L5 Paypal Integration - Finding Controller method - laravel

Question

I am trying to integrate Paypal into my Laravel 5 site using this package:
http://packalyst.com/packages/package/netshell/paypal
When I go to: /paypal/checkout though, I get this error:
InvalidArgumentException in UrlGenerator.php line 561: Action
App\Http\Controllers\PayPalController#getDone not defined.
This is my route:
Route::get('/paypal/checkout', [
'as' => 'get-paypal-checkout', 'uses' => 'PayPalController#getCheckout'
]);
And this is the PayPalController:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Paypal;
use Redirect;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class PayPalController extends Controller {
private $_apiContext;
public function __construct() {
$this->_apiContext = PayPal::ApiContext(
config('services.paypal.client_id'),
config('services.paypal.secret'));
$this->_apiContext->setConfig(array(
'mode' => 'sandbox',
'service.EndPoint' => 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com',
'http.ConnectionTimeOut' => 30,
'log.LogEnabled' => true,
'log.FileName' => storage_path('logs/paypal.log'),
'log.LogLevel' => 'FINE'
));
}
public function getCheckout() {
$payer = PayPal::Payer();
$payer->setPaymentMethod('paypal');
$amount = PayPal:: Amount();
$amount->setCurrency('EUR');
$amount->setTotal(42); // This is the simple way,
// you can alternatively describe everything in the order separately;
// Reference the PayPal PHP REST SDK for details.
$transaction = PayPal::Transaction();
$transaction->setAmount($amount);
$transaction->setDescription('What are you selling?');
$redirectUrls = PayPal:: RedirectUrls();
$redirectUrls->setReturnUrl(action('PayPalController#getDone'));
$redirectUrls->setCancelUrl(action('PayPalController#getCancel'));
$payment = PayPal::Payment();
$payment->setIntent('sale');
$payment->setPayer($payer);
$payment->setRedirectUrls($redirectUrls);
$payment->setTransactions(array($transaction));
$response = $payment->create($this->_apiContext);
$redirectUrl = $response->links[1]->href;
return Redirect::to( $redirectUrl );
}
public function getDone(Request $request) {
$id = $request->get('paymentId');
$token = $request->get('token');
$payer_id = $request->get('PayerID');
$payment = PayPal::getById($id, $this->_apiContext);
$paymentExecution = PayPal::PaymentExecution();
$paymentExecution->setPayerId($payer_id);
$executePayment = $payment->execute($paymentExecution, $this->_apiContext);
// Clear the shopping cart, write to database, send notifications, etc.
// Thank the user for the purchase
return view('checkout.done');
}
public function getCancel() {
// Curse and humiliate the user for cancelling this most sacred payment (yours)
return view('checkout.cancel');
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Although laravel allows you to generate url's to actions. I researched what happened in the code.
In the UrlGenerator class:
/**
* Get the URL to a controller action.
*
* #param string $action
* #param mixed $parameters
* #param bool $absolute
* #return string
*
* #throws \InvalidArgumentException
*/
public function action($action, $parameters = [], $absolute = true)
{
if ($this->rootNamespace && !(strpos($action, '\\') === 0)) {
$action = $this->rootNamespace.'\\'.$action;
} else {
$action = trim($action, '\\');
}
if (!is_null($route = $this->routes->getByAction($action))) {
return $this->toRoute($route, $parameters, $absolute);
}
throw new InvalidArgumentException("Action {$action} not defined.");
}
It will search for a defined route with the specified action and in fact returns a link based on that route. So you would have to define the route to PayPayController#getDone for it to work.
