FatalErrorException in TodoListController.php

Yeah you're probably right, it's probably the version, because I can see in the video that Artisan didn't put all that namespace stuff in the controller file like it does now.

Wish I could help you further, but I haven't cracked open 5 yet myself. I'm betting re-doing the lesson in 4 would fix the problem, but if you don't want to do that (and I can't blame you), it'd take someone more experienced than me to conform it to whatever L5 does now.

Good luck!

Here goes the code if TodoListController.php:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class TodoListController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return View::make('todos.index');
    }

And this is the code from routes.php:

<?php

Route::get('/', 'TodoListController@index');
Route::get('/todos', 'TodoListController@index');

Route::get('/todos/{id}', function ($id)
{   
    return View::make('todos.show')->withId($id);
});

Still digging around a bit, as I did this course recently.

Some clues I'm following though:

I don't think this error you're getting is telling you that there's a problem with the path to the 'Views' directory, rather, it's saying that it can't find the 'View' class in the 'App \ Http \ Controllers \ ' namespace.

I'm looking at my code for this course, and I don't see anywhere the namespace declarations that you have at the head of your ToDoListController file:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

Nor does my class say it extends 'Controller', but instead extends \BaseController"

Where did all of that opening namespacing code come from? I don't see it in Hampton's code in the video, nor in his sample project files, and In my project, I simply have:

<?php

class TodoListController extends \BaseController {


    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return View::make('todos.index');
    }

// etc. etc. etc.

As an experiment, you might try replacing the beginning declarations in your TodoListController class from the beginning up to the first line of the class definition ( so that it begins like this:)

<?php

class TodoListController extends \BaseController {

// etc. etc. etc.

and see if it works?

I hope that makes a little sense...

That's a possibility. The course uses Laravel 4, are you using 5?
