php artisan route:list returns error

Hi, I wanted to see all my routes, so I typed:

'php artisan route:list'

And I get this error:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
  Call to a member function getName() on a non-object

I looked it up in the log files, the problem is inside of a controller. This line is causing the error:

$this->routeName = $request->route()->getName();

$request->route() somehow returns 'null' but I don't know why :/

I don't know where I should start looking to fix this problem that's why I can't really give any other information. Maybe you have an idea?

Thank you

you are calling that in one of your controllers right? Otherwise it wouldn't throw that error..

But it worked this way for quite a while now. What changed?

Is there a better way to get the route's name?

When you run route:list you are not accessing a route so the function fails. You can simply check if route exists before you get the name

$this->routeName = $request->route() ? $request->route()->getName() : '';
