Laravel 5 Unable to detect application namespace

Question

I\'m new to Laravel 5 and trying to understand it bit by bit and at the moment I\'m really confused with error messages. MVC is new thing to me.

What I\'m trying to

Answer 1

laravel version: 5.8.3

[One more Reason]: default app path in composer.json is modified

the default setup looks like this

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

If its modified to say,

"psr-4": {
    "Core\\": "app/Core/"
 },

the make commands with artisan wont work, and a few other things

the reason is https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.3/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php#L296

app is static in the path, and here is the where the exception is thrown https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.3/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php#L1143

This default behavior can be modified in bootstrap/app.php

Here is my solution [reference: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/how-i-can-change-laravel-directory-structure?page=1]

Solution:

Core/Application.php

bootstap/app.php

$app = new \Core\Application(
    $_ENV['APP_BASE_PATH'] ?? dirname(__DIR__)
);
