In Laravel 5.3.30 artisan command not working

Yes, I am in the app (aka project) directory. The artisan file is in the directory that I am in.

Next...if I run the following command I get output (a list of the available commands):

php artisan list

But if I run this command (purposefully leaving out a required argument), i don't get any error though i expect one:

php artisan make:command

Now my real issue is that I've been trying to develop something that will run be scheduled in app/Console/Kernel.php as a scheduled task, but I need to debug it. So I've been attempting to run it directly and have tried the following command (though I think the tests are useless since artisan seems to be unhappy in its configuration:

php artisan app/Http/Controllers/Cron@getInventory

result: no output

things i've tried

• there is nothing in storage/logs/laravel.log
• the command find -L ./ -name '*.php' -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 -P 4 php -l | grep "Errors parsing" uncovers no files that have syntax errors
• composer update
• composer install
• php artisan optimize

Please offer solutions that will (a) cause php artisan bad:command to complain which hopefully help me (b) validate whether php artisan app/Http/Controllers/Cron@getInventory is the right way to call the command line facing scheduled task controller containing the methods that will run in schedule:run.
