Bug: url_to() does not take into account the default namespace

[ivanBell199]

Describe the bug
The example from the docs echo url_to('Home::index'); does not work. Instead it needs to be url_to('App\Controllers\Home::index') .

However if I have a folder inside "Controllers" I still cannot get the path. For example, url_to('App\Controllers\Admin\Categories::index') throws error Controller or its method is not found: App\Controllers\Admin\Categories::index
Am I missing something?

CodeIgniter v4.1.3

The first argument of the function should be a class and function name,not a path. The example works for a class Home with method index. In your case , the class name needs to be fully qualified, i.e. you should provide the complete class name including the namespace.

I am sorry. Didn't figure out that url_to() only works if the route is stated insite Config/Routes.

the bug still has not been fixed, you have to patch it yourself

This seems a bug in the documentation.

1. The first argument of the function should be a fully qualified classname and function name
2. This function uses reverse routing, that is you need to define the route.

You may be right. But look at the routes->add() declaration, right there $routes->add('blog/joe', 'Blogs::users/34'); there no namespace

@szajens You have a point. The behaviors are not consistent.

@szajens I sent a PR to fix. #5936
