SOLVED: CI 4.0.2 and subdirectories

Hi! I've just been playing with CI 4.0.2 and I noticed I can't use subdirectories in my Controllers folder, everything else works fine, I installed via composer.

I have $routes->setAutoRoute(true); in Routes.php
if i use this address http://localhost:8080/home works fine, but if create a directory and put the same Home.php file, I get a 404 error
Controllers/Home.php -> http://localhost:8080/home (Works)
Controllers/dot2/Home.php -> http://localhost:8080/dot2/home or http://localhost:8080/dot2/home/index (Doesn't Work)

I get this error
404 - File Not Found

Controller or its method is not found: App\Controllers\Dot2::Home


Have you encounter the same problem?

Thanks!!

I am facing the same problem for the Controllers and the Views too

You need to namespace all folders and sub-folders.

If in the Controllers directory then:

PHP Code:

<?php
namespace App\Controllers; 


If the Controller is in a sub directory:

PHP Code:

<?php
namespace App\Controllers\sub-directory; 


When extending or using a Controller from a sub directory:

PHP Code:

use App\Controllers\sub-directory 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Please, add it info in documentation:  https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...controller

Same issue, i spend sometimes to figure out the right way...

Agree with @juancarlosv. please add it to the documentation.

Excellent! Thank you, it's working now.

a few things before:
- Yes, you need to add the folder name into the namespace
- the folder must start with an upper-case letter
- The folder has the same rules as any Controller file (I think)

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Controllers\Dot2;

use CodeIgniter\Controller;

class Test extends Controller { 
    
} 


Thank you so much, I had same problem also, this solved my problem too, I checked documentation first but couldn't find the best explanation about it there.
