Use of subfolder for controllers when using presenter or resources routes

You can check your routes with spark routes command:

Code:

$ php spark routes

---

Is this the intended behaviour or is it a bug to be reported?

I think it is the intended behavior. There is no relation with a route and a controller sub-directory.

$routes->group('dashboard', ...) just adds dashboard in the route.
It does not change the Controller of the presenter.

If you want to change the controller, you need to specify the namespace.

PHP Code:

$routes->group('dashboard', ['namespace' => 'App\Controllers\dashboard'], static function ($routes) {
    $routes->presenter('movie');
    $routes->presenter('category', ['except' => ['show']]);
});
