Laravel throws InvalidArgumentException View [.profilePage.{user}] not found

Good night, I'm working on a Laravel project. I did a "Your Profile" button that redirects you to your profile, but i have an InvalidArgumentException: View [.profilePage.{user}] not found.

my UserPolicy.php function:

    public function Owner(User $user,User $destinationUser){
        return $user->id == $destinationUser->id;
    }

my UserController.php

    public function profile(User $user)
    {
        $this->authorize('Owner', $user);
        return view('/profilePage/{user}', compact('user',$user));

    }

my web.php

Route::get('/profilePage/{user}', 'UserController@profile');

my navbar.blade.php layout:

<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{url('/profilePage/'.Auth::user()->id)}}">Your profile</a>

I don't know where is the error and I'm needing help.

To resolve your view not found issue you need to pass the actual view name you want to be returned, without the extension:

return view('ProfilePage', compact('user'));

Your link is correct in the view though:

url('profilePage/'. Auth::user()->id)

will generate a URL like: http://yoursite.test/profilePage/1

The line return view('/profilePage/{user}', compact('user',$user)); is incorrect.

view() accepts a path/file in dot notation format.

What you are looking for is something like this:

public function profile(User $user)
{
    $this->authorize('Owner', $user);
    return view('profile.show', compact('user'));

}

The above code would return the view in resources\views\profile\show.blade.php

The route entry itself Route::get('/profilePage/{user}', 'UserController@profile'); will create the actual endpoint /profilePage/1, not the view returned in the controller.
