Unable to create a Controller in Symfony 5 : Expected to find class

I specify that I am not a beginner with Symfony. It's not about creating a Controller, but an error I get when I try to create a Controller. I also specify that it is about an already existing website which comprise approximately 10 controllers.

To create a controller, I tried several methods:

Either way, I got the following error:

Expected to find class "App\Controller\NomController" in file "C:\wamp64\www\dev\nom-site\src\Controller\NomController.php" while importing services from resource "../src/", but it was not found! Check the namespace prefix used with the resource in C:\wamp64\www\dev\nom-site\src../config/services.yaml (which is being imported from "C:\wamp64\www\dev\nom-site\src\Kernel.php").

Obviously, the NomController class exists in the NomController.php file and:

Here is the services.yaml file:

services:

    _defaults:
        autowire: true      
        autoconfigure: true 

    App\:
        resource: '../src/'
        exclude:
            - '../src/DependencyInjection/'
            - '../src/Entity/'
            - '../src/Kernel.php'
            - '../src/Tests/'

I tested to add a new

I have exactly the same error. In fact, it is not a problem specific to controllers. It can be a modification so that symfony keeps in cache all the PHP classes (gain in performance).

There are multiple reasons that could cause this issue.

1. Check your class name and namespace (case sensitive)

In your case, your class name must be NomController, namespace App\Controller\NomController and located in src/Controller/NomController

2. Check for syntax errors

Weirdly enough, this error can pop up for other reasons such as a missing colon ;

3. Check your composer.json for your autoload config

With symfony default configuration, it should look like this:

{
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {"App\\": "src/"}
    }
}

You can then run composer dump-autoload to generate manually your vendor/autoload.php file (used by your index.php).
