Class not found in templates/basic/home.php

Summary: I am trying to set up a new module on a local server (apache on mac) and the code dies due to not finding class 'CAFHomeHero' (just an example).

I think I did everything right in admin: a module, a view and form, etc. The only glitch was that custom/inc/modules/home-hero.php was already created, so admin failed to create it. There is not much in that file:

<?
	class CAFHomeHero extends BigTreeModule {
		var $Table = "caf_home_hero";
	}
?>

The table exists.

After all this, refreshing a page still dies with a message like:

Class 'CAFHomeHero' not found in .../templates/basic/home.php

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Tushar

Re: Class not found in templates/basic/home.php

Make sure /cache/bigtree-module-class-list.json is writable. If it is and it exists, verify that your CAFHomeHero class is in the list and that the value for the key is the same as your filename (without .php), so in this case I think that would be "home-hero".
