routes/web route me to another route - php

Question

My web doesn't seem to be directing to the correct page.
Here is my blade
<div class="container">
<div class="col-lg-12 d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center">
<h2>Informations</h2>
<a href="{{ route('add-new-information') }}" class="btn text-success">
<i class="fas fa-plus-circle fa-2x"></i>
</a>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="row d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center mt-5" style="max-height: 500px !important; overflow-y: scroll">
#foreach ($informations as $info)
<div class="card col-sm-11 p-0 mb-4 clickable-item" onclick='window.location = "{{ route('admin-informations', ['id' => $info->id]) }}"'>
...
</div>
#endforeach
</div>
</div>
Here is my routes/web
Auth::routes();
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth'], 'prefix' => '/',], function () {
Route::get('/', function () {
return redirect('/home');
});
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function() {
Route::get('/informations', [App\Http\Controllers\InformationController::class, 'index'])->name('informations');
Route::get('/informations/{id}', [App\Http\Controllers\InformationController::class, 'indexAdminInfo'])->name('admin-informations');
Route::get('/informations/add-new-information', [App\Http\Controllers\InformationController::class, 'add'])->name('add-new-information');
});
});
and here is my controller
public function indexAdminInfo($id){
$information = Information::find($id);
// $comments = Comment::where('information_id', $id)->orderByDesc('created_at')->get();
$ack_count = Acknowledge::where('information_id', $id)->count();
$user_ack = Acknowledge::where([
['information_id', '=', $id],
['user_id', '=', Auth::user()->id],
])->first();
$ack = 'FALSE';
if($user_ack != null){
$ack = 'TRUE';
}
return view('adminviews/infoadmin', compact('information', 'ack_count', 'ack', 'user_ack'));
}
public function add(){
return view('adminviews/addinfo');
}
For some reason, when I click the a tag with the href {{ route('add-new-information') }} to go to the add page 'adminviews/addinfo',
instead the page will go to the 'adminviews/infoadmin' page, which will cause an error, because no parameters are being sent.
I tried checking the code, but it looks correct to me. Can anybody find an error on this?

Answer 1

the problem is with your routes:
these two routes are ambiguous:
Route::get('/informations/{id}');
Route::get('/informations/add-new-information');
just think of below scenario:
router wants to route, this url : /information/add-new-information
router will hit the first defined route, because it is compatible with the definition ('/informations/{id}')
Note :{id} is a variable and can be any string
so it will go with this.
Solution
write the more restricted route first,
and more general route later:
Route::get('/informations/add-new-information');
Route::get('/informations/{id}');
