Laravel5 won't match route edit_user/{id} - laravel

Question

please, could you help me a bit?
I have this route in Laravel5:
Route::get('edit_user/{userId}', [
'as' => 'editUser',
'uses' => 'Auth\UserController#editUser'
]);
But when I try to go onto url .../edit_user/19 it wont match and redirect me into /home url...
Anyway, when I use this:
Route::get('edit_user/{userId}', [
'as' => 'editUser',
function($userId) {
die($userId);
}
]);
It returns 19.
Here is also my function:
public function editUser($userId) {
die($userId);
}
Here is also part of my controller:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Models\User;
use Auth;
use Hash;
use Mail;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
class UserController extends Controller {
/**
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
}
/**
*
* show edit user form
*
* #param $id
*/
public function editUser($userId) {
die($userId);
}
Do you know any idea, where might be problem?
Thank you very much for your opinions.
EDIT:
I find out solution -> need to edit exception to auth in __construct.

Answer 1

This should work with the code provided.
Check the following items:
1. Do you have this code in the __construct of your UsersController?
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
If so, you need to be lagged in to edit the user.
2. Is there any route listed before edit_user/{userId} that would override this route.
Try moving it to be the very first route.
3. Is you UserController namespaced properly?
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
