I see there are a lot of questions on Stackoverflow like this, but they all seem to have different unrelated answers, so hear me out:
I'm updating an old Laravel app's file structure to that of the newest version (8.x)
and I am getting this error when I visit the the / route:
Error + Stack trace
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
Target [Illuminate\View\ViewFinderInterface] is not instantiable while building [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController, App\Lib\Services\Rendering\HomepageRenderer, Illuminate\View\Environment].
I'm not sure what this even means.
Here is the code for the HomeController:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Lib\Services\Mail\Mailer;
use App\Lib\Services\Validation\ContactValidator;
use App\Lib\Services\Rendering\HomepageRenderer;
use App;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Input;
use Redirect;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Validator instance.
*
* @var Lib\Services\Validation\ContactValidator
*/
private $validator;
/**
* Options instance.
*
* @var Lib\Services\Options\Options
*/
private $options;
/**
* Mailer instance.
*
* @var Lib\Services\Mail\Mailer;
*/
private $mailer;
public function __construct(ContactValidator $validator, Mailer $mailer, HomepageRenderer $renderer)
{
$this->mailer = $mailer;
$this->renderer = $renderer;
$this->validator = $validator;
$this->options = App::make('options');
$this->beforeFilter('logged', array('only' => array('createreview')));
}
/**
* Show homepage.
*
* @return View
*/
public function index()
{
return $this->renderer->render('Home.Home')->withCleantitle("Newest Reviews");
}
/**
* Show contact us page.
*
* @return View
*/
public function contact()
{
return View::make('Main.Contact');
}
public function createreview()
{
return View::make('Reviews.Create')->withCleantitle("Post Your Review");
}
/**
* Sends an email message from contact us form.
*
* @return View
*/
public function submitContact()
{
$input = Input::all();
if ( ! $this->validator->with($input)->passes())
{
return Redirect::back()->withErrors($this->validator->errors())->withInput($input);
}
$this->mailer->sendContactUs($input);
return Redirect::to('/')->withSuccess( trans('main.contact succes') );
}
}
What does the error mean and what can I do to resolve it?
Thanks.
