Error messages not showing up about centaur

[rydurham]

Hello! Let's see what we can figure out.

You can check the contents of the errors variable by adding this line to your primary template:

{!! var_dump($errors->getMessages()) !!}

Try adding that and running those tests again. If you see the errors in the var_dump but not in the html then there is a problem with how they are being displayed. If you don't see them there at all then there is a problem with how they are being returned from the controllers.

I haven't modified any of the original templates so I added your line below @yield('content') in the layout.blade file.

In all pages, all tests return this variable as an empty array.

I recorded a short screencast demonstrating step-by-step what I'm doing and the problem happening in real time. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the video! That was very helpful. I believe I know what the problem is.

When Laravel 5.2 was released it included the ability to create middleware groups, with the idea being that you could specify one set of middleware to be used for browser access and another for direct api access, or something else like that. It used to be that the routes in the routes file had to be added to the "Web" group manually in order for them to work as expected. However, a later version of 5.2 changed the setup so that routes in the routes file were included in the web group by default.

The centaur readme still has instructions that say to explictly assign the centaur routes to the "web" middleware group, but that is no longer necessary. Remove the Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () { lines from your routes file and everything should work as expected. I will update the readme as well.

// app/Http/routes.php

// Authorization
Route::get('/login', ['as' => 'auth.login.form', 'uses' => 'Auth\SessionController@getLogin']);
Route::post('/login', ['as' => 'auth.login.attempt', 'uses' => 'Auth\SessionController@postLogin']);
Route::get('/logout', ['as' => 'auth.logout', 'uses' => 'Auth\SessionController@getLogout']);

// Registration
Route::get('register', ['as' => 'auth.register.form', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegistrationController@getRegister']);
Route::post('register', ['as' => 'auth.register.attempt', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegistrationController@postRegister']);

// Activation
Route::get('activate/{code}', ['as' => 'auth.activation.attempt', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegistrationController@getActivate']);
Route::get('resend', ['as' => 'auth.activation.request', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegistrationController@getResend']);
Route::post('resend', ['as' => 'auth.activation.resend', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegistrationController@postResend']);

// Password Reset
Route::get('password/reset/{code}', ['as' => 'auth.password.reset.form', 'uses' => 'Auth\PasswordController@getReset']);
Route::post('password/reset/{code}', ['as' => 'auth.password.reset.attempt', 'uses' => 'Auth\PasswordController@postReset']);
Route::get('password/reset', ['as' => 'auth.password.request.form', 'uses' => 'Auth\PasswordController@getRequest']);
Route::post('password/reset', ['as' => 'auth.password.request.attempt', 'uses' => 'Auth\PasswordController@postRequest']);

// Users
Route::resource('users', 'UserController');

// Roles
Route::resource('roles', 'RoleController');

// Dashboard
Route::get('dashboard', ['as' => 'dashboard', 'uses' => function() {
    return view('centaur.dashboard');
}]);

Yep, that did it!

Thank you for your help, Ryan!

I was installer centaur in Laravel 5.4, however, because my email sender not yet configured, so i cannot use a new registered account without following activation link. I would like to know, what is the default account of admin and user in centaur?

[rydurham]

The default account data can be found here: https://github.com/SRLabs/Centaur/blob/master/seeds/SentinelDatabaseSeeder.php

These accounts will only be available if you have run the seeder.
