Controller Class Exists But Not Found [duplicate]

Question

For some reason, the target controller class is not found even though it already exists in the correct path.

Route

Route::post('/send', 'MailController@send');

My controller path is App->Http->Controllers

Here is my controller:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail; use App\Mail\SendMail; class MailController extends Controller{ function index() { ... } function send(Request $request) { ... } }

I have already tried composer dump-autoload. I was using laravel framework 8.0 so I have also tried to revert and use 7.24. Still, target class is not found.

change to Route::post('/send', [MailController::class, 'send']); — STA

Where are you defining that route? Does Route::post('/send', '\App\Http\Controllers\MailController@send') work any better? — apokryfos

In Laravel 8, $namespace property with a value of App\Http\Controllers is set to null by default, So need to define :

Change :

Route::post('/send', 'MailController@send');

to,

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController; Route::post('/send', [MailController::class, 'send']);

Or, Using string syntax :

Route::get('/users', 'App\Http\Controllers\MailController@send');
