Class not Found for namespace - attempting to override core

Permalink February 05, 2015 at 4:16 AM

I would like to override the default sharing icons.

I'm getting the following error message

Class 'Application\Src\Sharing\ShareThisPage\Service' not found

The file is located at

{root}/application/Src/Sharing/ShareThisPage/Service.php

//namespace
namespace Application\Src\Sharing\ShareThisPage;
use Concrete\Core\Sharing\SocialNetwork\Service as SocialNetworkService;
use Config;
class Service extends SocialNetworkService
{
//Code stuff
}

I'm attempting to call this from a controller

namespace Application\Block\ShareThisPage;
use Application\Src\Sharing\ShareThisPage\ServiceList; //Works
use Application\Src\Sharing\ShareThisPage\Service; //Does not work, and returns the error
//use Concrete\Core\Sharing\ShareThisPage\Service; //Works
use Concrete\Block\ShareThisPage\Controller as BlockController;
class Controller extends BlockController
{
//More code 
}

I've had some help over at this threadhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/5-7-discussion/helpers/... but I'm still struggling to get this working and can not see what I am doing incorrectly.

Can anybody help with this?

I've managed to work this out, my environment ended up with two `src` folders with a difference in case

`Src` and `src` but my IDE was treating it as a single directory therefore files in /src/ where placed in /Src/ there was a mixture of where the files had being placed, thus some classes working whilst others did not.

Tracing through the ClassLoader I noticed that DIRNAME_CLASSES is set as 'src' so checked my local and trying to rename it noticed an exception with a folder already existing error. Checked the finder and notice that two folders exist, moved the files over to the `src` folder deleted the `Src` version and tried again and voila.

TLDR: check the case
Src != src
