When adding Drupal Console using Composer, we are finding that the list of commands is not complete. How can I resolve the issue?

Installation steps:

  1. change to root directory (/local/path/drupal-site)
  2. run composer require drupal/console:~1.0 --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
  3. run composer update drupal/console --with-dependencies

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Change to either Change to drupal-site/vendor/bin/ or drupal-site/vendor/drupal/console/bin directory
  2. run drupal generate:form
  3. error message below is returned.
  4. change to root directory (/local/path/drupal-site)
  5. run vendor/bin/drupal generate:form
  6. error message below is returned again.

[ERROR] Command "generate:form", is not a valid command name.

Versions:

  1. Drupal core v8.5.5
  2. Composer 1.6.3
  3. Drupal console 1.8.0

  • You’re probably running it outside a bootstrapped Drupal - the list of available commands is substantially shorter when you do that

  • @Clive how would we install it otherwise? The Drupal site was installed using Composer. Aug 23, 2018 at 19:30
  • You need to run the command inside the web folder, otherwise drupal console doesn't find the drupal installation

After spending hours on chasing this same issue, i quit and now use drush to create boilerplate stuff such as module, plugins etc. After you install drupal site via composer with --dev try the following.

./vendor/drush/drush/drush generate module-standard # other generate commands there as well

  • Yes, Drush has generators now.
