Class 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider' not found about laravel-ide-helper

[windbridges]

Hi, I found this thread by googling "Class 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class' not found". It was my real problem which I was unable to solve. I checked my composer.json file twice, it was ok, but error still occured. Right before uninstalling this package I decided to try to remove "::class" from provider definition in app.php. And it works!

Documentation says:

After updating composer, add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php
Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class,

And it didn't work for me. When I replaced it to

Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider

it works fine. And IDE recognizes all classes correctly now.
I hope it helps to somebody with similar problem.

my case had APP_ENV=prod instead of APP_ENV=production

[samhk222]

In my case was because the package was in require-dev and in my AppServiceProvider i had

if ($this->app->isLocal()) { $this->app->register(\Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class); }

And in composer.json i had

"post-update-cmd": [ "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postUpdate", "@php artisan ide-helper:generate", "@php artisan ide-helper:meta" ]

So when i run any deploy, the post-update-cmd was triggering, and raising a error

Class 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider' is used to enable PHPStorm to find classes. When you have “use \Request;” in your php file, PHPStorm cannot find the source file this refers to. Google/search Laravel Ide Helper in github and you will see how 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider' can be used.

Before you try to deploy your code, comment out 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider' in composer.json.

Hope this helps

Did you add it to composer.json and have you run composer update? Do you have a folder vendor/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper?

[sulfo]

Yes, I added "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*" into my composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "monolog/monolog": "1.2.*",
        "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*"
    }
}

I've not run the composer update yet. Here's the output from it:

Yes, I have a folder in the root of all my project with that location (where composer also have a vendor folder i guess).
Location: Sites/laravel/vendor/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

There is not any folders named it in my laravel project vendor folder:
Location: Sites/laravel/todo/vendor

Not sure if this is the problem or not.

[barryvdh]

I'm not 100% clear, is that you entire composer.json file? Where is the laravel/laravel line etc?

[sulfo]

It was my composer.json with in the same folder as composer.phar I posted. Not the one in my project. The one in the project looks like this:

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
        "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/database/seeds",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ]
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "php artisan key:generate"
        ]
    },
    "config": {
        "preferred-install": "dist"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "stable"
}

I found this, and it help me to update the project: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17564641/composer-phar-and-json-file-locations-symfony2

My problem was that I only updated the vendor folder with composer.phar (one folder out from the project root) and not the project. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17564641/composer-phar-and-json-file-locations-symfony2

Here is the new output from the update:

Thanks for getting me on the right track.

Did you put quotes around Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class? That would break it.

[windbridges]

Hmm, I didn't even thought that it may work without quotes, so I wrapped it without hesitation. Thank you for hint.

[pietdevries94]

::class is a Scope Resolution Operator. http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php It returns the class which returns the same string as the quoted part.

[windbridges]

Yes, I know about ::, but combination with class keyword confuses me.

[pneal-vital]

Well done, thanks guys
