Binding with dependency injection not working. Target is not instantiable

Question

So this is probably an easy one but I've been going around for hours. The error message

Illuminate \ Container \ BindingResolutionException
Target [foo\repositories\OrderRepositoryInterface] is not instantiable.

My interface:

<?php  namespace foo\repositories;

interface OrderRepositoryInterface
{

 public function index(array $dateRange = null, $customerId = null);

}

The repository:

<?php  namespace foo\repositories;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Order;

class OrderRepository implements OrderRepositoryInterface
{


public function index(array $dateRange = null, $customerId = null)
{
    return 'HI';

}


}

my routes file:

App::bind('foo\repositories\OrderRepositoryInterface.php',
          'foo\repositories\OrderRepository.php');


Route::resource('orders', 'OrdersController');

and finally the controller:

<?php
use foo\repositories\OrderRepositoryInterface;

class OrdersController extends \BaseController
{

protected $order;

/**
 * @param OrderRepositoryInterface $order
 */
public function __construct(OrderRepositoryInterface $order)
{

    $this->order = $order;
}


public function index()
{
    $orders = $this->order->index();
    return $orders;
}

Try to remove the .php from both the interface and the repository when you bind them in App::bind — Paul Bele, Apr 26 '14 at 14:08
