I am trying to create an API Resource in Laravel 5.4 and also 5.6 and by some reason when I create type the make:resource command, it says cannot be found. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. And the make:factory as well cannot be found
this is the command i run
Felix@DESKTOP-O26O7PO MINGW64 /c/wamp/www/larticles $ php artisan make:resource exampleresource
Command make:resource is not defined.
Seems that make:resource is not available in 5.4, also when changing laravel to new version, you should use composer update after changing the specified version to update your autoload scripts.
laravel 5.5 and php to version 7.1.16 because laravel >= 5.5 requires php >=7 to run and after that, I run composer update to update my settings and it worked perfectly after running php artisan list. I can now run the make:resource and make:factory.on Laravel 5.2> version we use factory in ModelFactory file for example
/** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factory $factory */
$factory->define(App\Article::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
static $password; //this is default created
return [ 'name' => $faker->name, 'email' => $faker->unique()->safeEmail, 'password' => $password ?: $password = bcrypt('secret'), 'remember_token' => str_random(10), ];
});
the second creatin in below
/** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factory $factory */
$factory->define(App\Model::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
return [ 'title' => $faker->text(50), 'body' => $faker->text(250) ];
});
I had tried to run php artisan make:factory ArticleFactory but it didn't work.
This is everything I had to do to resolve it:
0) Run php --version on CLI to determine what version your composer is running. If it's not 7+, then do following:
1) Uninstall composer
2) Install composer → select the path environment variable of 7+
1) Run php artisan --version to see which version you are on. Mine was at 5.4
2) Go to composer.json and edit the "laravel/framework" to "5.5.*"
Rerun command. Should work now
this is on a windows 10 PC so your results may vary.
I was having the same issue
turns out I was using an older version of laravel 2.x
# reinstall `laravel` using `composer`
composer global remove laravel/installer
composer global require "laravel/installer:^4.0"
this didn't work for me, because I had php 5.5 and laravel 4.0 requires php 7.x
# update `php` using `brew` brew upgrade php# or brew install [email protected]didn't work for me, because i was using an older unsupported mac
osx 10.11# download `php` with third-party support curl -s https://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1 # add `php` to path echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/php5/bin:${PATH}"' >> .bash_profile
# reinstall composer
rm /usr/local/bin/composer
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '756890a4488ce9024fc62c56153228907f1545c228516cbf63f885e036d37e9a59d27d63f46af1d4d07ee0f76181c7d3') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
# reinstall `laravel` with `composer`
composer global remove laravel/installer
composer global require "laravel/installer:^4.0" --ignore-platform-reqs
How to Uninstall Laravel?
Package laravel/ui at version has a PHP requirement incompatible with your PHP version (5.6.40)
Install PHP 7.3 for Mac WITHOUT HomeBrew
Remove composer
What I did was to upgrade to laravel 5.5 and php to version 7.1.16 because laravel >= 5.5 requires php >=7 to run and after that, I run composer update to update my settings and it worked perfectly after running php artisan list. I can now run the make:resource and make:factory. Thanks for the contributions.
php artisan list, which will prompt all the available artisan commands. Tell us (preferably written in your topic to inform folks) what you have aroundmakecommands.php artisan listgives me all the list of commands excluding the ones I stated in my question.
