laravel back() no redirect preview page, redirecting to page /

[gurrrung]

Can you help me replicate this error in my machine?

[ldavidsp]

I have a route
Route::post('/test/{id}/edit', 'TestController@test');

TestController

```
function test($id, Request $request) {
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'fieldname' => 'required',
]);

  if ($validator->fails()) {
      return back();
  }
 TestModel::find($id)->update($request->all());
  return redirect('/test');

}
```

This works fine for me in my pc. Double-check your env as the documentation says

Since this feature utilizes the session, make sure the route calling the back function is using the web middleware group or has all of the session middleware applied.

https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/responses#redirects

its return redirect()->back();
Please ensure you review the documentation thoroughly.

Previous user could not replicate because one did not replicate failing the Validator.

I think both of return redirect()->back(); and return back(); do the same job. @yordadev
