Bug: requests PUT type without segment redirects to index method instead update method

[reszko]

I have created a restful resource to handle my api requests, like this:
$routes->resource('api/categoria', ['controller' => 'Api\Categoria']);

When I make a PUT request, like this:
PUT localhost:8080/api/categoria/5 it works fine, calling the desired method inside the Categoria controller, update, in this case

But, when I make a request without an ID, it redirects to the index method inside the Categoria controller
My intention is when the user doesn't send an ID I will respond him with a fail message telling that an ID is required, but it is not working like that.

How to reproduce the error:

• Fresh installation of CodeIgniter appstarter

• Create a restful resource, like my example

• Create a Controller and two methods inside: index() and update()

• Use Postman to simulate a put request with and without an ID

When you make the request with an ID, it will be redirected to the update method, like expected.
But, when the ID is removed, it redirects to the index() method.

The only way I find out to fix this is creating manually the route that handles the PUT request, like so:

• $routes->put('api/categoria', 'Api\Categoria::update');

Environment: Localhost, windows 10
PHP 7.3.1

This isn’t a big, it’s the predefined routes associated with a ResourceController. See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/incoming/restful.html#presenter-controller-comparison

What would you expect of a PUT to resource root?

[reszko]

I would expect an route error message, telling me that it is a not implemented route, instead showing all my records from the index method.

Am I correct to think like that?

Thank you.

@reszko Change auto route settings to $routes->setAutoRoute(false) in your app/Config/Routes.php file.
