title: Laravel helper files not working?
body: <p>Seems like my helper file app/helpers.php isn't working at all. 
  I just get a <code>Call to undefined function App\Http\Controllers\test()</code> error when I try to call functions in it even though it has the exact same setup (i think?) as another project that works.</p>
  
  <p>All the things that seemed to help everyone else with this problem doesn't work for me. Ie, adding the file to the composer.json, dumping autoload and so on.</p>
  
  <p>Content of helper file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  function test()
  {
      dd(":(");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Calling the function from a Controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function test()
  {
      test();
  }
  </code></pre>
