Laravel-modules: How to delete module

[echemik]

I made new module php artisan module:make sqlqueries
and then rm -rf Modules/sqlqueries

now every artisan command throws

[Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\FileNotFoundException] File does not exist at path /module.json

I clear cache but nothing. How to sucessfully delete module:)

[nWidart]

This is the only way to delete a module.

Are you sure there is no mention of it left somewhere ?

Some file is need module.json file from my deletem module. See this :

This response is consistent with cache beeing used.
What kind of cache system do you use?

[echemik]

array

[armababy]

Other than cache, as nWidart said, might be mention somewhere, try system-wide search for that module name (case-insensitive)

I had the same problem when deleting a module or making an error in the file module.json.

To solve it in my case for redis I had to do the following:

$ redis-cli
$ DEL key laravel:pingpong-modules
$ DEL key laravel:/**{absoluteModulePath}**/module.json

It seems that everything is produced by the cache generated by the package itself.

[nWidart]

Strange that a cache:clear didn't clear these keys though.

[armababy]

Yeah, I have dealt with this numerous times.
Artisan command will not execute since it loads application first and that in turns loads cache from redis, and when you execute cache:clear it will fail with an error since references to non-existing files.
Only way to fix is to wait for cache expires or manually clear cache keys.

I found the following sequence works...

1. module:disable
2. cache:clear
3. now delete module directory
4. cache:clear - just for good luck

[sotengboy]

Just remove all cache files at storage/framework/data/cache/data and artisan command work fine.
