“Target class [Modules\Admins\Controllers\AdminController] does not exist.”

I’m developing an e-commerce website using Laravel 8, And I tried to change on Laravel folders structure I’ve put views folder inside new path modules/admins which works fine, and I’ve also created a Models folder in the modules/admins path which works fine, however, I am having trouble with the controllers folder.

I still have the app/http/controllers/Controller.php, but now I’ve created a folder called Controllers inside the modules folder, and in it I have a controller called AdminController

error message: “Target class [ModulesAdminsControllersAdminController] does not exist.”

project structure enter image description here

AdminController file

namespace ModulesAdminsControllers;

use AppHttpControllersBaseController;
use AppHttpTraitsApiDesignTrait;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;
use IlluminateSupportFacades{
    Hash, Validator
};
class AdminController extends BaseController
{
    public function test()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

route.php

use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
use ModulesAdminsControllersAdminController;

Route::post('/test',  [AdminController::class, 'test']);

BaseController.php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use AppHttpControllersController;


class BaseController extends Controller
{

}

Controller.php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateFoundationAuthAccessAuthorizesRequests;
use IlluminateFoundationBusDispatchesJobs;
use IlluminateFoundationValidationValidatesRequests;
use IlluminateRoutingController as BaseController;

class Controller extends BaseController
{
    use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;
}

Answer

Because your defined namespace is outside of app, you should autoload it in your composer.json file.

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\": "app/",
        "Database\Factories\": "database/factories/",
        "Database\Seeders\": "database/seeders/",
        "Modules\": "Modules/"
    }
},

Then run composer dump-autoload and it should work fine.
