为什么localhost：8000不起作用，而...：8000 / test在symfony上正常工作？

Question

Im completely new to Symfony so please bear with me. Im trying to configure my controller to atleast get a working webpage. I created a new Symfony project and started my server. After writing some code into MyController

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

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

 class MyController
{
 /**
 * @Route("/test")
 */
 public function numberAction()
 {
    $prankBro= "Its just a prank bro";

    return new Response($prankBro);
 }
}

After trying to access localhost:8000 I get a fatal 404 error: No route found for "GET /" Being a complete beginner I have no idea what this is. I believe it is some kind of response type, although I'm not sure. On the other hand if I use localhost:8000/test It seems to be working fine, I get my webpage with a message saying that it was just a prank bro :) Is this how it is supposed to be in symfony? It really messes up with my brain, so if it is fine, can someone explain me why plain localhost:8000 URL gives me 404 error? Thank you!

Take note of the comment above numberAction:

/**
* @Route("/test")
*/

That implies to me that there is a route set up for localhost:8000/test which will execute the numberAction method.

You need to create a method that will be your home page, and then create a route for / which will run your new method. Then when you visit localhost:8000, your new method will be executed.

See the Symphony documentation for details on how to set up routes.
