Laravel 5 route not defined while it is

Question

I m a little confused on how this is supposed to work  But I m getting an Route   preferences 1  not defined error   In my routes php I have   Route  patch   preferences  id     UserController update     And in the view file  account preferences blade php  I have       Form  model Auth  user      method    gt   PATCH    route    gt    preferences     Auth  user  - gt id        I m getting an error telling me the route doesn t exist  I think I m misunderstanding the docs on this topic but in my opinion I ve defined a route for PATCH requests with a given parameter  and set this in the view correctly   What am I overlooking here

One more cause for this   If the routes are overridden with the same URI  Unknowingly   it causes this error   Eg   Route  get  dashboard     uses    gt   SomeController index    as    gt   my dashboard     Route  get  dashboard      uses    gt   SomeController dashboard    as    gt   my home dashboard       In this case route  my dashboard  is invalidate as the both routes has same URI   dashboard    dashboard     Solution  You should change the URI for either one  Eg   Route  get  dashboard     uses    gt   SomeController index    as    gt   my dashboard     Route  get  home-dashboard     uses    gt   SomeController dashboard    as    gt   my home dashboard           See the URI changed for this  home-dashboard   Hope it helps some once

This thread is old but was the first one to come up so I thought id share my solution too  Apart from having named routes in your routes php file  This error can also occur when you have duplicate URLs in your routes file  but with different names  the error can be misleading in this scenario  Example Route  any  official form reject-form    FormStatus rejectForm  - gt name  reject-form        Route  any  official form accept-form    FormStatus acceptForm  - gt name  accept-form     Changing one of the names solves the problem  Copy pasting and fatigue will get you to this problem

On a side note   I had the similar issues where many times I get the error Action method not found  but clearly it is define in controller   The issue is not in controller  but rather how routes php file is setup  Lets say you have Controller class set as a resource in route php file  Route  resource  example    ExampleController      then   example  will have all RESTful Resource listed here   http   laravel com docs 5 0 controllers restful-resource-controllers  but now you want to have some definition in form e g   action    ExampleController postStore  then you have to change this route  in route php file  to   Route  controller  example    ExampleController

The route   method  which is called when you do   route    gt   someroute   in a form opening  wants what s called a named route  You give a route a name like this   Route  patch   preferences  id          as    gt   user preferences update        uses    gt   UserController update        That is  you make the second argument of the route into an array  where you specify both the route name  the as   and also what to do when the route is hit  the uses    Then  when you open the form  you call the route       Form  model Auth  user           method    gt   PATCH        route    gt    user preferences update   Auth  user  - gt id           Now  for a route without parameters  you could just do  route    gt   routename   but since you have a parameter  you make an array instead and supply the parameters in order   All that said  since you appear to be updating the current user s preferences  I would advise you to let the handling controller check the id of the currently logged-in user  and base the updating on that - there s no need to send in the id in the url and the route unless your users should need to update the preferences of other users as well

My case is a bit different  since it is not a form but to return a view  Add method - gt name  route     MyView blade php looks like this    lt a href    route  admin      gt CATEGORIES lt  a gt    And web php routes file is defined like this   Route  view  admin    admin index  - gt name  admin

I m using Laravel 5 7 and tried all of the above answers but nothing seemed to be hitting the spot   For me  it was a rather simple fix by removing the cache files created by Laravel  It seemed that my changes were not being reflected  and therefore my application wasn t seeing the routes   A bit overkill  but I decided to reset all my cache at the same time using the following commands   php artisan route clear php artisan view clear php artisan cache clear   The main one here is the first command which will delete the bootstrap cache routes php file  The second command will remove the cached files for the views that are stored in the storage framework cache folder  Finally  the last command will clear the application cache

In my case the solution was simple    I have defined the route at the very start of the route php file   After moving the named route to the bottom  my app finally saw it   It means that somehow the route was defined too early

i had the same issue and find the solution lately   you should check if your route is rather inside a route  group  like here   Route  group   prefix    gt   Auth    as    gt   Auth     namespace    gt   Auth    middleware    gt   Auth     if so you should use it in the view file  like here      Form  model Auth  user      method    gt   PATCH    route    gt   Auth preferences     Auth  user  - gt id

when you execute the command  php artisan route list   You will see all your registered routes in there in table format   Well there you see many columns like Method   URI   Name   Action    etc   So basically if you are using route   method that means it will accept only name column values and if you want to use URI column values you should go with url   method of laravel

Please note that the command   php artisan route list   Or to get more filter down list   php artisan route list   grep your route your controller   the forth column tells you the names of routes that are registered  usually generated by Route  resource

If route is not defined  then check web php routing file   Route  get   map    NavigationController map  - gt name  map       note the name   method    Then you can use this method in the views    lt a class  nav-link  href     route  map       gt        Map      lt  a gt    PS  the     Map   is to translate  Map  to the current language   And the list of names for routes you can see with artisan command   php artisan route list
