Screenshot of Excel file

No

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I've installed it with composer, then I put provider and alias strings where they belong.
I've tried both App::make('excel'); and Excel::create('Something'); options, each time I'm getting that Class excel does not exist error. Composer updates and autoload dumps doesn't help either.

[patrickbrouwers]

Are you sure you include the service provider? It sounds like it isn't loaded.

Can you paste the relevant parts op config/app.php

[dflow]

Same exact issue: Laravel 5.4 on 5.3 works fine

use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

app.php:

Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,

'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class,

$this->uploadedFile = Excel::load('storage/app/' . $this->uploadedFile, function ($reader) {
})->get();

ReflectionException in Container.php line 719: Class excel does not exist

[patrickbrouwers]

Perhaps your config is cached?

[dflow]

yes that seems to fix that thanks

[oveland]

To clean cache config, on laravel 5.4 excecute:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

This solved the same problem... Thanks patrickbrouwers!

[drashtiLaravel]

Same issue i have...laravel 5.4 and mattweb version 2.1.0

[pipat1995]

Is this problem resolved?

[milewski]

@pipat1995 this bug still happening, somehow the service provider does not get registered during tests... you can manually add Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class, in your config/app.php to solve this issue

[Abdullahmasood553]

Class Maatwebsite\Excel\Cache\CacheManager does not exist

Can Anyone help me why i keep getting this error. It works fine on my local machine but pop up error message when live on the server. I have installed and followed all the steps required for maatwebsite Excel package. I am using laravel 5.5 version.

[hyperflux]

The order of operations is important here. Add the service provider and the class alias to app/config.php:

# app/config.php:
'providers' => [
Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,
]

'aliases' => [
'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class
]

THEN run the artisan cache and config commands on the production server.

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
