NotFoundHttpException in Handler.php line 131: laravel - laravel

Question

For some reason I'm getting this error
NotFoundHttpException in Handler.php line 131: No query results for model [App\Modules\Menus\Models\Menu].
I shouldn't be getting this error since I'm not referencing the menu model at all in my dashboard function.
I've done route:clear and route:cache without any success.
Here is my CustomersController
namespace App\Modules\Customers\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Modules\Menus\Models\Menu;
use App\Modules\Customers\Models\Customer;
use DB;
use Validator;
Use Mail;
use Auth;
class CustomersController extends Controller
{
public function login(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if(auth('customer_admin')->attempt(array('email' => $request->input('email'), 'password' => $request->input('password'))))
{
if(auth()->guard('customer_admin')->user()->is_activated == '0')
{
$this->logout();
return back()->with('error', 'Please activate your account.');
}
return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}else{
return back()->with('error', 'Your email/password combination is wrong.');
}
}
public function dashboard()
{
echo "dashboard";
}
}
My web.php routes
Route::get('/signup', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#signup',
'as' => 'customer.signup'
]);
Route::post('/signup', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#postSignup',
'as' => 'post.signup'
]);
Route::get('customer/activation/{token}', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#customerActivation',
'as' => 'activation',
]);
Route::post('/login', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#login',
'as' => 'login'
]);
// CUSTOMER LOGIN
Route::get('/dashboard', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#dashboard',
'as' => 'dashboard'
]);
Route::get('/logout', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#logout',
'as' => 'logout'
]);

Answer 1

I see:
Route::post('/login', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#login',
'as' => 'login'
]);
How about the respective:
Route::get('/login', [
'uses' => 'CustomersController#loginPage',
'as' => 'page.login'
]);
You could also redirect the user to login route when they hit dashboard route.
public function dashboard()
{
return redirect("login"); //redirect to login page
}
As an aside, re-arrange your use statements to:
use DB;
Use Mail;
use Auth;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Modules\Menus\Models\Menu;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Modules\Customers\Models\Customer;
This has nothing to do with the error you are having, its just a good practice. My answer to your question is in your routes file like shown above.

Answer 2

I assume you're using Laravel 5.2 given the routes file named web.php
Your routes are loaded into RouteServiceProvider and it assumes all the controllers are located under namespace App\Http\Controllers
I've noticed that your controller is under App\Modules\Customers\Http\Controllers namespace.
So the correct way to define routes for it is specifying the complete namespace to it. See the example:
<?php
Route::get('/signup', [
'uses' => '\App\Modules\Customers\Http\Controllers\CustomersController#signup',
'as' => 'customer.signup'
]);
Another (and better) way is to define a dedicated RouteServiceProvider for each "module" of your application. Check your default provider under app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php file to know how it works.
