Laravel 5.4 "MethodNotAllowedHttpException" (Basic Task List)

i was trying to follow this tutorial on Laravel, even though most of the code & directories there were outdated, i managed to make the "Add Task" and also The Form to show up after a few errors.

now the problem, the delete button. when i click on it, it shows a "MethodNotAllowedHttpException". i changed the source code to match the newest version of Laravel.

my form (current version) :

<form action="{{ url('/task/'.$task->id) }}" method="POST">
   {{ method_field('DELETE') }}
   {{ csrf_field() }}
   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">
     <i class="fa fa-btn fa-trash"></i>Delete
   </button>
</form>

my route :

Route::delete('/task/{id}', function ($id) {
    Task::findOrFail($id)->delete();
    return redirect('/');
});

i've been trying to fix this for 4 hours now, changing the methods of my route and form; but to no avail. this is my first question on this site, sorry if there's something wrong in this question.

thanks~

edit: to further help the effort, here's the complete error log Error log, in Google Chrome

Change

<form action="{{ url('task/'.$task->id) }}" method="DELETE">

to

<form action="{{ url('task/'.$task->id) }}" method="POST">

Because form method DELETE does not exist, Laravel just "overwrites" this method with the hidden input "method" (you can place this input using "{{ method_field('DELETE') }}").

Answer : Turns out the problem lies in the Database-table itself, let me explain : i was referring to a 'tasks' table that is referred as 'task' in code (no problem) BUT, i was referring to a column called "ID" in my table as "id" in my code, creating the error (a rookie mistake).

thanks to @Autista_z for the pointer, and everyone else below for the guidance!
