When requested, the route goes to the wrong controller, what could be the problem?

Question

Laravel

Route::prefix('records')
                    ->namespace('Records')
                    ->as('records.')->group(function () {
                        Route::get('/', '[email protected]')->name('index');

                        Route::prefix('{file}')
                            ->as('file.')->group(function () {
                            Route::get('/', '[email protected]')->name('show');
                            Route::post('/', '[email protected]')->name('take');
                            Route::put('/', '[email protected]')->name('update');
                        });

                        Route::prefix('messages')->as('messages.')->group(function () {
                            Route::post('/', '[email protected]')->name('index');
                            Route::put('/', '[email protected]')->name('store');
                            Route::prefix('{message}')->group(function () {
                                Route::delete('/', '[email protected]')->name('destroy');
                            });
                        });
                    });

When I ajax with the records.file.show route to records.messages.store, it throws an error that occurs because the records.messages.store route goes to the wrong controller? What can go wrong?

Answer 1

Set prefix messages before prefix {file}. And another controller works for you, since "messages" gets into {file} - and this is any value. If you set prefix messages earlier, then the controller you need will be in priority.
