Laravel 5.3, Class 'App\Models\User' not found

I have laravel app.

It works locally, using php artisan serve command.

After deployment to remote server it does not work.

Every artisan command returns:

 [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]  
 Class 'App\Models\User' not found

Excerpt from App\Models\User.php (case-sensitive).

<?
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable {
// code here
}

composer dump-autoload does not fix it.

.gitignore

/vendor
.env
/public/css/
/public/js/
/public/img/
/public/fonts/
/node_modules/

composer.json

I was using use App\Models\User; in my controller when I copied my models from root of app folder to Models folder inside app folder.

An additional change was required which was using namespace App\Models; Inside my models so now my User model looks like:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Laravel\Lumen\Auth\Authorizable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Access\Authorizable as AuthorizableContract;

class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, AuthorizableContract

Check the generated cached files, might still be referencing the old namespace.

rm -r bootrap/cache should to the trick

Finally, I found a solution.

In php.ini set short_open_tag = On and voila - it works.

Add use clause at the top of a controller where you're trying to use the model:

use App\Models\User;

Alternatively, you can use full namespace:

$user = App\Models\User::find(1);

Also, make sure User.php is in the app\Models directory and make sure you've changed model in config\auth.php file:

'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Model\User::class,
    ],
],
