Laravel 4 Eloquent ORM - Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException Cannot redeclare class WorkProcess - class

Question

Here's the scenario!!!
Schema for (work_processes)
Schema::create('work_processes', function($table){
$table->increments('id');
$table->enum('wp_type',array('M','F','D')); //M => Maintenance, F => Field, D => Drilling
$table->string('wp_name',50);
$table->integer('wp_owner_id');
$table->integer('wp_editor_id');
$table->text('wp_link');
$table->enum('wp_frequency',array('B','M','Q')); //B => Bi-Monthly, M => Monthly, Q => Quarterly
$table->date('wp_startdate');
$table->date('wp_enddate');
$table->enum('wp_active',array('Y','N'));
$table->timestamp('deleted_at')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});}
Schema for (wp_audit_questions)
Schema::create('wp_audit_questions', function($table){
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('wp_id');
$table->text('wp_audit_question');
$table->timestamps();
});
Model 1 as (WorkProcess)
class WorkProcess extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'work_processes';
protected $guarded = array('id');
protected $softDelete = true;
public function wpauditquestions()
{
return $this->hasMany('WpAuditQuestion');
}
}
Model 2 as (WpAuditQuestion)
class WpAuditQuestion extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'wp_audit_questions';
public function workprocess()
{
return $this->belongsTo('WorkProcess', 'wp_id');
}
}
'Controller as (WorkProcessController)
class WorkProcessController extends BaseController
{
public function ShowWpAuditQuestionEditForm($wpid)
{
$wp = WorkProcess::with(array('wpauditquestions' => function($query){
$query->where('wp_id', $wpid);
}))->get();
return View::make('wpauditquestion')->with(array('edit_mode' => 1, 'wpauditquestion' => $wpauditquestion));
}
}
'Controller as (WpAuditQuestionController)
class WpAuditQuestionController extends BaseController
{
public function ShowWPAuditQuestionForm()
{
$wpauditquestion = new WpAuditQuestion();
return View::make('wpauditquestion', compact('wpauditquestion'));
}
}
Routes.php
//model binding
Route::model('workprocess', 'WorkProcess');
Route::model('wpauditquestion', 'WpAuditQuestion');
Route::get('wpauditquestion/edit/{wpid}', array('uses' => 'WorkProcessController#ShowWpAuditQuestionEditForm', 'as' => 'wpauditquestion.edit'));
Problem:
This script generates this error message. e.g. MY_SERVER/wpauditquestion/edit/1
Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException
Cannot redeclare class WorkProcess
however, when I don't use the get() or any other method like paginate(5) etc, it does dump some data.
I have also tried this but same result.
$wp = WorkProcess::has('wpauditquestions')->get();
can someone please guide me what wrong I'm doing. I'm using laravel 4.0.7 with WAMP.
Also please guide me how to save this model after editing it e.g. if I have a form like this.
{{ Form::open(array('action' => 'WorkProcessController#PostWorkProcessEditForm', 'method' => 'put')) }}
{{-- Work Process Name --}}
{{ Form::hidden('wp_id') }}
<ol>
#for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
<p>
<li>
{{ Form::label('wp_audit_question', 'Audit Question') }}
{{ Form::text('wp_audit_question', Input::old('wp_audit_question')) }}
</p>
#endfor
</ul>
<p>{{ Form::submit('Submit Form', array('id' => 'Submit_Form')) }}</p>
{{ Form::close() }}
Thanks and Regards

Answer 1

Did you name your migration work_process which was turned into WorkProcess? It can be that your migration has same class name as your model.

Answer 2

Issue resolved! The problem was the model name 'WorkProcess' was clashing with something as I've my view name as 'workprocess.blade.php' as well. So I changed model name to 'WPModel' and its working fine now.

Answer 3

in case you did something like changing a class name.
Let's say you changed the class name of your model from 'users' to 'user',
You could try running the command 'composer dump-autoload'.
It worked for me though my case was not exactly the same as yours.
