Route resource not working in Laravel 8.x

Question

I have a problem with the Route::resource() method in Laravel 8.x. The error it returns is:

Target class [Admin\App\Http\Controllers\Admin\ProfileController] does not exist.

Here is my code in routes/web.php:

Route::prefix('admin')->namespace('Admin')->group(static function() {

    Route::middleware('auth')->group(static function () {
        //...
        Route::resource('profile', ProfileController::class);
    });
});

I could not find where the problem is.

Solution 1

Finally, I found out the answer in laravel 8.x upgarade guide. I have texted the controller name with full namespace, instead of importing it.

Route::prefix('admin')->namespace('Admin')->group(static function() {

    Route::middleware('auth')->group(static function () {
        //...
        Route::resource('profile', '\App\Http\Controllers\Admin\ProfileController');
    });
});

Solution 2

Run following step for clear route cache

php artisan route:clear

Solution 3

Route::resource('invoice','\App\Http\Controllers\InvoiceController');

Solution 4

Make sure you followed the upgrade guide. There have been quite a few things that changed from v7 to v8.

To App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php add $namespace

class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * This namespace is applied to your controller routes.
     *
     * In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';
}

I also faced same issue with Laravel 7 latest version. See how I solved it:

First include this directory on the page
enter image description here use \App\Http\Controllers\Admin\ProfileController

Then call the full version of the route including the className like this

Route::resource('profile', '\App\Http\Controllers\Admin\ProfileController');

This will automatically create different routes for all methods defined in the ProfileController class. See an example in the image attached using TodoController.

Note that when this could works, the solution given in upgrade 8.x guide in routing section laravel.com/docs/8.x/upgrade#routing is set to null $namespace property in RouteServiceProvider like is suggested bellow stackoverflow.com/questions/63845754/…
