Symfony route not working with default and trailing /

Question

I'm beginning to work with Symfony 3. Testing routes, I created one with defaults as following:

index:
    path:     /test/{name}
    defaults: { _controller: MainBundle:Advert:index, name: maxime }

The route works with:

• /test/randomname
• /test

But not with

• /test/

Any idea why ? thanks

This is documented here https://symfony.com/doc/master/routing/optional_placeholders.html

Routes with optional parameters at the end will not match on requests with a trailing slash (i.e. /blog/ will not match, /blog will match).

If you do need to match even /test/ you can add the following route entry

index_trailing_slash:
    path:     /test/
    defaults: { _controller: MainBundle:Advert:index, name: maxime }
