CI4 Routing Issue (Resolved) - LynxCoder - 08-27-2020
Hi All,
I am coming to the line of thinking that I am missing something very simple here, but just cannot see it.
ON both my local MAMP environment on the Mac, and on a shared hosting platform, the following routing code is misbehaving. Allow_rewrite is switched on, and the .htaccess file is working. The code was developed initially with the alpha version of CI4, and now updated through Composer to CI4.0.4.
In /config/routes.php I have:
* Controllers when no specific route has been defined. If false,
* only routes that have been defined here will be available.
*/
$routes->setDefaultNamespace('App\Controllers');
$routes->setDefaultController('Home');
$routes->setDefaultMethod('index');
$routes->setTranslateURIDashes(false);
$routes->set404Override();
$routes->setAutoRoute(true);
/**
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
* Route Definitions
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
// We get a performance increase by specifying the default
// route since we don't have to scan directories.
$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');
$routes->get('/dashboard', 'Users::dashboard', ['as' => 'dashboard']);
That works fine, and routes to the dashboard, with no index.php file in evidence and all is ok.
However, once the route definitions change to:
$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');
$routes->get('/dashboard/news/(:num)', 'Users::newsstory/$1');
$routes->get('/dashboard/account', 'Users::accountsettings');
$routes->get('/dashboard', 'Users::dashboard', ['as' => 'dashboard']);
Then the /dashboard route still works, but when you navigate to /dashboard/account - it says cannot find Users::account. When you navigate to /dashboard/news/11 is says cannot find Home::index.
Anything beyond the first level routing is mis-routing. Within the users controller are functions called dashboard, account settings and newsstory($storyid) but the latter two are never called. I can get the segment data by breaking down the URL in the code, but that does not solve the issue of routing.
Where am I going wrong can anyone tell me?

I have tried everything I can think of with this problem. I have got the URI helper to output the current URI which correctly shows no index.php in the URI, so from that I presume the .htaccess is working right.
Every time domain.com/segment1 always follows the specific routing, but when you have domain.com/segment1/segment2, it just does not follow the routing procedures. I have also tried with segment1 as a group. With the 'get' route of / within that group, it again routes fine. But put segment2 within that group, and the routing is never followed.
Could the core framework need reinstalling?

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);

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']);

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.

Problem resolved. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact answer, but it must have been a carry over somewhere from one of the pre-release versions. I started coding this site with 4.0.0-alpha, and have updated the base code with every release.
However, I have now created a fresh CI4.0.4 project, and moved all of my code into it, updated the config folder to reflect the settings I had previously, and everything now works as it should. That proves my code was ok, and it must just have been a bug that in the framework code somewhere.
All has now been committed to the GIT repo and works find on the end server as well.
