ReflectionException in Container.php line 776: Class APPPATH\Http\Controllers\DashboardController does not exist

Question

I know that this error exist in many posts but I tried everything without any solution. After I changed the value model in the auth.php file, to the correct path of the user model, my controllers are not working. All of the controllers throwing the following issue but only the Auth controller is working fine. The error message that I'm getting is:

ReflectionException in Container.php line 776: Class APPPATH\Http\Controllers\DashboardController does not exist

I made composer dump-autoload but still the same. My controller is inside App\Http\Controllers\Administrator\Dashboard\DashboardController.php

namespace APPPATH\Http\Controllers;

    class DashboardController extends Controller {}

and inside my route i have this

get('/', array('as' => 'administrator.dashboard', 'uses' => 'DashboardController@index'));

get('/dashboard', array('as' => 'administrator.dashboard', 'uses' => 'DashboardController@index'));

get('/dashboard/index', array('as' => 'administrator.dashboard', 'uses' => 'DashboardController@index'));

Here is the composer of laravel 5

"autoload": { "classmap": [ "database" ], "psr-4": { "APPPATH\": "app/" } },

Does anyone knows why is not working? Thank you

Answer 1

Should be App, not APPPATH

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

Answer 2

For my case I was getting this error for some authentication issue. I get resolved the issue by following the simple 2 steps in L5.1 :

1. Put "league/oauth2-server": "4.1.*" on the require section of your composer.json file.
2. run 'composer update' command on terminal.

You can try also. Thanks

Answer 3

get('/', array('as' => 'administrator.dashboard', 'uses' => '\APPPATH\Http\DashboardController@index'));

It will try to get it from root namespaces

Answer 4

If your file exists in App\Http\Controllers\Administrator\Dashboard\DashboardController.php, then first your given namespace is incorrect and the second thing is in your routes.php you are sending it in DashboardController which assumes that it will present directly after the controllers directory. Try the below changes.

• In your DashboardController.php

  namespace APPPATH\Http\Controllers\Administrator\Dashboard;
  
  class DashboardController extends Controller {
  
  }
  

• In your routes.php, change your route as below

  get('/', array('as' => 'administrator.dashboard', 'uses' => 'Administrator\Dashboard\DashboardController@index'));
  

I hope this will work.
