Strange 404 routes when having a specific file in /public/ - b126 - 03-10-2023
Here's a problem that's easy to cope with but still strange to me.
Say I have a presenter route defined as follows in /Config/Routes.php
PHP Code:
$routes->presenter('products', ['controller' => 'ProductsController']);
and at the same time I have a products.txt file located in /public/ folder.
When I try to access /products/show/1 route I get a 404 Not Found.
I understand that the routes are created automatically and managed behind by the webserver but why is the .TXT not taken into account to differentiate the route and the file?

php routing starts working if the resource specified in the url does not exist.
For url example.com/products.txt
the server will first look for the public/products.txt file, and if the file is not found, the server will pass control to the framework's routing.
For url example.com/products/show/1
first, the server will look for the file public/products/show/1, and if the file is not found, the server will pass control to the framework's routing.
If you get a 404 for /products/show/1, then there is no "public/products/show/1" file, or there is no "ProductsController" controller, or there is no "show" method in this controller, or this method returns 404.
Or your web server is not configured.
