Controller Method Not Found Strange Behaviour

I have an AuthController in my laravel app, inside that controller i have several methods:

public function postLogin(LoginRequest $request)
{
  ...
}

public function getRegister()
{
  ...
}

public function postRegister(RegisterRequest $request)
{
  ...
}

For some reason now my postRegister() function does not work, when I run it in postman for some reason it always executes getRegister() instead, when i take out getRegister() it says Controller method not found.

This is my route:

Route::group(['prefix' => '/api/v1/', 'namespace' => 'App\Http\Auth\Controllers'], function() {
    /**
     * Authentication
     */
    Route::controllers([
        'auth' => 'AuthController',
        'password' => 'PasswordController',
    ]);
});

Edit: I have narrowed the issue down to my request file, the path is correct but for some reason when i try to use it in postRegister(RegisterRequest $request), the postRegister function does not get executed, no errors are thrown, it worked before now i have no idea what is causing this issue now.

I think i should also add that i created custom namespaces which i am using in my application.

After hours of searching and changing my code i found a solution here: laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/laravel-5-custom-request-not-working

Apparently when using postman to test your APIs in laravel you need to set the AcceptHeader to Application/json. I did not know this. :)

Make sure in Postman you are setting the HTTP method to 'POST', you are probably using 'GET' which is hitting the 'get' route not the 'post' route.

You can do a php artisan route:list to see your actual routes and the HTTP method(s) they accept.
