AJAX requests to 3rd party custom fields return full HTML

Description:

I've tried several 3rd party custom fields for many-to-many management, while viewing and deleting relations work, XHR requests to their respective URLs always return full HTML document instead of data. I'm starting to think, something is wrong with my system, but don't know where to look.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

A basic working many-to-many relation with pivot table. Nova's BelongsToMany field works as expected.

Tested with these packages:

• https://novapackages.com/packages/ziffmedia/nova-select-plus
• https://novapackages.com/packages/dillingham/nova-attach-many
• https://novapackages.com/packages/benjacho/belongs-to-many-field

Browser console shows full HTML document instead of data.

Logging from custom fields controllers doesn't help — looks like the request never gets there (works from fields' boot).

Guidance is much appreciated.

Laravel Nova doesn't have any controller with options() method. I would recommend creating an issue on the respective field repositories:

• https://github.com/ziffmedia/nova-select-plus
• https://github.com/dillingham/nova-attach-many
• https://github.com/Benjacho/belongs-to-many-field-nova

Yeah, I know it doesn't, @crynobone.

These three custom fields use different controllers for requests, but non of them are actually reached — and all of them return plain HTML instead of data. It looks like something in my Nova is broken, not in those packages. Don't know where to look, though.

I would assume all the requests should go to respective routes, such as:

https://github.com/dillingham/nova-attach-many/blob/1df678fe937f113d15c8de475e458cf04e89af67/src/Providers/FieldServiceProvider.php#L22-L26

From there you can use route:list to check whether the routes are still available. XHR request returning HTML seem to indicate routes has been overriden.

p/s: moved this to Discussion as this not a bug report, but rather Q&A/Support

Thanks for the direction.

I had to fix a routing error, of which I found out only by calling route:list (Laravel 8.34.0 is being broken by Routes with a closure, though looks like Nova/Laravel pre-package one in app/routes/api.php).

After that, php artisan route:cache.
