PHP Fatal error: Class 'App\Providers\Cron' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\isend\blog\app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php on line 33

Hi,
I am trying to use the cron. I am using Laravel 5.3. I have installed the vendor as per the documentation. But I am not using mysql database. So, I had not run 'php artisan migrate --path=vendor/liebig/cron/src/migrations' comment. But when I run 'php artisan cron:run' comment I have this error. 'PHP Fatal error: Class 'App\Providers\Cron' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\isend\blog\app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php on line 17'.

I have attached one image. One is the error. I have also attached the 'AppServiceProvider' code. Please help me.

`<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
/
public function boot()
{
// Sendmail Cron
Cron::add('sendmail', '/1 * * * ', function() {
shell_exec('php -q /opt/lampp/htdocs/isend/blog/cron/sendMail.php > /dev/null 2>&1 &');
return null;
});
// Test Cron
Cron::add('test_cron', '/1 * * * *', function() {
$myfile = fopen("newfile.txt", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
$txt = "John Doe\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
return null;
});

	Cron::setDatabaseLogging(false);
	$report = Cron::run();
	print_r ($report);
}

/**
 * Register any application services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    //
}

}

Hi, please try to use \Cron instead of Cron. Have a look at the PHP namespaces manual.

Thanks it's working. I have already made all cron in laravel. There are all have a url. Can you tell me how to call those urls?

[liebig]

You can configure crontab on your server to call the artisan cron:run command or you need an online cronjob web service, which call the url. Google is your friend for this cronjob web service.
