What happened?

I already have a working project, in version 4.5.8 with autoRoute true, and I went to update to 4.6.0 and the automatic route stopped, I noticed that it only worked in the manual route, I tried to modify it but without success.

Expected Output

Anything else?

It may be some new change that has happened, but I couldn't find it in the CHANGELOG.

Can you give us a clear example of what worked in v4.5.8 and stopped in v4.6.0?

What is the controller and method you're using to test this?

[Anderson-Nascimento-Mendonca]

like in this home controller, when I access the home it will redirect to the login controller, in version 4.6.0 I get a return saying that the login controller was not found, I use autorouter true, so it is automatic, and in this version it does not work unless I put a manual route in the routes.php file.

but in version 4.5.8 this way it works with an automatic route, without needing to put a manual route in the routes.php file

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce the problem.

Here are my steps - using the appstarter with v4.6.0 - of course, app\Config\Routing::autoRoute is enabled (but no other changes were made)

// app\Config\Routes.php (no changes here but I will include it to be clear)
<?php

use CodeIgniter\Router\RouteCollection;

/**
 * @var RouteCollection $routes
 */
$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');

// app\Controllers\Home.php
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return redirect()->to('/login');
    }
}

// app\Controllers\Login.php
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class Login extends BaseController
{
    public function getIndex()
    {
        var_dump('login::index');
    }
}

Entering the Home controller / gets me redirected to the /login without any problems.

Can you provide more details or context? Are the steps I provided accurate and does the same problem still occur on a new installation after following them?

Record a video of how I do it here, the same way I did in the video works in version 4.5.8

Sorry, but I won't download any files from "random" people on the Internet. If you can post it somewhere where I can view it online, I will.

Please follow the steps from my previous post and tell me if they are correct or if I should add something to reproduce the problem.

[Anderson-Nascimento-Mendonca]

This is the same way you did it, the only difference when passing a var_dump I put an echo to display any message.
ok, I'll attach a link to play the video online.

Ok, seems like you missed the information that in v4.6.0 autoRoutesImproved is enabled by default: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_460.html#config

To use auto-routes legacy, you have to set app\Config\Feature::$autoRoutesImproved to false.

[Anderson-Nascimento-Mendonca]

Okay, thank you very much, I apologize, I really hadn't seen that change, as I mentioned in the topic if there was any update that I wasn't aware of, sorry.

[michalsn]

No worries, I should have asked about it earlier.
