Here's my routes.php
file:
Route::get('advertise', ['as' => 'advertise', 'uses' => 'AdvertiseController@index']);
Here's the relevant part of the App\Exceptions\Handler.php
file:
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
switch ($e)
{
case ($e instanceof AdvertiserNotFoundException):
return redirect()->route('advertise')->with('status', 'Advertiser not found.');
default:
return parent::render($request, $e);
}
}
Here's how I'm (trying to) display the message:
@if (session('status'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('status') }}
</div>
@endif
It is correctly catching the AdvertiserNotFoundException
and redirecting to the route advertise
but the response isn't carrying any flash data.
I'm not including the web middleware as all routes are covered by it by default.
EDIT 1
Here's the error log if it helps:
