PHP Laravel - Class [controllername] Controller does not exist

Question

I am currently trying to develop a custom Laravel Package, but is having some issues with getting started.

This is my file structure:

-packages
  - oliverbusk
   -invoiceconverter
    -src
      -controllers 
         - InvoiceconverterController.php
      -resources
         - views
           - home.blade.php
      -routes
         - web.php
    - InvoiceConverterServiceProvider.php

So as you can see, I have my files inside the src/ folder.

First of all, this is my composer.json, inside my package folder:

"extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "providers": [
                "Oliverbusk\\Invoiceconverter\\InvoiceConverterServiceProvider"
            ]
        }
    }

I have then autoloaded this in my projects main composer.json file:

"require": {
  //....
  "oliverbusk/invoiceconverter": "dev-feature-package"
},
"autoload": {
        [...]
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/",
            "Oliverbusk\\Invoiceconverter\\": "packages/oliverbusk/invoiceconverter"
        }
},

This is my serviceprovider file:

namespace Oliverbusk\Invoiceconverter;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class InvoiceConverterServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        //Load our routes
        $this->loadRoutesFrom(__DIR__ . '/routes/web.php');

        //Load our views
        $this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__ . '/resources/views', 'invoiceconverter');
    }

    /**
     * Register services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
      //
    }
}

And my controller file, located in controllers/:

namespace Oliverbusk\Invoiceconverter\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class InvoiceconverterController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('invoiceconverter::home');
    }
}

Last, my routes/web.php file:

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Oliverbusk\InvoiceConverter\Controllers'], function () {
    Route::get('invoiceconverter', 'InvoiceconverterController@index');
});

Error :

Class Oliverbusk\InvoiceConverter\Controllers\InvoiceconverterController does not exist

Bonus info:

Composer dump autoload shows the following:

Discovered Package: oliverbusk/invoiceconverter

• I have already tried to clear the cache with php artisan:cache:clear.
• I have also tried composer update

Answer 1

The namespace in your route does not match the namespacing your have actually used.

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Oliverbusk\InvoiceConverter\Controllers'], function () {
    Route::get('invoiceconverter', 'InvoiceconverterController@index');
});

Change to

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Oliverbusk\Invoiceconverter\Controllers'], function () 
{
    Route::get('invoiceconverter', 'InvoiceconverterController@index');
});

And see if that helps.

I would also recommend you refactor all your code to be capitalised InvoiceConverter as they are two separate words.
