Symfony2: No route found for "GET /lucky/number"

Question

I start the tutorial (as newbie) and everythings works fine till:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/page_creation.html#creating-a-page-route-and-controller at step Creating a Page: Route and Controller

I have created a file called /var/www/html/[projekt]/src/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php

but when I open http://[Server-IP]:8000/app_dev.php/lucky/number is always get a 404:

No route found for "GET /lucky/number"
404 Not Found - NotFoundHttpException
1 linked Exception: ResourceNotFoundException »

[2/2] NotFoundHttpException: No route found for "GET /lucky/number"   +
[1/2] ResourceNotFoundException:    +

routing.yml

app: 
    resource: "@AppBundle/Controller/" 
    type: annotation

Controller

namespace AppBundle\Controller; 

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class LuckyController 
{ 

    /**
     * @Route("/lucky/number") 
     */
    public function numberAction() 
    { 
        $number = rand(0, 100);
        return new Response( '<html><body>Lucky number: '.$number.'</body></html>' ); 
    }
}

No idea where is the mistake...

Don't post your files in the comments. Edit your post and add your code. — Abdelaziz Dabebi, Aug 10 '15 at 12:28
@MarcelBurkhard Is there a way to find out if it uses annotations? Sorry I am a realy newbie in Symfony. — Atreides78, Aug 10 '15 at 13:07
open app/config/routing.yml and add ```type: annotation``` where your bundles is configured. Then clear cache. — Marcel Burkhard, Aug 10 '15 at 14:41
Also you might need to enable it on a "global" basis, if it isn't already: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/validation.html#configuration — Marcel Burkhard, Aug 10 '15 at 14:42
@MarcelBurkhard: Both already configured in the way you descriebed it. — Atreides78, Aug 10 '15 at 15:22
Add some regular yml routes in the same routing.yml and see if they show up. — user2268997, Aug 10 '15 at 19:25
@Rhim: Just try your proposal and it works. Thanks everyone. — Atreides78, Aug 11 '15 at 06:01

Well... that's not strange at all. If there was no opening php tag in the file - there was no php _code_ in the file either, and no annotation to be found and parsed. – AD7six Aug 11 '15 at 06:13

I have to admit it's an odd error in symfonys part, those tags aren't in the example and we don't know what's opening that file so we can't know if they are necessary or not... perhaps it has to do with how php is configured too... I dont know – Flying Turtle May 15 '17 at 06:56

This problem is answered in symfony's github [Missing php header in the first script src/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php](https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs/issues/6116). They refused to add a hint for newbees because they think this is a basic knowledge for php coder. I wasted 2 hr for this. – flm8620 Jul 11 '17 at 00:34

Try this URL:

http://[Server-IP]:8000/app_dev.php/en/lucky/number

There's a bug in the Symfony Book: they forgot the demo app support i18n.

Just add the "/en" parameter before the routing ones.

I know this question it's closed but I hope my answer can help others that are still facing this problem.

Sometimes is a cache problem. Try to remove dev folder from /project/var/cache/dev.

As authentictech says, also you can try the command:

php bin/console cache:clear

If you want to specify the environment, you should add the --env=prod property.

This solved the same problem for me using the `php bin/console cache:clear` command in the console. – authentictech Jul 15 '17 at 17:28

You're point is ok, because the command removes the **dev** environment by default. With your permission, I've modified the comment to add the command as a possible solution. Thanks! – Apuig Jul 23 '17 at 17:38
The clear cache command is a must know, yet they don't post it anywhere in the startup documentation. Note: This still works with Symfony 4. – jjwdesign Apr 08 '19 at 19:33

You actually don't extend Symfony Controller class. It should be class LuckyController extends Controller

// src/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php 
namespace AppBundle\Controller; 

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route; 
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class LuckyController extends Controller {

     /** 
      * @Route("/lucky/number") 
      */ 
     public function numberAction() { 
         $number = rand(0, 100); 
         return new Response('<html><body>Lucky number: '.$number.'</body></html>');
     }

}

EDIT: after all, the problem in this question was not in extending controller, so ignore my answer.

