Laravel wrong route redirection resulting in a 404-CodePudding

In my Laravel app, I get a 404 error and I can't figure out why. The route correctly appears in artisan route:list. I'm using route groupping and prefixes. Laravel debug output shows a different URI than expected. It seems that the books.archives route redirects to the book.display route. I just don't get it.

Here is an extract of my web.php :

    // Books
    Route::prefix('books')->name('books')->group(function() {
        Route::get('/', [BooksController::class, 'list']);
        Route::get('/create', [BooksController::class, 'create'])->name('.create');
        Route::post('/', [BooksController::class, 'store'])->name('.store');
        Route::get('/edit/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'edit'])->name('.edit');
        Route::patch('/edit/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'update'])->name('.update');
        Route::get('/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'display'])->name('.display');
        Route::post('/delete/{id}', [BooksController::class, 'delete'])->name('.delete');
        
        Route::prefix('archives')->name('.archives')->group(function() {
            Route::get('/', [BooksController::class, 'archived']);
            Route::get('/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'archive'])->name('.store');
            Route::post('/delete/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'delete'])->name('.delete');
            Route::post('/delete/all', [BooksController::class, 'deleteAll'])->name('.delete.all');
            Route::get('/restore/{id}', [BooksController::class, 'restore'])->name('.restore');
        });
    });

The artisan route:list output :

The debug output (from the page /dashboard/books/archives) :

What am I doing wrong ?

CodePudding user response：

As the path matches both "books.display" and "books.archives.archived" routes, maybe it is taking the first of them. Try putting the "archive" group of routes before the "book" routes:

    // Books
Route::prefix('books')->name('books')->group(function() {

    Route::prefix('archives')->name('.archives')->group(function() {
        Route::get('/', [BooksController::class, 'archived']);
        Route::get('/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'archive'])->name('.store');
        Route::post('/delete/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'delete'])->name('.delete');
        Route::post('/delete/all', [BooksController::class, 'deleteAll'])->name('.delete.all');
        Route::get('/restore/{id}', [BooksController::class, 'restore'])->name('.restore');
    });

    Route::get('/', [BooksController::class, 'list']);
    Route::get('/create', [BooksController::class, 'create'])->name('.create');
    Route::post('/', [BooksController::class, 'store'])->name('.store');
    Route::get('/edit/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'edit'])->name('.edit');
    Route::patch('/edit/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'update'])->name('.update');
    Route::get('/{bookInfo}', [BooksController::class, 'display'])->name('.display');
    Route::post('/delete/{id}', [BooksController::class, 'delete'])->name('.delete');
    
    
});
