An option shortcut cannot be empty. about laravel-modules

[dcblogdev]

for now for versions 7 & 8 the symfony update can be skipped by adding into composer.json

"conflict": {
    "symfony/console": "5.4.35"
  }

For version 8 set the version specifically

"nwidart/laravel-modules": "8.3"

[dcblogdev]

this stems from an internal change in symfony/symfony#53516 will get the branches updated, looking at v7+

[dcblogdev]

I've released 2 new versions please update:

V7 use https://github.com/nWidart/laravel-modules/releases/tag/7.4.0
v8 use https://github.com/nWidart/laravel-modules/releases/tag/8.6.0

[dcblogdev]

okay, I'll need to figure out how to do a release for 2 versions back. Every time I've tried to do a release manually its included the recent changes.

I was hoping Symfony was going to do an immediate release but looks like that's not going to happen for a few weeks.

Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump

@php artisan package:discover --ansi

An option shortcut cannot be empty.

Script @php artisan package:discover --ansi handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1

[dcblogdev]

waiting on symfony/symfony#53711 this should resolve the issue.

[jayminsilicon]

@dcblogdev Symfony PR is merged now however release will happen in upcoming days as 5.4.35. Ref : symfony/symfony#53711 (comment)
Meanwhile can we make release of last pr #1730 ?

Thanks

[dcblogdev]

@jayminsilicon do you know how to issue a release for versions 7 & 8, I haven't as yet ever had to do a release for past versions.

@dcblogdev is there any permanent solution for this.
I tried your above solution but it will not be help after deleting vendor file and composer.lock.
so is there permanent solution for this.

I have tried a solution.

1. Create a customTestMakeCommand and extend the TestMakeCommand.
2. Override the getOptions function

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Nwidart\Modules\Commands\TestMakeCommand as OriginalTestMakeCommand;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;

class CustomTestMakeCommand extends OriginalTestMakeCommand
{
    protected function getOptions()
    {
        return [
            ['feature', null, InputOption::VALUE_NONE, 'Create a feature test.'],
        ];
    }
}

3. Bind it in AppServiceProvider
   $this->app->bind(TestMakeCommand::class, CustomTestMakeCommand::class);

It worked locally for me. Now getting an issue on my deployment side. If that is fixed then it could be a temporary solution.
