Error 500 (Internal Server Error) ajax and laravel

Question

Hello people I am facing a problem with my comments system in laravel and ajax. Actually it works only with php but i\'m having problems with ajax.

This is the error

Answer 1

It appears my(and Anton's) hunch was correct. You have two conflicting routes.

Route::post('comments/{post_id}', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@store', 'as' => 'comments.store']);

And of course

Route::post('comments/', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@update', 'as' => 'comments.update']);

Because the two routes use roughly the same route, laravel just goes by which is defined first, which is your comments.store route.

There are a couple ways to fix this.

1. Change the order of your routes:

   Route::post('comments/update', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@update', 'as' => 'comments.update']);
   Route::post('comments/{post_id}', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@store', 'as' => 'comments.store']);
   Route::get('comments/{id}/edit', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@edit', 'as' => 'comments.edit']);
   

2. Use route constraints:

   Route::post('comments/{post_id}', [
       'uses' => 'CommentsController@store',
        'as' => 'comments.store'
   ])->where(['post_id' => '[0-9]+']);;
   Route::get('comments/{id}/edit', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@edit', 'as' => 'comments.edit']);
   Route::post('comments/update', ['uses' => 'CommentsController@update', 'as' => 'comments.update']);
   

Of note, I don't know how the Facade registrar handles the casing(lower, upper) of facade methods.. So in an effort to not cause further bugs, I used the lower casing of POST, just as it is used in the documentation.
