What have you tried to resolve the problem? Where are you stuck? Keep in mind that Laravel 8.75 is not the latest version, so maybe updating could already help? – Besmirch

Answer 1

i also had same problem, in my case nwidart/laravel-modules package upgraded to 8.3 version, i downgraded to 8.2 version and problem solved

Irita

I am also getting same issue on few application on laravel 8 since last 2 days and still it is not fixed. I also have nwidart/laravel-modules package and it is 8.2 and has not upgraded , I am using laravel 8.40. any one have idea about it ? – Tamper

remove composer.lock and vendor folder (maybe laravel-modules upgreaded in composer.lock file), and in composer.json fix laravel-modules to 8.2, "nwidart/laravel-modules": "8.2", – Irita

Downgrading to 8.2 worked for me as well. – Koger

Yes, replaced ^8.2 to 8.2 in composer.json file and ran composer update. Fixed the issue, thanks @Farhad! – Nutter

Answer 2

see here: https://docs.laravelmodules.com/v9/introduction

If you have an existing config file, and you get an error:

Target class [CommandMakeCommand] does not exist

Then the config file will need updating first import the commands class:

use Nwidart\Modules\Commands;

Next replace the commands array with:

'commands' => [
    Commands\CommandMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ComponentClassMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ComponentViewMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ControllerMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\DisableCommand::class,
    Commands\DumpCommand::class,
    Commands\EnableCommand::class,
    Commands\EventMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\JobMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ListenerMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\MailMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\MiddlewareMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\NotificationMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ProviderMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\RouteProviderMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\InstallCommand::class,
    Commands\ListCommand::class,
    Commands\ModuleDeleteCommand::class,
    Commands\ModuleMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\FactoryMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\PolicyMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\RequestMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\RuleMakeCommand::class,

    Commands\MigrateStatusCommand::class,
    Commands\MigrationMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\ModelMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\PublishCommand::class,
    Commands\PublishConfigurationCommand::class,
    Commands\PublishMigrationCommand::class,
    Commands\PublishTranslationCommand::class,

    Commands\ResourceMakeCommand::class,
    Commands\TestMakeCommand::class,

Please share more details. Nwidart does not sound like a namespace that all applications should have – Besmirch

change modules.php in your config folder – Outgoings

Please add all clarification to your answer by editing it. What exactly should be changed? – Besmirch

change your commands property in modules.php config file – Outgoings

Please add all clarification to your answer by editing it – Besmirch

Answer 3

Just add this line:

use Nwidart\Modules\Commands\CommandMakeCommand;

in first of config/modules.php file as a namespace

Above namespace will resolve only commandMakeCommand issue, but if you want to set all command namespace then you need to add the namespace at the top.

namespace Nwidart\Modules\Commands;

Answer 4

Hope this helps (backup your project first):

1. First remove nwidart/laravel-modules by running: composer remove nwidart/laravel-modules

2. Then remove config/modules.php by deleting it.

3. Reinstall nwidart/laravel-modules by running: composer require nwidart/laravel-modules

Answer 8

Found the solution.

Once you have written your seeder, you may need to regenerate Composer's autoloader using the dump-autoload command:

composer dump-autoload
