I am trying to create a view to display data from the database but I discovered that my route file doesn’t do anything anymore.
At the moment I am trying to get the test function working but when I go to /test
it just says “Page not found”. The other routes work. Even if I delete all of the contents and save the file, all the other routes work.
I have tried artisan route:clear
, artisan cache:clear
and so on but nothing works.
This is my route file.
Route::get('/test', function () { return "ok"; });//this is not workig Route::get( '/', function () { return view( 'welcome' ); } ); Route::resource( 'submission', 'SubmissionController' );

When you execute php artisan route:cache
, Laravel creates a cached routes file in the bootstrap/cache/routes.php
directory. While this file exists all your other apps route files will be ignored.
Anytime you create new routes you will need to re-generate the routes cache by executing php artisan route:cache
.
If you need to remove the route cache you can execute php artisan route:clear
.
If the above fails to solve your problem, it could indicate a permissions problem. Make sure the bootstrap/cache
directory has the correct permissions to be altered/deleted.
Failing that, you could manually delete the bootstrap/cache/routes.php
file yourself.
