Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Carbon' not found

I added a validator to AppServiceProvider.php, as described in this article:

https://medium.com/@jagadeshanh/image-upload-and-validation-using-laravel-and-vuejs-
e71e0f094fbb

I added the "use" statements, but for some reason Carbon cannot be found. I also tried use
\Carbon\Carbon; instead, which didn't work either.

So... I'm out of ideas. What am I missing here?

In the Controller file

You're in the Controller namespace, so you're referencing carbon in a Controller without a use

Where have you placed the code?

The fact your in the Controller namespace says you've done something wrong

You have a folder vendor/nesbot/carbon?

And try

Copy Code
compose dump

@JackJones I placed it in app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php.

@Dry7 yes, the carbon folder exists.

I did, but it doesn't work. Before I created this thread, I already
tried composer dump-autoload

I believe it's use Carbon\Carbon; with no first slash

@ctwx It's looking in the Controller namespace, so where did you put the use in the file?

@Cronix nope, doesn't work either. I tried that first.

@JackJones below the namespace. See here: https://pastebin.com/TZE02RGx

That's why I tried it with a backslash before Carbon. That should right, shouldn't it?

This App\Http\Controllers in the errors is telling me this is nothing to do with the AppServiceprovider.

Look at the error stack and see which controller it is in.

Then put use Carbon\Carbon at the top

Edit: 2 minutes too late

I think you're a bit confused. You're not even using carbon in the AppServiceProvider. The problem is
somewhere else in your code that you are using Carbon. use Carbon\Carbon; is correct, btw. I use it
all over the place.

In laravel 5.5 laravel got pulled in as a dependency of the framework and should be use with
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;

surely not... that would be a major breaking change (not mentioned in release notes)

The error was not coming from the AppServiceProvider, it was in my Controller.

First, there was a missing use in the AppServiceProvider, then the next error was in my controller. But
I didn't realize it and thought it was there... :-/ Sorry...

I assume they meant Carbon, but yea, seems that way

Illuminate/Support/Carbon.php extends Carbon/Carbon and adds some json serialisation methods

Carbon/Carbon is still available as before
