Php laravel - page only shows white after login-CodePudding

My registration page works well. As I registered a new account, it then redirects me to the "home" page. However, when I tried to login, it redirects me to a blank white page. I tried to check the route, the action="login" on the form, at the controller, it all corrects. I tried different way of writing the code such as Auth::Attempt as well as auth()->attempt(). I compared it with the register page that I've created. It should be fine. I really have no idea where I did wrong. Please help. I need to complete a project by next week tuesday. I'm in a very tight schedule right now.

Route code

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('home');
});

Route::get('/record', function () {
    return view('record');
});

Route::get('/profile', function () {
    return view('profile');
});

Route::get('register', [RegisterController::class, 'create'])->middleware('guest');
Route::post('register', [RegisterController::class, 'store'])->middleware('guest');

Route::get('login', [SessionsController::class, 'create'])->middleware('guest');
Route::post('session', [SessionsController::class, 'store'])->middleware('guest');

Route::post('logout', [SessionsController::class, 'destroy'])->middleware('auth');

Controller page

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class SessionsController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        return view('sessions.create');
    }


    public function store()
    {
        $attributes = request()->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required'
        ]);

        if (Auth::Attempt($attributes)) {
            return redirect('/')->with('success', 'Your account has been created.');
        }
    }

    public function destroy()
    {
        auth()->logout();

        redirect('/')->with('success', 'Goodbye');
    }
}

Home page

<x-layout>
    <div id="sidebar" >
        <div >
            <form method="GET" action="/">
                <input type="text" name="search" placeholder="Search Staff"  value="{{ request('search') }}">
            </form>
        </div>

        <div >
            <x-category-dropdown />
        </div>
    </div>
</x-layout>

CodePudding user response：

The likely cause of this is that your Auth::attempt() is failing. You have no fallback/default response if it fails:

// redirect ONLY IF authentication succeeds
if (Auth::Attempt($attributes)) {
    return redirect('/')->with('success', 'Your account has been created.');
}

// we get here if authentication fails, but do nothing

Add in a fallback redirect for instances where authentication fails:

if (Auth::Attempt($attributes)) {
    return redirect('/')->with('success', 'Your account has been created.');
}

return redirect('/')->with('errors', 'Authentication failed.');
