Method App\Http\Requests\<folder>\StoreRequest::factory does not exist.

[Jeremy Holstein]

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public static string $factory = StoreRequestFactory::class;

Can you provide more clear examples? Like where and what is being included.

No matter what I try I can't get Factories in other folders or the actual FormRequest::factory to work.

[Oliver Nybroe]

What version do you have installed? 👀

[Jeremy Holstein]

let me try now, I was on 2.5. Had to upgrade to PHP 8.2

[Jeremy Holstein]

Could not find [Database\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequestFactory].
Please specify a relevant RequestFactory FQCN using a public static $factory property on
[App\Http\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequest].

Invoice_Test.php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Http\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequest;

it('does something', function () {

    $data = StoreRequest::factory()->create();

App\Http\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequest.php

namespace App\Http\Requests\Invoice;

use Database\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequestFactory;

class StoreRequest extends FormRequest
{

    public static $factory = StoreRequestFactory::class;

Database\Requests\Invoice\StoreRequestFactory.php

namespace Database\Requests\Invoice;

use Worksome\RequestFactories\RequestFactory;

class StoreRequestFactory extends RequestFactory
{
    public function definition(): array
    {
        return [

request-factories.php

return [
    /**
     * The default path for request factories is 'tests/RequestFactories'.
     * Keep this value as `null` to use the default. If you'd rather
     * change the default location, you may override it here.
     */
    'path' => 'database/requests',

    /**
     * If your request factories are located somewhere other than the
     * default location, you should update the namespace to reflect
     * that to prevent bugs when locating factories from a request.
     */
    'namespace' => 'Database\\Requests',
];

It seems to work fine if I move it back to the default folder and remove the config, but I thought the package lets you customize the locations?

let me add in the person who mainly build this :)

bump

[Jeremy Holstein]

bump, still not working and completely unusable unless you are on 8.2 which is not possible for my current project.

[Luke Downing]

@jjjrmy as far as the 8.2 part is concerned, I've just tagged v2.6.0 which adds support for L10 when using older versions of PHP.

[Luke Downing]

Not had chance to look into the issue yet but it is on my todo list

[Luke Downing]

@jjjrmy quick thought on this: have you added the relevant PSR-4 autoloading entry to your composer.json file for the namespace you've created here? Should look something like this:

"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/",
            "Database\\Seeders\\": "database/seeders/",
            "Database\\Factories\\": "database/factories/",
            "Database\\Requests\\": "database/requests/"

Don't forget to composer dump-autoload afterwards

Thank you, I think this is very necessary! I will give it a try.

I haven't revisited this, but I will try again with the v2.6.0

[Luke Downing]

Going to close this as I haven't heard anything new 👍
