在redirect laravel上显示的空白页

Question

so created a new method in my controller called new_consultation and tried to redirect to it but it shows a blank page. When i try to use the default methods like create, show, edit and delete they work properly and display as expected.

My Controller

public function new_consultation() {
        // i used echo to try and see if this method was being called
        echo "l";
    }

My redirect

return redirect('/consultation/new_consultation');

And in my route

Route::any('/consultation/new_consultation', 'ConsultationController@new_consultation')->name('consultation.new_consultation');

Any help is appreciated

Looks like your error reporting is disabled. make sure in your .env file

APP_DEBUG=true

if it's still not show anything, put this following code in your controller method or constructor to check if you have any error.

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

this is to enable error reporting in php.
