Laravel Service Provider Class Not Found

Question

I am using Laravel 5.4 I am creating a Service Provider just for testing. My goal is create an instance of my TestClass and make it say Hello World in a Test Controller. I have successfully registered my service provider, but when I try to instantiate my TestClass I get a Class not found error.

config/app.php

Test\Providers\MyTest\TestServiceProvider::class,

TestServiceProvider.php

namespace Test\Providers\MyTest;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Test\Services\TestClass;

class TestServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {

    }
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('Test\Services\TestClass', function ($app) {
          return new TestClass();
        });

    }
}

TestClass.php

namespace Test\Services;

class TestClass
{

    public function SayHi()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

TestController.php

...
use Test\Services\TestClass;
...

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function serviceProviderTest()
    {
        $words = 'words';
        $testClass = new TestClass();
        $words = $testClass->SayHi();

        return view('test.serviceProviderTest', array(
            'words' => $words
        ));
    }
    ...
}

This gives me the following error:

FatalThrowableError Class 'Test\Services\TestClass' not found

If I comment out

// $testClass = new TestClass();
// $words = $testClass->SayHi();

I get no errors and I see 'words' in my view as expected.

Why can't my TestClass be found?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure about what the error is, but you're not actually using the object registered in the service provider in your controller. You'd need to do `app(TestClass::class)` instead of `new TestClass()` — Phil Cross, May 31 '18 at 16:38
@PhilCross does `app(TestClass::class)` need to be in the service provider or controller? — user908759, May 31 '18 at 17:05
Controller. When you register classes in service providers, you're registering them with the `Container`. when you use the function `app()`, it's just a shortcut to grabbing things from inside the container. — Phil Cross, May 31 '18 at 21:31

Add the new base path into your composer.json:

"psr-4": {
     "App\\": "app/",
     "Test\\": "test/"
 },

Then run:

composer dump-autoload

That just bypasses the service provider. – user908759 May 31 '18 at 17:14
