Class not found in call back function Laravel

Question

Hitting an error in Laravel ServiceProvider, class not found even though it exists, and it throws an error inside the call back function, (not before) and btw it works fine locally but I got this error when deploying to GCP, might be a difference in php version or something? however what could a solution be here ? my code:

<?php


namespace App\Services\Tableau;


use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Services\Tableau\TableauClient;

class TableauServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind(
            TableauClient::class,
            function () {
                return new TableauClient(
                    config('services.tableau.server_url'),

                );
            }
        );
    }
}

it throws error on this line

return new TableauClient(
                    config('services.tableau.server_url'),

                );

"Class 'App\Services\Tableau\TableauClient' not found"

what am I missing here ?

Answer 1

Register the Service Provider by adding the TableauServiceProvider class to config/app.php. Preferably, under Application Service Providers;

/*
         * Application Service Providers...
         */
        App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        // App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
        // Add your service provider here...

Also, check the namespace for Provider class. By convention, all providers live in the App\Providers namespace.

However, if you want to stick to the setup you have which I wouldn't recommend, then you can register your TableauServiceProvider like below:

App\Services\Tableau\TableauServiceProvider::class

as described above.

Hope this helps you out.
