How to fix blank page on admin-post.php call?

I just noticed that admin-post.php doesn't fired for me.

I have a simple form : 

<form method="POST" action="<?php echo esc_url( admin_url('admin-post.php') ); ?>" >
 <?php wp_nonce_field( 'customLoginConnect', 'customLoginConnectNonce' ); ?>
 <input type="hidden" name="action" value="customLoginConnect" />
 <input class="form-control" type="email" name="user_email" required>
 <input class="form-control" type="password" name="user_pwd" required>
</form>

And this :

add_action( 'admin_post_nopriv_customLoginConnect', 'customLoginConnect' );
add_action( 'admin_post_customLoginConnect', 'customLoginConnect' );

When I submit this, I get blank page..

I have Wordpress 5.4.1 and I deactivate ALL my plugins and change theme. I put WP_DEBUG as true and see no errors. Nothing !

I do something wrong ?

The following is added to functions.php file

add_action( 'admin_post_nopriv_customLoginConnect', 'customLoginConnect' );
add_action( 'admin_post_customLoginConnect', 'customLoginConnect' );

The function definition is also added to the functions.php file. Ex: 

function customLoginConnect()
{
    //Please add your code here
    $url = $_POST['_wp_http_referer'];
    wp_redirect($url);
}

The error is usually caused by a filter or an action not properly declared. Can you please check this. Now you say you get a white page. This is because we need to redirect back to our form. I've used a simple wp_redirect(). Hope this will resolve your problem.
