Class name must be a valid object or a string

I was struggling with Restful routes.

I ended up in routes.php

$routes->prefix('Api', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
    $routes->setExtensions(['json']);
    $routes->resources('Users');
    $routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);
});

$routes->scope('Api', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
    $routes->setExtensions(['json']);
    $routes->resources('Users');
});

There is also

$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
 $builder->connect('/swagger', ['controller' => 'Swagger', 'action' => 'index', 'plugin' => 'SwaggerBake']);
});

I run bin/server , open up /swagger and I get error message:

$controllerInstance = new $fqn(); Error in: /vendor/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/src/Lib/Operation/OperationFromRouteFactory.php, line 56

What is the correct way of setting up Resful routes? I want Controllers/Api/ to be all API related.

How to foolproof this and give user more hints about what is went wrong?

I checked the code litle bit . In SwaggerBake\Lib\Route\RouteDecorator ->setController sometimes gets uppercased controller name e.g. Users and sometimes lowercased e.g. users . Lower cased controller names cause Error in: /vendor/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/src/Lib/Operation/OperationFromRouteFactory.php, line 56

I have no idea , why view and index action have the controller lower cased, and there fore cause Swagger Error in: /vendor/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/src/Lib/Operation/OperationFromRouteFactory.php, line 56

This is really odd, how can I reproduce this? Ideally in https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake-demo @hekep

[cnizzardini]

Also, can you please post your config/swager_bake.php settings @hekep ?

[cnizzardini]

Judging by the config/swagger_bake.php config you posted in your other issue I think you need to add this to your config/swagger_bake.php`:

        'namespaces' => [
            'controllers' => ['\App\\Controllers\\Api'],
            'entities' => ['\App\\'],
            'tables' => ['\App\\']
        ],

Config documentation: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/blob/master/assets/swagger_bake.php#L43

Let me know if that works @hekep

Maybe post the output of this as well: bin/cake swagger routes which is documented here: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake#debug-commands and be sure to compare that against bin/cake routes.

You might want to also debug whats happening in here: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/blob/master/src/Lib/Route/RouteScanner.php

setController only sets what is in your cake routes: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/blob/b4cc23ac7571dab15f6bb94817f3fced3bb0f985/src/Lib/Route/RouteDecorator.php#L75

So I don't actually think what I posted earlier about forcing a namespace on controllers will work, there is something goofy with how your route defaults are being set.

@hekep I just tried reproducing your problem here and could not: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake-demo/tree/hekep
