There are no commands defined in the “press” namespace

[skfahad]

I am creating my own laravel package. In that package I have to register a custom command which does nothing but print a text in the console.

By following this guide I have created my command file inside src\Console folder and registered this command in 'boot' method of my ServiceProivider.

I have installed my package into my laravel project through symlink and it is being shown in the vendor directory of my laravel project.

When I run php artisan in laravel project, my custom command doesn't appear in the command list. When I execute command as php artisan press:process I get the following error

There are no commands defined in the "press" namespace.

Code from laravel package

composer.json

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "fahad\\Press\\": "src/"
    }
}

ProcessCommand.php

<?php

namespace fahad\Press\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class ProcessCommand extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'press:process';

    protected $description = 'Updates blog post';

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->info('Hello');
    }
}

PressBaseServiceProvider.php

<?php

namespace fahad\Press;

use fahad\Press\Console\ProcessCommand;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class PressBaseServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerResources();

        if ($this->app->runningInConsole()) {
            $this->commands([
                ProcessCommand::class
            ]);
        }
    }
}

Since I'm using Laravel 8 I have even tried to put my command file into src\Console\Commands to match up with laravel directory structure but it didn't work.

Add the function registerCommand(), provides() and register() into PressBaseServiceProvider.php.

public function register()
{
       $this->registerCommand();
}

// Let's save the command in the application container.
protected function registerCommand()
{
     $this->app->singleton('command.press.process', function($app) {

         return new ProcessCommand();
     });
}

// Let's declare the alias of the command to the application through the service provider.
public function provides()
{
      return [
          'command.press.process'
      ];
}

Note that if you are creating an artisan command it must be saved in the application's container. Otherwise, the command will not work correctly.

I am still getting the same error

Although the PressBaseServiceProvider.php file is as follows?

<?php

namespace fahad\Press;

use fahad\Press\Console\ProcessCommand;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class PressBaseServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerResources();

        if ($this->app->runningInConsole()) {
            $this->commands([
                ProcessCommand::class
            ]);
        }
    }

    public function register()
    {
          $this->registerCommand();
    }

    // Let's save the command in the application container.
   protected function registerCommand()
   {
       $this->app->singleton('command.press.process', function($app) {

         return new ProcessCommand();
       });
   }

   // Let's declare the alias of the command to the application through the service provider.
   public function provides()
   {
        return [
            'command.press.process'
        ];
   }
}

Are you adding the service provider to the configuration file, right?

[skfahad]

"extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": [],
            "providers": [
                "fahad\\Press\\PressBaseServiceProvider"
            ]
        }
    },

I have added the above lines of code into my laravel project's composer.json file which is responsible for auto discovering my service provider

Would you try and update ProcessCommand.php like this?

<?php

namespace fahad\Press\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class ProcessCommand extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'press:process';

    protected $description = 'Updates blog post';

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->info('Hello');
    }
}

Actually I got the solution. It was a silly mistake, I added the extra part in app's composer instead of package's composer and that's why my service provider was never being called
