Laravel: REJECT ROUTE not defined but exists in web.php - laravel

Question

I have a reject function in my Calendar controller but whenever I redirect to the view page it displays an error saying my route is not defined.
I've tried rearranging and renaming my route but it's still displaying the error.
Here is my form:
{!! Form::open(['url' => route('therapist.reject.appointment', $bookingRequest), 'method' => 'delete', 'onsubmit' => 'javascript:return confirm("Are you sure?")']) !!}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning btn-block">Reject this appointment</button>
{{csrf_field()}}
{!! Form::close() !!}
Here are my routes. The other routes displayed are working perfectly:
Route::get('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}', 'TherapistCalander')->name('therapist.calendar');
Route::post('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#saveAppointment')->name('therapist.book.appointment');
Route::patch('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#finishedAppointment')->name('therapist.finish.appointment');
Route::delete('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#rejectAppointment')->name('therapist.reject.appointment');
Route::delete('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#cancelAppointment')->name('therapist.cancel.appointment');
And lastly, my function:
public function rejectAppointment(Request $request, BookingRequest $bookingRequest)
{
$bookingRequest->reject();
return redirect()->back()->with('rejectStatus', true);
}
The view page where this button belongs should be able to display the buttons for rejecting and finishing, alongside the calendar view.
EDIT
Follow up question: Is it possibly because the routes are similar to one another? If so, how do I fix this?

Answer 1

Try to change the Reject and Cancel the url string because it is similar.
Route::delete(
'therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}/delete',
'TherapistCalander#rejectAppointment'
)->name('therapist.reject.appointment');
Route::delete(
'therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#cancelAppointment'
)->name('therapist.cancel.appointment');

Answer 2

Change your code to
{!! Form::open(['url' => route('therapist.reject.appointment', ['bookingRequest' => $bookingRequest]), 'method' => 'delete', 'onsubmit' => 'javascript:return confirm("Are you sure?")']) !!}
{{csrf_field()}}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning btn-block">Reject this appointment</button>
{!! Form::close() !!}
The route parameters are passed as an array and that should work fine. Refer doc
Can you try this code
<form action="{{ route('therapist.reject.appointment', ['bookingRequest' => $bookingRequest]) }}" method="POST">
#method('DELETE')
#csrf
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning btn-block">Reject this appointment</button>
</form>

Answer 3

UPDATE
PROBLEM FIXED
I realized since they have similar links, web.php found it confusing so it did not read this route.
That is why I changed my route from:
Route::delete('therapist-calendar/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#rejectAppointment')->name('therapist.reject.appointment');
To this:
Route::delete('doReject/{bookingRequest}',
'TherapistCalander#rejectAppointment')->name('therapist.reject.appointment');
