Laravel redirect does not work at all
Am trying to return redirect back after saving a record to DB but it fails. Generally only the login redirect and home are working. Return view is also working fine . This is what I have tried:
return redirect()->back()->with('success',"Product updated successfully");
I have also tried using return redirect('main/products'); but still doesn't work. I also tried using the return Redirect::to('main/products'); but still nop!
However, if I inspect on the browser under response, I can see that the html code of the view is return, just not displayed.
Yes I Know, seems simple but its frustrating me. Since it's affecting my entire system am guessing there is something am missing its not the syntax. I appreciate your help
Level 1
public function updateProducts(){
request()->validate([
'name'=>'required',
'description'=>'required'
]);
$product=Product::findOrFail(\request('id'));
$product->name=\request('name');
$product->description=\request('description');
$product->save();
return redirect()->back()->with('success',"Product updated successfully");
}
This is the entire method
Level 1
am also new to laracasts, kindly forgive my way of posting code
Level 122
does the product get saved?
Level 1
Yeah, it's saved correctly
Level 4
can you paste the whole controller?
Level 13
Use as like below whether redirect() or back(),
return redirect()->with('success',"Product updated successfully");
Level 122
is updateProducts mentioned in your route, or is this function called from another controller method?
Level 13
Else can try like below,
return Redirect::back()->with('success',"Product updated successfully");
Level 1
Yes its in the route
$controller = "Main\ProductsController@";
Route::post('/main/products/update',$controller.'updateProducts');
Level 122
Does it redirect back correctly if you have a validation error?

@Snapey New development, I inspected on the browser and found that the view is actually been return as response. The problem is that it does not refresh page to display new content. I have an image I don't know how to share it here
Level 1
Thanks @munazzil. This returns the response but doesn't reload the page with new content. The browser doesn't reload which makes me suspect it could be problem. lemme try another browser

Level 4
@johnie55 can you post the view file

The modal is the one I use for updating. This issue is everywhere in the entire system not just this part. Redirects only return response but don't reload the page
Level 4
did you used any package
Level 73
Remove this
{!!Form::autoForm(\App\Models\Main\Product::class,"main/system/products/update")!!}
And replace it with proper form code.
Level 1
@aswinghosh . Didn't get you there, am using several packages I have installed using composer like swap,turbolinks, fixer e.t.c
Level 13
I don't know why you used to assign a variable $controller in your route use as like below and check,
Route::post('/main/products/update','Main\ProductsController@updateProducts');
Level 4
why are you using autoForm. You can use traditional form instead .I think your controller is fine.

@tray2 am still having the error
Level 1
Have tried this. Didn't work either. I used variable coz I have many routes on same file sharing same controller. It's easier for me
Level 1
Good news: I fixed the problem. Bad news: It was a silly mistake.
I had put an HTML line of code at the end of my resources blade to test if all resources were being loaded by console logging the value. This is the line I had added:
<input type="hidden" name="material_page_loaded" value="1">
</body>
</html>
Sorry guys I took your time for this. I appreciate your help.
Level 4
Good luck with your project.Have a nice day
Level 1
Thanks @aswinghosh. Have a nice day too
