Laravel (6.0) Route not found error - but route exists in route:list

Question

I am trying to access a route from a package but I get route not found - even though the route shows when I am using the command php artisan route:list. I have tried clearing all cache but still no success? Everything works fine in my local environment so I am leaning towards a cache issue.

Error message is below:

Answer 1

First, clear all cahe & route cache : php artisan optimize Then if it's not working then sea your all Route php artisan route:list

Answer 2

Given all the other routes work, and the route got added later, it is a cache issue. You could try php artisan route:clear OR php artisan optimize:clear (I prefer the latter since it clears all cache, and not just route). It should start working then.

Note:

1. *:clear commands do NOT build the cache again.
2. The optimize command doesn't work with Route closures, so if you have that, you'd have to comment it out and then run the optimize command.
