Laravel getting error: Target class [App\Http\Controllers\GurbaniReadingController::class] does not exist. But file already exists!!

Hello Guys,

Facing this issue and struggling to find the cause?, okay then lets direct jump in to the fix I found or more precisely mistake I found!

In picture you might seeing controller name is different than I have mentioned below; I am changed it to Book, so don’t get confuse.

In my case I was wrapped the loading on controller in web.php route with single quotes!

Line of code causing this error:

Route::get('/book-readings/upload-photos', ['App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class', 'uploadPhotos']);

Very carefully watch in above code code was wrapped in quotes: ‘App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class’,
Controller should be loaded without single quotes;

And second important reason is it, this line should shall fall before the resource route if you have similar to this controller, in my case it was :

Route::resource('/book-readings', App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class); 
// this line was defined before the above route I wanted to work! (I am not sure why this line causing to stop showing the page :/)

Finally I make these changes so everything started working smoothly & all routes loading fine and up!.

// Upload Audio Files:
Route::get('/book-readings/upload-photos', [App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class, 'showPhotos'])->name('book-readings.upload-photos');
Route::post('/book-readings/upload-photos', [App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class, 'uploadPhotos']);
Route::delete('/book-readings/upload-photos/{id}', [App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class, 'destroyPhoto']);

Route::resource('/book-readings', App\Http\Controllers\BookReadingController::class);

Hope this will give you a hint to point the issue you might come up like this mostly when we are new and learning and developing new things!

Happy Learnings
