Action App\Http\Controllers\Controller@action not defined

I want to submit a form, but I always get Action App\Http\Controllers\About@show not defined even though the function show is defined:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;


class AboutController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        return view('about.contact');
    }

    public function show()
    {
        return view('about.contactshow');
    }

}

This is my blade template about\contact.blade.php:

{!! Form::open(array('action' => 'About@show', 'method' => 'post')) !!}

    {!! Form::label('username','Username',array('id'=>'user','class'=>'')) !!}
    {!! Form::text('username','user 1',array('id'=>'user','class'=>'', 'placeholder' => 'user 1')) !!}

    {!! Form::submit('Click Me!') !!}


{!! Form::close() !!}

What am I doing wrong?

I had the same issue.

The problem was with routes/web.php. I was building my app one step at a time, and because of that I passed a second array to my route using 'only' like this, to make it create the index route only:

Route::resource('model', 'ModelController', [
     'only' => ['index']
]);

But after creating the 'create' view, I couldn't pass data to store function in my controller. I found out because the store function requires an explicit route (as mentioned above). So I added it to the 'only' array like this and it worked like a charm:

Route::resource('model', 'ModelController', [
    'only' => [
        'index',
        'create',
        'store',
    ]
]);

(Laravel v. 7.4.0)

I had a similar issue but it wasnt my controller name that was wrong (web.php and actual file name were 100% correct). Due to an earlier 'refactor' - it replaced my form action/method. So my form opener looked like so:

{!! Form::open(['method'=>'POST', 'action'=>'AdminBankingDetailController', 'class'=>'m-form m-form--state']) !!}

Instead of like so (for the create view/page):

{!! Form::open(['method'=>'POST', 'action'=>'AdminBankingDetailController@store', 'class'=>'m-form m-form--state']) !!}

Make sure it has an @action on your form.

When you get this error, it's possible that you entered the wrong spelling in the web.php or another action method. Simply go and check the spelling.

I was able to solve it. First I had to change 'action' => 'About@show' to 'action' => 'AboutController@show'

Then I had to register all Controller Actions in routes.php:

Route::post('contact_show', [
    'uses' => 'AboutController@show'
  ]);

Route::get('contact_create', [
    'uses' => 'AboutController@create'
  ]);

You're not calling the good controller!!

{!! Form::open(array('action' => 'AboutController@show', 'method' => 'post')) !!}

instead of:

{!! Form::open(array('action' => 'About@show', 'method' => 'post')) !!}

It's trying to get the action About@show but you didn't define it like this in your controller!!

Hope it helps!
