I think there is something wrong with the psr-0 autoloader. I followed your example and created a new namespace

SugarAutoLoader::addNamespace('test\\', 'custom/test');

then created a TestClass under custom/test/TestClass.php and did repair & rebuild.

Autoloader failed to load it and after digging in the code I found that it tried to load the following file:

custom/test/test/TestClass.php (which doesn't exist).

Above example works well if I pass "psr4" as the 3rd parameter to the addNamespace function.

I had the same problem with autoloading a vendor library called PHPExcel (downloaded via composer). I couldn't autoload it because the SugarAutoloader::getFileNamePsr0 method kept returning a wrong path to the file (same thing as in the first example).

Since Sugar 7.5 a better option is to register your namespaces directly in composer.json if you are familiar with composer. After adding your autoload definitions, you can run "composer update nothing" to apply the changes. SugarAutoLoader will take care of the rest for you - we support both PSR-0 and PSR-4.

A knowledge base article will be available soon how to customize the composer configuration in SugarCRM. Perform a quick repair after running any composer command or manually remove cache/file_map.php and cache/class_map.php.
