Can't make our own artisan commands??

Created 8 years ago by emergingdzns

I need to add my own artisan command. I tried using php artisan make:command mycommandname but I can’t get it to register in the system. I tried adding it to the protected $commands list in the Kernel.php file. I tried just adding the whole command to the routes/console.php file as well. But nothing I do seems to work. There’s one command in the the routes/console.php file called “inspire” but when I try to run it at command line it errors as does my own command. Any ideas? What's the special magic required to add our own commands?
