Alias is invalid message

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I am creating a widget and I am getting the following exception:


Alias "components.laser.Laser" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing directory or file.

This is how I am calling my widget:


<?php $this->widget('components.laser.Laser', array('form_id'=>$form_id)); ?>

This is the widget class, which is in /protected/components/laser/Laser.php:




<?php


class Laser extends CWidget

{

    public $form_id;


    public function run()

    {

        $this->renderPartial('_form', array('form_id'=>$form_id), false, true);

    }

}

This is the partial view, which is in /protected/components/laser/views/_form.php:




<div class="form">

    <fieldset>

        <legend style="font-weight: bold">

            <?php


            $form = Form::model()->find("id=$form_id");

            echo ucfirst($form->title);

            

            ?>

        </legend>

    </fieldset>

</div><!-- form -->

Any idea what is causing the exception?

If your path is [font=“Courier New”]/protected/components/laser/Laser.php[/font], shouldn’t the widget call be:


$this->widget('application.components.laser.Laser'…

That’s it! I knew it was something simple. Thanks for the help.
