Call to undefined method Illuminate\\Routing\\Route::get()

Question

I have just installed Laravel 5.1, visited the home page of my app and i get the following error:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

1/1

FatalErrorException in routes.php line 16:

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Routing\Route::get()

in routes.php line 16

This is my routes.php file:

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/



Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Answer 1

This import is wrong:

use Illuminate\Routing\Route;

You actually don't have to import any class as Laravel registers a global alias Route.

If you want to import the right class, that would be:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Answer 2

comment this:

// use Symfony\Component\Routing\Route; 

use this:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; 

Answer 3

Laravel VERSION = '5.2.30' using zendserver enterprise

On C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\data\plugins\laravel\zray\ZRay.php from zend server, change line 193

From

if (get_class($route) != 'Illuminate\Routing\Route') {

To

if (get_class($route) != 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route') {
