Laravel 5.8. Target class [Controller] does not exist [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to create a view with four inputs which all enter that data into an sql database (using Laragon).

When I try click on the submit button I get an error saying "Target class [BikeController] does not exist."

Here is my controller:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class BikeController extends Controller { function add(Request $req) { print_r($req->input()); } }

Here is my routes

<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use \app\Http\Controllers\BikeController; Route::view('/add', 'addView'); Route::post('/add', 'BikeController@add'); Route::get('/', function (){ return view('bikesView'); }); Route::get('/delete', function (){ return view('deleteView'); }); Route::get('/edit', function (){ return view('editView'); });

Link to a pic of my file structure

Currently I'm just trying to print out the data input on the screen but will eventually link it to mysql.

Please share the directory structure. Your controller may have a different path than namespace — Arash Younesi

Share your actual code and also the blade, where you send your POST. — Hedayatullah Sarwary

On your controller, add this on the top use App\Http\Controllers\Controller: — STA

=> Open App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php and uncomment this line protected $namespace = 'App\\Http\\Controllers';

If you create a new Laravel 8 project,there is no namespace prefix being applied to your route groups that your routes are loaded into. This causes en error that says Target class does not exist.

Though there is a mention of a $namespace property to be set on your RouteServiceProvider in the Release notes and commented in your RouteServiceProvider this does not have any effect on your routes. It is currently only for adding a namespace prefix for generating URLs to actions. So you can set this variable, but it by itself won't add these namespace prefixes, you would still have to make sure you would be using this variable when adding the namespace to the route groups.

in your controller change this:

namespace App\Http\Controllers\BikeController;

to:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

in namespace you just mention the path to the file

First check your controller if there is any error solve it, then check your web.php, if there is not an error and after that run those artisan commands for clearing the cache.

Controller:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; class BikeController extends Controller { function add(Request $req) { print_r($req->input()); } }

web.php

<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; Route::view('/add', 'addView'); Route::post('/add', 'BikeController@add'); ?>

Run the below artisan command:

//---Remove Routes Cache php artisan route:clear; //---Flush the application cache php artisan cache:clear;

And if you want to regenerates the list of all your project classes run this composer command:

composer dump-autoload;

Please add some explanation to your answer such that others can learn from it. Why should clearing some caches help in this situation?
