Laravel 4 : NotFoundHttpException

I'm really new to Laravel, and am trying to just get a Form to work in general.

So I have a page (admin/index) that just have a form to it that has the route that maps to AdminController@test. The form submits fine but then I get a NotFoundHttpException. :(

The code for the form builder in index.blade.php is:

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('title')
Admin
@stop

@section('content')
{{ Form::open(array('route' => 'test', 'method' => 'get')) }} <!-- Works with AdminController@index -->
    {{ Form::text('info') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
@stop

The route in question is:

    Route::get('/admin/test/' , array( 'as' => 'test' , 
                                       'uses' => 'AdminController@test'));

And the controller in question is:

class AdminController extends BaseController{


    public function index(){
        return View::make('admin.index');
    }

    public function test(){
        error_log('Yay!');
    }

}

Like I said, simple form on admin/index , submits, but it doesn't make it to the controller, just to the NotFoundHttpException.

Edit: The form's HTML looks like this:

<form method="GET" action="http://localhost/showknowledge/admin/test/" 
accept-charset="UTF-8">   
 <input name="info" type="text">
</form>

It might be clearer to move your Routing logic into the AdminController and use a RESTful controller:

in routes.php add this, and remove the two route definitions for /admin/index and /admin/test:

Route::controller('admin' , 'AdminController');

This directs all requests to admin/ to your AdminController. now you need to rename your functions to include the HTTP verb (GET, POST or any), and the next component of your route:

public function getIndex()  // for GET requests to admin/index
{ 
    //blha blah blah 
}

public function getTest()  // for GET requests to admin/test
{ 
    //blha blah blah 
}

Finally, update your form to use that route directly through the action keyword:

{{ Form::open(array('action' => 'AdminController@getTest', 'method' => 'get')) }}

note, using missingMethod() to catch unhandled requests is really useful too, more info in the Laravel docs: http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#handling-missing-methods

Hope that helps
