Class not found even exist on Magento 2

Question

I have a custom module and i tried to extend this class in my Image.php file: Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Image

namespace Vendor\Namespace\Block\Adminhtml\Form\Element;
class Image extends Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Image
{ 
 /**
 * Get image preview url
 *
 * @return string
 */
 protected function _getUrl()
 {
 return $this->getValue();
 }
}

When i run the compile command i receive this err: 14% 1 sec 52.0 MiBPHP Fatal error: Class 'vendor\namespace\Block\Adminhtml\Form\Element\Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Image' not found in app/code/vendorm/namespace/Block/Adminhtml/Form/Element/Image.php on line 9.

Even this class exist at this path, i still receive this error.

Does anyone know why this happen?

• Keyur Shah: try to extend with \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Image

Answer 1

Try :

class Image extends \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Image

Without the \ Magento is looking within the module for the class.
