Redirection Issues with resource routes being non standard

[barelyhuman]

Issue

The issue is probably with the router since it seems to be trying to send the user back to the show method which isn't registered in the resource and added in except.

So, with the code example attached below, the expected flow is like so
profile.index is rendered => User modifies data => profile.update is called with the new data => User is redirected to profile.index and the new data is visible.

With the current flow, the first part works as updated but it redirects back to profile/:id instead.

I do have turbolinks in the app.

If turbolinks in enabled on the form (default behaviour)

• the update goes through but redirection fails as it redirects back to the PUT request on the /profile url

If turbolinks is disabled on this one form

• the redirections fail altogether

If turbolinks is not a part of the bundle

• the redirections and form submission fail as well

	      user: userDetails.serialize(),
		})
	}

	  public async update({
	    request,
	    response,
	    session,
	    auth,
	  }: HttpContextContract) {
	    const user = await User.find(auth.user!.id)
	    // modify users
	    await user!.save()
	    session.flash('message', 'Updated Profile')
	    return response.redirect().toRoute('ProfilesController.index')
	  }

Hey @barelyhuman! 👋🏻

The error is inside your view file.

<form method="PUT" class="flex flex-col gap-3" action="{{  route('ProfilesController.update',{ id: user.id }) }}"  data-turbo="false">

HTML Form only works with POST or GET method and defaults to GET.
In your case, you are using a PUT. Therefore, your form default to a GET request to the /profiles/:id endpoint.

If you want to use the PUT method for your form, you must use method spoofing.

<form method="POST" action="/posts/1?_method=PUT"></form>
