Laravel ER diagram generator getAllModelsFromEachDirectory()

When I try to follow the instruction here (https://github.com/beyondcode/laravel-er-diagram-generator) I get the following error.

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError : Argument 1 passed to BeyondCode\ErdGenerator\GenerateDiagramCommand::getAllModelsFromEachDirectory() must be of the type array, null given, called in vendor\beyondcode\laravel-er-diagram-generator\src\GenerateDiagramCommand.php on line 96

Confirm you are using the latest version 1.4.0 of the library — myckhel, Nov 10 '19 at 20:46
Try to stop the server. Run php artisan config: cache. And restart the artisan sever — myckhel, Nov 10 '19 at 20:50
If no solution yet. Try this php artisan vendor:publish --provider=BeyondCode\\ErdGenerator\\ErdGeneratorServiceProvider. Then repeat my second comment. — myckhel, Nov 10 '19 at 20:53

Posting for others that may encounter same issue.

Confirm you are using the latest version 1.4.0 of the library
Also if you're using php artisan serve try to stop the server. Run php artisan config:cache, and restart the artisan sever.

Note that the reason why you might need to run php artisan config:cache is because Laravel does cache the app's configurations. if you changed or added new configurations you might explicitly need to clear the configuration cache so that Laravel can cache the new configurations.
If no solution yet. Try this php artisan vendor:publish --provider=BeyondCode\\ErdGenerator\\ErdGeneratorServiceProvider. Then repeat step 2.
