What happened?

Reproduce

• I run php artisan scribe:generate -vvv (or php artisan scribe:generate --verbose)
• I see some warnings for my models like "Couldn't get example model App\Model[modelname] via factoryCreate
• I expected to see exception output (and stack trace) for each of these warnings, so I can debug the issue, but I only get the warning.

Explanation/analysis

The reason there is no exception output is that $completelySilent parameter for the function dumpExceptionIfVerbose is always set to true in the model factory exception handler:

scribe/src/Extracting/InstantiatesExampleModels.php

Line 56 in 3ab4ae7

e::dumpExceptionIfVerbose($e, true);

Possible fix

I would expect that the parameter $completelySilent should either be absent or false in the code mentioned above. When I go to the vendor/ source and change that line to false, I get the stacktrace and exception output as expected.

I can submit a PR for this, if you agree with my analysis.

Docs

• I've checked the docs, the troubleshooting guide, and existing issues, but I didn't find a solution

[shalvah]

Yeah, I think the reason for that was to limit noise, since model instantiation was not very customizable in the past. But you're correct, this shouldn't swallow exceptions. PR welcome 👍
