FOSUserbundle login form not redirecting to route

Question

I'm using FOSUserBundle and i want to redirect users to homepage after login. I'm using annotations to define my routes and i have named my homepage route "homepage". However, i get the error "no route found for homepage" after login. When i remove the default_target_path and always_use_default_target_path information from my security.yml file (as shown below), the form redirects me to a blank page after login. When i add it back (specifying the route), i get the no route found error.

Here's my routing.yml

app:
resource: "@AppBundle/Controller/"
type:     annotation

fos_user:
resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/all.xml"

Here's security.yml

firewalls:
    main:
        pattern: ^/
        form_login:
            provider: fos_userbundle
            csrf_token_generator: security.csrf.token_manager
            require_previous_session: false
            login_path: fos_user_security_login
            check_path: fos_user_security_check
            always_use_default_target_path: false
            default_target_path:            homepage //the name of my route

And here's the default Controller:

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/", name="homepage")
     */
public function indexAction(Request $request)
   {

      return $this->render('default/index.html.twig');


   }
}

I've cleared cache several times using several commands but still no luck. What could be the issue? Thanks.

Try to use the path of your route rather than its name for your default_target_path,
e.g. default_target_path: /

Of course, you should be able to browse the homepage route normally with an authenticated user.

If it works, execute the php app/console debug:router command.
If you doesn't see the route homepage, there is a mistake with your route definition.

My guess it that the route name is not homepage, maybe because of a prefix automatically added due to use of the AppBundle.

Also, you are setting always_use_default_target_path to false, be sure that your login form doesn't contain a _target_path hidden field.
