Laravel Nova, route not found

Question

I've installed Laravel Nova (using Laravel 5.6). App\Providers\NovaServiceProvider::class is registered in my config/app.php file. But when I go to https://localhost:1234/nova I get a 404 error.

I have cleared my caches and run a composer dump-autoload. How can I get this route working?

EDIT: When I run php artisan route:list the nova-api routes are there but there is no route for nova.

Also, the migrations were not copied across after nova:install. I am working with an existing Laravel project.

Did you run php artisan nova:install? – Zadazadack

@ChinLeung Yes - that's how I got App\Providers\NovaServiceProvider::class in the config/app.php file. – Bula

as you told nova works only for api requests not in browser right? – Seclude

this is a test version of this nova dashboard which i would never pay money for it. – Axle

Do you have the file config/nova.php? – Zadazadack

@ChinLeung Yes. – Bula

@ChinLeung If it makes a difference, I am using Passport in the app. – Bula

Hmm.. Are you caching your config by any chance? Did you try php artisan config:clear? – Zadazadack

@ChinLeung You are right! Please write it as an answer & I will mark it correct. – Bula

Answer 1

You have to clear the config cache for the changes to actually apply:

php artisan config:clear

Answer 2

Verify App\Providers\NovaServiceProvider is in your provider list.

• Go to config/app.php
• Add App\Providers\NovaServiceProvider::class, to the providers

Without this, it is possible to see the Nova panel, though it remains empty. A fresh install at this time will show a "Help" Card on the Dashboard.

Answer 3

I ran into this problem too. Add Nova::routes(); to your routes/web.php and reload /nova in your browser.

Some progress. Now I get Trying to get property of non-object (View: /app/resources/views/vendor/nova/partials/user.blade.php). – Bula

Are you authenticated ? This partial is trying to get email and name from the authenticated user. – Heartwhole

Answer 4

If you have disabled Package Discovery / Autodiscover by adjusting your composer.json like so:

"extra": {
    "laravel": {
        "dont-discover": [
            "*"
        ]
    }
}

You need to add the the NovaCoreServiceProvider and Nova alias to your config/app.php manually.

'providers' => [
    Laravel\Nova\NovaCoreServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
    'Nova' => Laravel\Nova\Nova::class,
]

If you look at the composer.json of laravel/nova in your vendor folder you can see this:

"extra": {
    "laravel": {
        "providers": [
            "Laravel\\Nova\\NovaCoreServiceProvider"
        ],
        "aliases": {
            "Nova": "Laravel\\Nova\\Nova"
        }
    }
},

Answer 5

From Taylor (if you are using an earlier version than Nova 1.0.1):

If you are having issues with Nova not registering a /nova route when using "php artisan serve"... try upgrading Nova and updating your route registration in your NovaServiceProvider to match this image... (add "register" on end of chain).

Answer 8

I realize it has been some time since this was posted, and there are other answers, but today I encountered the same problem a fresh install seemingly out of nowhere and resolved it by adding

\Laravel\Nova\NovaCoreServiceProvider::class to the providers array in config/app.php.

After doing so, I ran artisan route:clear to clear and rebuild the route cache, and the problem was resolved.

I have no idea what could have caused this issue, as I've bootstrapped multiple new laravel projects with nova the exact same way and never encountered this issue.

Answer 9

One option is to debug to check all Nova routes. Add the lines above in the NovaServiceProvider class boot() function.

    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        Nova::serving(function (ServingNova $event) {
            $request = $event->request;
            \Log::debug(Nova::resourceInformation($request));
        }
