Fatal error exception 'Class not found'

What happens if you add this line to EloquentSettingRepository..

use Modules\Core\Repositories\Eloquent\EloquentCoreRepository;

I've already tried this, but these files are in the same namespace so it won't matter

Is it a new namespace? Can you check if composer picked it up in the autoload file? Or dump the autoload for shits and grins?

@rugavy I know, but we have to take every step to make sure.

Anyways, I've seen this also happen when there is an empty space or some misc character in one of the .php files before <?php or like @lancebutler2 mentioned, it's missing in composer

it's not a new namespace. I don't understand why EloquentSettingRepository is found but EloquentCoreRepository is not. they are in the same namespace and phpStorm didn't find any errors.

I did composer dump-autoload but the error is still there.

I will add the SettingServiceProvider:

<?php

namespace Modules\Core\Providers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\AliasLoader;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Modules\Core\Entities\Eloquent\Setting;
use Modules\Core\Facades\Settings as SettingsFacade;
use Modules\Core\Repositories\Eloquent\EloquentSettingRepository;
use Modules\Core\Repositories\SettingRepository;
use Modules\Core\Support\Settings;

class SettingServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    /**
     * Indicates if loading of the provider is deferred.
     *
     * @var bool
     */
    protected $defer = false;

    /**
     * Register the service provider.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->registerBindings();

        $this->app['settings'] = $this->app->share(function ($app) {
            return new Settings($app[SettingRepository::class]);
        });

        $loader = AliasLoader::getInstance();
        $loader->alias('Settings', SettingsFacade::class);
    }

    /**
     * Get the services provided by the provider.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function provides()
    {
        return [ ];
    }

    private function registerBindings()
    {
        $this->app->singleton(SettingRepository::class, function () {
            return new EloquentSettingRepository(new Setting());
        });

        $this->app->bind(
            \Modules\Core\Contracts\Setting::class,
            Settings::class
        );
    }
}

Is it possible that this error could be generated from here after all?

the error appears for every php artisan command as well

Check the class file names for any error. Case mismatch, spelling error if any ...

OMG I'm the stupidest man alive. my class file was named "EloquentCoreRespository". I lost 2 hours just to figure this out... so stupid :angry: Sorry for wasting your time :flushed:

I've had similar when not quite holding command when pressing s ;-)

Back in early 2000s, I used to write a lot of code in Perl/CGI and back then you had to put the path to Perl (was something like /usr/bin/perl) on the first line or something...

Anyways, I had this script that would not work no matter what I tried... finally after many hours I decided to re-write the whole thing (few hundred lines) but of course I kept the first line (the Perl path), no point to re-write the path...

Once I was done, it still did not work... finally I just gave up, left the computer angry, exhausted and disappointed..

The next day, I got back and the first thing I notice is that I had a typo in the path, I had written /usr/nin/perl ..... b and n are next to each other on the keyboard..

Long story short, be glad this experience only cost you 2 hours :) We've all been there, it's one of those lessons you have to learn the hard way.

For me it was wrongly specifying the path. I used backslashes instead of forward ones '/'.
