laravel : php artisan not working

Question

I know there is bunch of answer out there and none of them solved my problem. I am giving a try again in 2016 may be some one can help.

php artisan make:migration createxxxtable

don't show any error and it don't create the file

neither of these function output anything too.

php artisan list
php artisan help migrate

Its not new project. I had been working on this project earlier and it was working fine. Created bunch of migration.

I tried deleting everying inside vendor and do composer install and composer update still no luck.

I did tried command like dump-autoload , optimize , clear-compiled etc. too

Thanks

Ok found the solution. I don't know whats the reason. But it was because I was using url() helper in a custom config file i created in config folder. The config file and value of url and others works fine all across the website but it just break artisan command. I don't know why.

Removing that url() helper from my custom config file solved the problem.

Normally when this issue arises it's due to an error in your code. Check for these coporates

1. Could be a typo in your .env file
2. Could be a syntax error in your .env
3. Entering in wrong configuration(syntax error) in your config folder
