Controller routing does not work in Laravel 4

I am trying to register my controllers in Laravel 4. In routes.php I have:

 Route::get("/"," HomeController@index "); Route::get("search"," SearchController@index ");

Now the main controller route is fine, but the search controller route gives me an error:

 ReflectionException: Class SearchController does not exist

However, the class does exist. I even tried to create another sample controller, but to no avail, since the same message appeared.

names are case sensitive in L4. And the method name should exactly match (e.g. getIndex, not index ()).

Also, since it uses composer packages, you will need to run: php composer dump-autoload to detect any new classes / controllers

I had the same problem and dump-autoload did not resolve it.

I realized that my class file was not declared in the vendor / composer / autoload_classmap.php file generated by Composer.

I cleared the contents of the cache folder. On Linux, this folder is: ~ / .composer / cache and on Windows 7: C: \ Users \\ AppData \ Local \ Composer \ files If bootstrap / compiled.php is present, it should also be deleted or run: php artisan clear-compiled .

After that, I deleted composer.lock and the vendor folder and ran: installer install. This placed my class file in the autoload_classmap.php file, however a ReflectionException was still thrown ...

As a last attempt, I copied and renamed another controller from an existing project, and this solved the problem.
