Laravel BaseController already in use

Question

I've got this in my routes file:

$api = app('Dingo\Api\Routing\Router');

$api->version('v1',function($api)
{
    $api->group(['prefix' => 'v1'],function($api)
    {
        $api->post('login','App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController@authenticate');
    });

    $api->group(['prefix' => 'v1', 'middleware' => 'jwt.auth'], function($api)
    {
        $api->resource('/user', 'App\Http\Controllers\api\v1\userController');
        $api->post('/authuser','App\Http\Controllers\api\v1\userController@authUser');
    });
});

When I try php artisan api:routes I receive the error:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]                                        
  Cannot use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController because the name is already in use 

When I comment this:

 //$api->post('login','App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController@authenticate');

The error is gone? What could be wrong?

You can try, by replacing

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController

to

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as CoreController

there would be clashing BaseController
