Application stops working is I use this=>url('router') in Zend Framework 2?

Question

The router is okay, it works via address bar The router is okay if I echo the URL The app stops working if I echo $this->url('routename')

Guys, this is the router:

'ownedGoods' => array(
                'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
                'options' => array(
                    'route' => '/owned',
                    'defaults' => array(
                        'controller' => 'index\index',
                        'action' => 'indexOwned'
                    )
                )
            ),

this is the invokable for controllers

'index\index' => 'AddGoods\Controller\IndexController',

Now when i open the URL: http://goodsApp.localhost:88/owned, it works

The trouble arised when I put along other links in navigation bar, where as other links like Add Goods and Home is working, but the owned is not.

 <li class="active"><a href="<?php echo $this->url('home') ?>"><?php echo $this->translate('Home') ?></a></li>
 <li class="active"><a href="<?php echo $this->url('add') ?>"><?php echo $this->translate('Add a good') ?></a></li>
 <li class="active"><a href="<?php echo $this->url('owned') ?>"><?php echo $this->translate('My Goods') ?></a></li>

App is not running, no controller and route is matched. Even not for home page, it shows

Uncaught exception 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Exception\RuntimeException' with message 'Route with name "owned" not found' in path\to\app\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\TreeRouteStack.php:313 Stack trace: #0 path\to\app\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\View\Helper\Url.php(100): Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\TreeRouteStack->assemble(Array, Array) #1 [internal function]: Zend\View\Helper\Url->__invoke('owned') #2 #2 path\to\app\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer.php(400): call_user_func_array(Object(Zend\View\Helper\Url), Array) #3 path\to\app\module\Application\view\layout\layout.phtml(48): Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer->__call('url', Array) #4 path\to\app\module\Application\view\layout\layout.phtml(48): Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer->url('owned') in path\to\app\vendor\zendframework\zendframework\library\Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\TreeRouteStack.php on line 313

But, if I remove the nav bar link (the last li tag) from navigation, it again works. Even if instead of this->url('owned') I just echo 'owned' it still works.

The problem is only when I echo this->url('owned') in nav bar, it stops working and give the exception. It works if i use the route by address bar or by any other mean, like echoing 'owned' in nav bar.

Any more questions, ask me freely.

Answer 1

Because your route name is ownedGoods Not owned
