CI4 Routing Issue (Resolved)

Haven't tested your code, but could it be so simple that you put / in front of everything?

PHP Code:

$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');
$routes->get('dashboard/news/(:num)', 'Users::newsstory/$1');
$routes->get('dashboard/account', 'Users::accountsettings');
$routes->get('dashboard', 'Users::dashboard', ['as' => 'dashboard']); 


Does it get less confused with auto route turn off?

PHP Code:

$routes->setAutoRoute(false); 


Thanks. I have tried it with setAutoRoute true and its the same outcome. Also tried with and without the leading / and no difference.
