Redirect - route cannot be found while reverse-routing.

Hi,

what does this message mean? in my routes there is a route

The call of redirect($route) is not working but the call of $this->response->redirect('/' . $route) is working. What is the correct use of the redirect function?

in my controller method this is not working:

PHP Code:

return redirect()->to('/' . $route);

// this is working
$this->response->redirect('/' . $route); 


Check your real Response headers to see what is different.

I can't get it to work. I make a POST-Request to the same page where the form is located and if form validation is successful i want to redirect to another page.

By using $this->response->redirect i get a 303 statuscode and in the header there is an entry location with the new page

If i use request()->to the location in the header is the same page

I'd omit '/' in return redirect()->to('/' . $route);

Can you just not do return redirect()->to($route) ?

This is also not working. I don't know what i am doing wrong, but the other call is working with the $this->response...

The response header with $this->response->redirect has a location property but with return redirect()->to() the response header has no location property

Ok, i think i know what i am doing wrong.
I made the redirect call in a function which i call in another function and in every function i have to return the redirect object in order to get it to work. Previously i returned the redirect object only in one function

Yes, it is a common mistake.

Important
When you use this function, an instance of RedirectResponse must be returned in the method of the Controller or the Controller Filter. If you forget to return it, no redirection will occur.
