Event not firing Laravel 5.0.* - php

Question

I am using Laravel 5.0.* and followed the following answer: login event handling in laravel 5 but I am still not able to see the event firing.
Anyone could help me with this:
This is how my Event Handler Class looks like:
<?php namespace App\Handlers\Events;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldBeQueued;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
class AuthLoginEventHandler {
/**
* Create the event handler.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Handle the event.
*
* #param User $user
* #param $remember
* #return void
*/
public function handle(User $user, $remember)
{
//
$user->login_counter = 1;
$user->save();
// $user->increment('login_counter');
Log::error('something wrong happened');
// dd("login fired and handled by class with User instance and remember variable");
}
}
And this is the EventServiceProvider:
<?php namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher as DispatcherContract;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
/**
* The event handler mappings for the application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $listen = [
'auth.login' => [
'App\Handlers\Events\AuthLoginEventHandler',
],
];
/**
* Register any other events for your application.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher $events
* #return void
*/
public function boot(DispatcherContract $events)
{
parent::boot($events);
//
}
}
Appreciate your help

I use Laravel 5.2. I spent hours trying to figure out why my listener is not responding not knowing that I misspelled the event class name in the $listen array. Basically, if you fire your event like event(new SameEventClass(...)) make sure it is the same name you used in $listen => ['SameEventClass' => ['SameListener']]
