Getting "Class 'GroceryCrud\Core\GroceryCrud' not found" at the installation of Grocery CRUD

After installing Grocery CRUD Enterprise at my Codeigniter 4 project, I am getting the following error:

Class 'GroceryCrud\Core\GroceryCrud' not found

Am I missing something? I've followed the instructions of the Installation guide but there is nowhere showing how to resolve this.

Solution

  • This is a very common mistake when you install Grocery CRUD Enterprise without composer. Since the library is not loaded through PSR-4 that is used from composer, the library needs to be explicitly called through the function include.

    More specifically if your Controller starts with those lines:

    <?php
namespace App\Controllers;

use Config\Database as ConfigDatabase;
use Config\GroceryCrud as ConfigGroceryCrud;
use GroceryCrud\Core\GroceryCrud;

    You should add the below include right after the line namespace App\Controllers;

     include(APPPATH . 'Libraries/GroceryCrudEnterprise/autoload.php');

    So your new Controller will look like this:

    <?php
namespace App\Controllers;

// This is required
include(APPPATH . 'Libraries/GroceryCrudEnterprise/autoload.php');

use Config\Database as ConfigDatabase;
use Config\GroceryCrud as ConfigGroceryCrud;
use GroceryCrud\Core\GroceryCrud;
