I tried the command php artisan route:list to check the routes but I get this error message:

So why this error occurs, how can I fix it?

This Is The Web Route Page

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Auth::routes(['verify'=>true]);

Route::get('/user' ,[indexController::class , 'index'])->middleware('auth' ,'check.user')->name('user');

Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

Route::middleware('auth','check.user')->prefix("user")->group(function() {

    Route::get('/addToCart/{product}', [App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController::class, 'addToCart'])->name('cart.add');

    Route::get('shopping-cart', [App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController::class, 'showcart'])->name('cart.show');

    Route::resource("/profile", 'App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController');

    Route::resource("product", [App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController::class , 'product']);

    Route::get('/search', [App\Http\Controllers\SearchController::class, 'index'])->name('search');
});

Answer 1

Your definition for the product resource is incorrect. You should adjust it to passing a string as the second argument:

Route::resource('product', App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController::class);

The second argument to resource is a string, which is the Controller. There is no method specified as resources are particular things which define individual routes with actions to multiple methods of that particular controller.

Though, you already have profile using this Controller and defined as a resource so not sure the reason to then have the same routes but as the product resource.

Perhaps you meant to just create a GET route for that one method?:

Route::get('product', [App\Http\Controllers\User\indexController::class, 'product'])->name('product');
