Target class [Admin\UserController] does not exist-CodePudding

I have separated my project routes into home.php that contains the client-side routes and admin.php that contains server-side routes.

So here is my RouteServiceProvider.php:

public function boot()
    {
        $this->configureRateLimiting();

        $this->routes(function () {
            Route::prefix('api')
                ->middleware('api')
                ->namespace($this->namespace)
                ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));

            Route::middleware('web')
                ->namespace($this->namespace)
                ->group(base_path('routes/web/home.php'));

            Route::middleware(['web', 'auth.admin'])
                ->namespace($this->namespace . '\Admin')
                ->prefix('admin')
                ->group(base_path('routes/web/admin.php'));
        });
    }

So as you see I have specified ->namespace($this->namespace . '\Admin') because of Admin Controllers that are placed in this directory:

App\Http\Controllers\Admin\...

Then in the admin.php, I added this route:

Route::resource('users', UserController::class);

But I get this error:

Target class [Admin\UserController] does not exist.

So what's going wrong here? How can I solve this issue and properly call the Controller from Admin?

CodePudding user response：

You might need to add a use statement to point out where your controller lies within the route file.

For example:

use App\Http\Controllers\Admin\UserController;

CodePudding user response：

The namespace changes are correct.

The problem is a missing using.

So to correct it, change in your route file:

use App\Http\Controllers\Admin\UserController; // <-- add this.

Route::resource('users', UserController::class);
