Method not allowed exeption after dpoing a post request on a post route

This is my route

    Route::post('feedback', function () {
  
    });

And I'm doing a request to domain.test/api/feedback in Postman but I'm getting back this error

Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException: The GET method is not supported for route api/feedback. Supported methods: POST. in file C:\Users\m\jbd\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Routing\AbstractRouteCollection.php on line 122

Any clue why this happens? so weird...

The error message suggests that the request being made is a GET request instead of a POST request. Double-check the request method being used in Postman to ensure that it is a POST request.

If the request method is correct, try clearing the route cache by running the following command in the terminal:

php artisan route:clear

If the issue persists, try renaming the route to something else and see if that resolves the issue.

Route::post('submit-feedback', function () {
  
});

If none of these solutions work, it may be helpful to provide more information about the code and environment being used.

@Dave Wize are you sure you have it in the correct file, the api routes.

Are you trying to GET or POST? The route is set for a POST request. But you were doing a GET request in postman

the error is often caused because you have a validation error, and you did not set the header Accept: application/json

The validation error occurs and instead of getting a json payload, Laravel tries to redirect to a route with the same url but as a get request. By default Postman tries to follow the redirect and then the error you see is thrown

@Snapey Thanks for your reply.

My Accept header was actually on /*/, and I updated it to application/json

But the error is still here.

You might be correct that validation is causing the issue, but I don't know what header can help here. I thought the full error page might be useful to troubleshoot but it is very long. Accept my apologies for that.
