Instead of starting a project via symfony new <prj_name>, I used composer require symfony/console. I am unable to access any of the generate commands.
Am I going about this incorrectly? If I use composer require how do I automate the creation of the initial bin/console?
So in the existing project that I started using only composer require symfony/console and had to manually create the console.php file, I did the following:
Require the Sensio Bundle:
$ composer require sensio/generator-bundle
Then, in console.php, require the Sensio Bundle
.
.
.
use Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\Command\GenerateCommandCommand;
.
.
.
$console->add(new GenerateCommandCommand());
Now when I run the console.php file, the help text shows a link to that command.
$ php console.php
