I'm using Laravel 4.2. I have a custom ServiceProvider that is registered in app.php. My code wasn't working the way I expected, so I added a syntax error to my service provider file to see if it was loading.

Turns out, it's not loading when I access my site via the web - the syntax error never gets thrown. But if I run a phpunit test, phpunit experiences the syntax error. Yes, I've run composer dump-auto.

What am I missing? I'm not getting a "can't find file" error - I'm not getting any errors at all, which mean it's not loading the file.

The ServiceProvider is located at /app/providers/myorg/MyOrgServiceProvider.php.

/vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php is also showing it correctly: 'MyOrg\\ServiceProvider\\MyOrgServiceProvider' => $baseDir . '/app/providers/myorg/MyOrgServiceProvider.php',

//composer.json
"autoload": {
		"classmap": [
			//...all the other autoload files,
			"app/providers"
		]
	},

// /config/app.php
'providers' => array(
					'MyOrg\ServiceProvider\MyOrgServiceProvider',
					'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
					'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
					//....all the other providers
					) 

///app/providers/myorg/MyOrgServiceProvider.php
namespace MyOrg\ServiceProvider;
 
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
asdf //the forced syntax error
class MyOrgServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
 
  public function register() {
		//...all the binding info     
	}
}
