Event don't work like that. An event is called as a background task and therefore the redirect will never fire in the controller.
You need to do that check in your controller and based on that redirect the user!
I have a reset_password field within my users table that is set to '1' when a user account is created . When a user logs in I check this field and if set to '1' within an event. I want to redirect from the event if the field is set to '1'.
I have tried:
return redirect()->route('user/change_password');
and in my routes file I have set Route::get('user/change_password', 'UserController@resetpasswordform');
but this returns an error of: InvalidArgumentException in UrlGenerator.php line 306: Route [user/change_password] not defined.
I have also tried this return redirect()->action('UserController@resetpasswordform');
but this is just ignores the redirect and logs the user in. I have set a dd('hello'); within the method but this does nothing.
I have tried changing the redirect for an authenticated user and if the field is not set to 1 then follows this redirect, but if the field is set to 1 it ignores this.
I am at a loss as to the route that this redirect is taking
any help greatly appreciated
