Warning: This question is Laravel 4 specific.
I've been using Facades in my controllers before. Therefore I know the code is working. Now I need to introduce dependency injection for various reasons.
After refactoring the controller I get following error:
Illuminate \ Container \ BindingResolutionException
Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ $name ]].
I can't figure out where the problem is. The Error message seems cryptic to me and I don't understand it. (I don't see any problem with my __constructor
parameters since I've registered the binding for the HelpersInterface
)
Here are the important parts of my code:
File: app/start/global.php
<?php
// ...
App::bind('Acme\Interfaces\HelpersInterface', 'Acme\Services\Helpers');
File: composer.json
// ...
"autoload": {
// ...
"psr-0": {
"Acme": "app/"
}

{
$this->app = $app;
$this->carbon = $carbon;
$this->view = $view;
$this->helpers = $helpers;
$lang = $this->app->getLocale();
$now = $this->carbon->now();
$this->view->share('lang', $lang);
$this->view->share('now', $now);
}
