Namespaced routes not working in Laravel 5 - php

Question

I'm building an international website, therefore I managed to have URLs looking like /{language}/{other_stuff} thank to some manipulation in RouteServiceProvider
/**
* Define the routes for the application.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Routing\Router $router
* #return void
*/
public function map(Router $router, Request $request)
{
$locale = $request->segment(1);
$this->app->setLocale($locale);
/**
* Internationalization routing system
*/
$router->group(['namespace' => $this->namespace, 'prefix' => $locale], function($router) use ($locale) {
if ($locale == 'en') require app_path('Http/routes_en.php');
elseif ($locale == 'el') require app_path('Http/routes_el.php');
});
}
Works like a charm. Every language will have his own route file, it's a choice.
Let's say we go to /en/ and you're an admin, I created another namespace within Http/route_en.php to focus on the admin section :
Route::group(['namespace' => 'Admin', 'prefix' => 'admin'], function() {
Route::controller('', 'DashboardController');
Route::controller('brands', 'BrandsController');
Route::controller('contents', 'ContentsController');
Route::controller('downloads', 'DownloadsController');
Route::controller('news', 'NewsController');
Route::controller('products', 'ProductsController');
Route::controller('settings', 'SettingsController');
Route::controller('users', 'UsersController');
});
So now I should access easily sections such as /en/admin/brands but it fails. I generate all my links dynamically thanks to the HTML class
{!! HTML::linkAction('Admin\BrandsController#getIndex', 'Brands') !!}
The generation works fine when I go to /en/admin which means Admin\BrandsController#getIndex is detected by this package, but when you click on it
Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.
I tested some stuff and when I just simply set the route outside group() it works fine.
Route::controller('admin/brands', 'Admin\BrandsController');
What am I missing here ? Shouldn't the HTML class and the routing system agree with each others ? Is there any mistake I made ? Maybe there's an issue ?
EDIT : I opened an issue for this problem on GitHub

Answer 1

So nobody tried to help me.
After a few days, an issue and many tests I understood the problem by myself : you have to put the DashboardController route at the end otherwise the routing system will take it first and ignore the other ones.
/**
* Admin
*/
Route::group(['namespace' => 'Admin', 'prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => 'is.admin'], function() {
Route::controller('news', 'NewsController');
Route::controller('brands', 'BrandsController');
Route::controller('products', 'ProductsController');
Route::controller('users', 'UsersController');
Route::controller('downloads', 'DownloadsController');
Route::controller('settings', 'SettingsController');
Route::controller('contents', 'ContentsController');
Route::controller('', 'DashboardController');
});
NOTE : Everything will seem alright in the route listing, and even in the HTML/Form packages, but it's not.
I let it here for anybody that would have similar problems.
