Laravel 5.7: target is not instantiable while building - php

Question

I know there are so many answer, but I cannot really solve this.
I did follow this answer (How to make a REST API first web application in Laravel) to create a Repository/Gateway Pattern on Laravel 5.7
I have also the "project" on github, if someone really kindly want test/clone/see : https://github.com/sineverba/domotic-panel/tree/development (development branch)
App\Interfaces\LanInterface
<?php
/**
* Interface for LAN models operation.
*/
namespace App\Interfaces;
interface LanInterface
{
public function getAll();
}
App\Providers\ServiceProvider
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
/**
* Solve the "Key too long" issue
*
* #see https://laravel-news.com/laravel-5-4-key-too-long-error
*/
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
$this->app->register(RepositoryServiceProvider::class);
}
}
App\Providers\RepositoryServiceProvider
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class RepositoryServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind(
'app\Interfaces\LanInterface', // Interface
'app\Repositories\LanRepository' // Eloquent
);
}
}
App\Gateways\LanGateway
<?php
/**
* The gateway talks with Repository
*/
namespace App\Gateways;
use App\Interfaces\LanInterface;
class LanGateway
{
protected $lan_interface;
public function __construct(LanInterface $lan_interface) {
$this->lan_interface = $lan_interface;
}
public function getAll()
{
return $this->lan_interface->getAll();
}
}
App\Repositories\LanRepository
<?php
/**
* Repository for LAN object.
* PRG paradigma, instead of "User"-like class Model
*/
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Interfaces\LanInterface;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class LanRepository extends Model implements LanInterface
{
protected $table = "lans";
public function getAll()
{
return 'bla';
}
}
I did add also App\Providers\RepositoryServiceProvider::class, in providers section of config\app.php
This is finally the controller (I know that it is not complete):
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Gateways\LanGateway;
class LanController extends Controller
{
private $lan_gateway;
/**
* Use the middleware
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(LanGateway $lan_gateway)
{
$this->middleware('auth');
$this->lan_gateway = $lan_gateway;
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
$this->lan_gateway->getAll();
return view('v110.pages.lan');
}
}
And the error that I get is
Target [App\Interfaces\LanInterface] is not instantiable while building [App\Http\Controllers\LanController, App\Gateways\LanGateway].
I did try:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan clear-compiled

Answer 1

I think #nakov might be right about it being case-sensitive. I don't believe PHP itself cares about upper/lowercase namespaces, but the composer autoloader and the Laravel container use key->value array keys, which do have case-sensitive keys, to bind and retrieve classes from the container.
To ensure the names always match, try using the special ::class constant instead, like this:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Repositories\LanRepository;
use App\Interfaces\LanInterface;
class RepositoryServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind(
LanInterface::class,
LanRepository::class
);
}
}

Answer 2

In my case i forgot to enlist the provider to confit/app.php that's why the error.

Answer 3

Clear the old boostrap/cache/compiled.php:
php artisan clear-compiled
Recreate boostrap/cache/compiled.php:
php artisan optimize