I have added "extends Controller" in the file rc/AppBundle/Controller/LuckyController.php - but I still get the same error... – Atreides78 Aug 10 '15 at 12:39
I see... Try to clear cache, by typing 'php app/console cache:clear' command in your console, hope it will help. – Dan Mironis Aug 10 '15 at 12:45
already tried What can be the problem at this very basic step? http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/page_creation.html#creating-a-page-route-and-controller - just follow the instructions – Atreides78 Aug 10 '15 at 12:53
Hmm, everything seems to be fine, did you tried 'php app/console debug:router' to see what routes currently exists in your application? – Dan Mironis Aug 10 '15 at 12:58

You don't actually need to extend the framework's Controller class. – Gerry Aug 10 '15 at 13:01
@DanMironis: Added the output to the description of my problem – Atreides78 Aug 10 '15 at 13:07
@Atreides78 You know what, I followed the instructions and everything is fine to me, I am sure that the problem is in caching, try to delete entirely the dev folder in app/cache folder. – Dan Mironis Aug 10 '15 at 13:13
@DanMironis Did the following steps: `php app/console cache:clear Clearing the cache for the dev environment with debug true` And created a new projekt via "symfony new ...:" but leads again to the problem :( – Atreides78 Aug 10 '15 at 13:37
Ok, `php app/console cache:clear` is fine, but I noticed that it not always helps to clean the cache, so instead try to delete directory 'dev' in 'app/cache', and dont worry, symfony is smart enough to recreate that directory, and it will be cleaned from old cached filed. – Dan Mironis Aug 10 '15 at 13:48
@DanMironis: ` [root@symfony cache]# rm -rf dev/ [root@symfony cache]# ls -alh total 4.0K drwxrwxrwx 3 501 games 32 Aug 10 15:52 . drwxr-xr-x 6 501 games 4.0K Aug 10 15:23 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 501 games 0 Jul 31 15:45 .gitkeep drwxr-xr-x 5 apache apache 130 Aug 10 15:35 prod ` But after that still the same problems... ;( – Atreides78 Aug 10 '15 at 13:54

I copied and pasted your controller in an existing Symfony project and the route immediately appeared. So nothing wrong with the controller.

I also compared the routing.yml and it's the same.

The only thing that's left is to check the folder structure and make sure you don't have different Symfony projects mixed together; maybe you're editing the right file but starting the web server from a different path.

Check carefully or rebuild the project in a completely different path. Since you're testing with the embedded web server, you don't need to put your project into /var/www/html (in fact it's better not to).

http://localhost:8080/SymfonyProject/web/app_dev.php/lucky/number

It works for me. Change "SymfonyProject" with your project name folder or delete it if your project is pointed directly by the Server. Also pay attention to the port that works for you (localhost:8080). In my case is 8080, in your could be 8000 or something else.

Another reason you might get a "No route found for "GET /luck/number" is because you have a tab in front of the @Route annotation. I thought I programmed my code exactly like the example, and was getting this error, but turned out it was the tab.

See the following code below, and notice the first one produces the "No Route found..." exception:

/**
 *  @Route("/lucky/number")
 */

 /**
 * @Route("/lucky/number")
 */

In case someone else runs into this problem: for me the problem was twofold:

i forgot to assign a namespace namespace AppBundle\Controller;
i didn't add a use statement for the template use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;

Had the same issue, but for a completely different reason than those shown here so far...

Somehow my demo wasn't defining a default locale. There appear to be a number of configurations that could address this, but I'm not familiar enough with Symfony yet to know the exact cause. My solution until then is to simply define the locale in the URL, for example:

/app_dev.php/en/lucky/number

Extending the base class Controller did not work for me. To solve the problem I had to do the following change in web/app.php

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', true);

Also I had to add 'en' in the url: http://scotchbox.demo/en/lucky/number

If you're using apache server with Symfony 4 (not the Symfony server) just add :

composer require symfony/apache-pack

Don't forget to address your Document Root to

where/is/your/symfony/public

in apache configuration.
