Action not defined - ErrorException in UrlGenerator.php line 605

Question

I'm getting the following error: ErrorException in UrlGenerator.php line 605: Action App\Http\Controllers\VehicleController@processLead not defined.

I've checked if the route exists by using the command php artisan route:list and it does.

routes\web.php

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\BaseController;
use App\Http\Controllers\VehicleController;
use App\Http\Requests\ValidateLeadValues;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

/*

|
*/

Route::get('/', 'IndexController@index');
Route::get('usedcars/', 'VehicleController@index');
Route::post('processLead/{id}', function ($id, ValidateLeadValues $leadValues, VehicleController $vehicleController)
{
    return $vehicleController->processLead($id, $leadValues);
})->where(['id' => '[0-9]+']);

I have the following inside my view file. The code is in my form's action and when I remove it, the page loads fine.

{{ action('VehicleController@processLead', ['id' => $vehicle->id]) }}

Answer 1

Do you have in the App\Http\Controllers\VehicleController a public method processLead?

Try changing the view to {{ url('processLead', [$vehicle->id]) }}

I think the problem occurs, because the route is not registered directly with the controller method.
