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.

  • You have told us nothing with your post. You need to provide code samples and specific outputs of errors. – Ne Ma Aug 02 '18 at 11:42
  • Its an error on the CLI which says Command "make:resource" is not defined. – Felix Aug 02 '18 at 11:56
  • Perform a `php artisan list`, which will prompt all the available artisan commands. Tell us (preferably written in your topic to inform folks) what you have around `make` commands. – Anwar Aug 02 '18 at 12:11
  • `php artisan list` gives me all the list of commands excluding the ones I stated in my question. – Felix Aug 02 '18 at 15:49
  • 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. – Felix Aug 07 '18 at 12:34

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.

    Yeah I actually upgraded 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`. – Felix Aug 07 '18 at 12:33

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:

update php to 7+

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+

update laravel to 5.5+

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 php@7.1

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
