Framework: New project / BadMethodCallException: Method getPath does not exist

[shzaur]

• Laravel Version: 5.5.0
• PHP Version: 7.0.23-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
• Database Driver & Version:

It happens if route returns view.

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

It works fine if route is like this

Route::get('/welcome', 'IndexController@index');

I just tried this on a 5.5.3 project and it works fine. (Not a new project though but It isn't related). Try updating and testing on latest patch version.

upgrading newrelic solved the problem

[Dylan-DPC]

You can close the issue if solved :)

For those who thinks that upgrading newrelic doesn't make any sense. Well, upgrading it actually solve it.
So, there's a breaking changes introduced by Laravel 5.5 on Router class, newrelic daemon uses this class if you're using laravel specific instrumentation.
