Laravel “在生产中找不到类 \”App\\Models\\review\“

Question

In my Laravel app there are 3 Models: Movie, User, Review

Review :

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Review extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $hidden = ['user_id','movie_id','created_at','updated_at'];

    public function movie(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Movie::class);
    }

    public function user(){
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }
}

Movie :

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Movie extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $hidden = ['created_at','updated_at'];

    public function review(){
        return $this->hasMany(review::class);
    }

    public function getAvg()
    {
        return $this->review()->average('rating');
    }

    public function count()
    {
        return $this->review()->count();
    }

    public function getBestRating()
    {
        return $this->review()->max('rating');
    }

    public function getWorstRating()
    {
        return $this->review()->min('rating');
    }
}

User :

<?php

namespace App\Models;

// use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Contracts\JWTSubject;

class User extends Authenticatable implements JWTSubject
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;

    public function review()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Review::class);
    }
}

The query that doesn't work

$movies = Movie::has('review')->with('review.user')->get();

In localhost it works fine. but after deploying in digitalOcean it returns "Class "App\Models\review" not found"

I tried the console on digitalOcean:

> Movie::has('review')->get()
[!] Aliasing 'Movie' to 'App\Models\Movie' for this Tinker session.

 ERROR Class "App\Models\review" not found in vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Concerns/HasRelationships.php on line 775.

but after running this in the same session:

Review::all()

the previous Movie::has('review') works fine.

Why is that? Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Change this part of the movie model like this:

public function review(){
    return $this->hasMany(Review::class);
}

Note the uppercase R in Review .

Answer 2

In PHP, class names are case-sensitive, so review and Review are considered two different classes. Whilst it might be ignored in development, in production it will not.

You need to change this line:

return $this->hasMany(review::class);

to

return $this->hasMany(Review::class);

Answer 3

You are using different letter case. Class is defined as Review but you invoke review :

$this->hasMany(review::class);

Unlike variable names, neither class names nor function names are case sensitive in PHP:

class Example
{
    public static function test(): void
    {
        echo 'Hello, World!';
    }
}

// This works
eXaMpLe::TeSt();

// This doesn't: Warning: Undefined variable $FOO
$foo = 1;
echo $FOO;

Demo

However, Laravel is using a PSR-4 compliant class auto-loader to locate and read the PHP files where classes are defined. Such auto-loader maps class names to file names, so whenever App\Models\Review is used in code, a filesystem path like /your/project/libraries/path/App/Models/Review.php is loaded. If any of your path components, either a directory or the file name, was created using a different case, whether it'll work or not will depend on the case-sensitive flag in the file system. If your file system is something like NTFS (typical on Windows) it'll decide that review.php and Review.php are the same file, so it'll work. In most Linux filesystems, it's actually allowed to have two different review.php and Review.php files, so they need to be considered different.

It's also worth nothing that the ::class syntax is just a string feature and doesn't really trigger class autoloading:

// This is fine
echo Does\Not\Exist::class;

So you don't get the error right in the offending line, but later down the line when the class is eventually used.
