Cannot access method in Controller!? - blaasvaer - 09-01-2020

I've set this in my App\Config\App.php: public $baseURL = 'http://localhost/my_project/';

I've added this in my Home Controller:

Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('welcome_message');
    }

    public function test ()
    {
        return view('test');
    }
}

I've copied the index.php and .htaccess from the public directory into the root and modified the path accordingly:

Code:
$pathsPath = realpath(FCPATH . 'app/Config/Paths.php'); // removed the preceding dots ../

I've also added the view test.php in the Views directory ...

Now, why can't I access the test method in the Home controller by doing this:

Code:
http://localhost/my_project/test

?
Well. Maybe because I didn't add the Controller name before the method OR didn't set it specifically in the Routes.php ...
I just 'thought' that, as the default controller is set, it would 'automagically' use that if left out ... but that would probably have been a bit weird ... so.

OK, so I received an e-mail that someone had replied to my post:

Code:
blaasvaer,

This one should work, you haven't done any routing to remove home from your url. So read up on that &hellip; (visit the thread to read more&hellip;)

In the $pathsPath, change FCPATH to ROOTPATH

To prevent other answers I'll throw my own quick replies as a 'regular' reply.

That's why I deleted my reply, as I noticed you had already found out why. xD

Well, I ‘guess’ the system failed to notify me about the deletion then ... which I think would be the proper respond from a system like this ... but maybe that’s just me.

Thanks anyway.

Why the learn/test curve in ci4 is so high?....
simple things, just starting - and already i'm in forums QA.

out of the box - Index method works in default controller.
why not other methods?
how to call other methods?
any call result with :
Cannot access the default controller "Home" with the controller name URI path.

can't be that there is no simple answer to it.

You need to define all routes you want.
