
Now, I'm trying to add a check to restrict which events should be listened to. Something like
public function subscribe($events)
{
$config = ConfigService::getUserConfig();
if ($config->shouldSubscribe) {
$events->listen(.....);
}
}
I'm having some issues after adding this logic however.
It seems that when running composer install it executes the subscribe method.
This causes an issue, because there is no active session when running composer install - so I'm met with a SQL error - it can't find which database to search for configuration in - followed by this error
Script #php artisan package:discover handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1
How can I conditionally subscribe to certain events in the listener?

It is not the exact response for your answer, but it should work in your case. You can detect if your code is running from console by using Application::runningInConsole() function.
Example:
public function subscribe($events)
{
// Running from cli script, abort ship!
if(app()->runningInConsole())
{
return;
}
$config = ConfigService::getUserConfig();
if ($config->shouldSubscribe) {
$events->listen(.....);
}
}
