Laravel 'Route Not Defined' when route is clearly defined

Question

I'm remaking the registration for my site, and have made a form that takes e-mail, password etc:

<form method="POST" class="etc" action="{{ route('register/blade/create') }}">
...
</form>

Then of course, my submit button in the form submits it and from routes in web.php:

Route::post('/register/basic/create', 'RegisterController@create');

However, every time I load this page, I get the following error:

I tried following others who had similar problems that posted on stack overflow, creating a named route, but that didn't seem to do the trick either. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

When you use named route route then you have to specify routes name in your routes/web.php file. Like this

routes/web.php

Route::post('/register/basic/create', 'RegisterController@create')->name('register');

In blade file

<form method="POST" class="etc" action="{{ route('register') }}">
...
</form>

Check details here https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/routing#named-routes

Answer 2

Sometimes the above error occurs when you have two routes with the same uri but different callbacks and different route name

For example

Route::post('update','PermissionController@update')->name('update_permission');`

Route::post('update','RoleController@update')->name('update_role');

The above routes update different resources but it will still return an error Route update_permission not defined or Route update_role not defined.

So the best thing to do is to use a different uri in each route so as to prevent conflict like this

Route::post('/role_permission/update','RoleController@update')->name('update_role');`

Route::post('/permission/update','PermissionController@update')->name('update_permission');

Answer 3

There is a possibility that you cashed the route so clear route cashe

php artisan route:clear

if you still not finding your route After clearing cache, then remove the route and re-write your route with different keywords, hope you will find the problem
