Getting "Invalid route action" when upgrading Laravel from 5.0.33 to 5.1 LTS

Question

Here is my composer.json

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.1.*",
        "illuminate/html": "5.*",
        "lucadegasperi/oauth2-server-laravel": "~4.0"
        },
        "require-dev": {
            "phpunit/phpunit": "~4.0",
            "phpspec/phpspec": "~2.1",
        "laracasts/generators": "^1.1"
            },
            "autoload": {
                "classmap": [
                "database"
                ],
                "psr-4": {
                    "App\\": "app/"
                }
                },
                "autoload-dev": {
                    "classmap": [
                    "tests/TestCase.php"
                    ]
                    },
                    "scripts": {
                        "post-install-cmd": [
                        "php artisan clear-compiled",
                        "php artisan optimize"
                        ],
                        "post-update-cmd": [
                        "php artisan clear-compiled",
                        "php artisan optimize"
                        ],
                        "post-create-project-cmd": [
                        "php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\"",
                        "php artisan key:generate"
                        ]
                        },
                        "config": {
                            "preferred-install": "dist"
                        }
                    }

When I run composer update command and follow that article

http://laravel.com/docs/master/upgrade

I get this error,

Invalid route action: [App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController]

I searched everywhere but did not find a solution

By the way, I'm using Lucadegasperi library for integerating oAuth2 functionality with Laravel.

Answer 1

The problem was caused by a route which is not compatible with the new version of Laravel 5.1

Route::get('login', 'Auth\AuthController');
