URL routing for methods with parameters leads to 404 error

Hello everyone,

I'm an experienced codeigniter 3 user trying to transition into codeigniter 4, and  i have this issue that has been bugging me all day.

Below is a route defined for  a class Access_control with method sign_in_page that accepts a parameter

Code:

$routes->get('/control_panel/sign_in/(:any)', 'Admin_portal/Access_control::sign_in_page/$1');

without the parameter , the page loads fine , but the moment you add the (:any) parameter , it shows the error below :

404 - File Not Found

Controller or its method is not found: \App\Controllers\Admin_portal::index

However , if you visit the actual link directly , the page works fine , what could be the problem?

Have you tried Admin_Portal.
