Install Nova = --module no longer working

[Kaylakaze]

After installing Laravel Nova (v5), the make:model, make:migration, etc commands no longer accept the --module option. make:module still works so Modular does have commands registering, but the overrides for existing ones aren't working.

Edit: It looks like they're being overwritten in orchestra/canvas/src/Console

Edit2: I commented out the contents of orchestra/canvas/src/LaravelServiceProvider.php and the commands are back to working as expected. Clearly, this is not a sufficient answer since I can't be editing vendor files on deployment to other devs.

I also encounter this issue; however, it is related to setting up tests on my modules with Orchestral Canvas. Canvas gives us the benefit of having the test suites run within the module, separately from my application and helps ensure that if my package is published to composer, it can still be tested in isolation.

It seems that Modular and Orchestral Canvas intercept each other to some degree and cause conflicts. I'm assuming this is a sequencing issue between the two, where Canvas overwrites make commands similarly to modular.

I'd therefore assume this isn't just an issue with Nova but with other packages that might also utilise Orchestral Canvas.

@Kaylakaze I just had a mess around with this and found something which worked and might assist you.

If you add the following to your composer file:

    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": [
                "orchestra/canvas"
            ]
        }
    },

You should be able to prevent Canvas from loading its service providers, therefore preventing the issue you mentioned above. I just tried it out on my project and the --module option is back. Hope this helps!
