What happened?

Call other match ainto Routes

Steps to Reproduce

My Routes are write this kind

//app/config/Route.php

$routes->group('admin/(:any)',["filter" => "authGuard"], function ($routes) {

    $routes->group('course/inquiry', function ($routes) {
        $routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
            First Route =>   //$routes->get('list', 'Admin\CourseInquiry::reminderList'); 
              
        });
    });

    $routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
        Second Route =>$routes->get('list', 'Admin\Reminder::index');
    });
});

My Url is =>http://domain.com/index.php/admin/521d7941a1f28640069792fbb7dedd8e/course/inquiry/reminder/list

if We comment first one route of this route its execute second one Route .

Expected Output

it should be show route not found but its second one route are executed. that route are outside of that group and that route are different and outside side of group. If we want to execute first one route un comment that work perfectly.

Anything else?

Not a bug. Please check what :any placeholder stands for: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/incoming/routing.html#placeholders

[kirankumarmitnas]

let's you explain what happen whenever i am calling bellow url.
My url is "http://domain.com/index.php/admin/521d7941a1f28640069792fbb7dedd8e/course/inquiry/reminder/list"

here we are devided above url in 3 part

1. "http://domain.com/index.php/"
2. "admin/521d7941a1f28640069792fbb7dedd8e/"
3. "/course/inquiry/reminder/list"

and my routes are there

First Group =>
$routes->group('admin/(:any)',function ($routes) {

Second Group=> 
   $routes->group('course/inquiry', function ($routes) {
           inside first Group=> 
	$routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
		$routes->get('list', 'Admin\CourseInquiry::reminderList');
	});
});

   Third Group=> 
$routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
	$routes->get('list', 'Admin\Reminder::index');
});

});

when we enter url on addressbar
first routes are enter because we added wild card(:any) so this path enter my first route of group like in this

$routes->group('admin/(:any)',function ($routes) {

});

then it should be execute 2 group of my route because i am defined route is "/course/inquiry/reminder/list"

$routes->group('course/inquiry', function ($routes) {
$routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
$routes->get('list', 'Admin\CourseInquiry::reminderList');
});
});

it's executed perfectly but whenever i am committed above route of group which is "$routes->get('list', 'Admin\CourseInquiry::reminderList'); " then it will executed third one routes.

$routes->group('reminder', function ($routes) {
$routes->get('list', 'Admin\Reminder::index');
});

Please use code blocks when you paste code samples, because it's hard to read.

In your initial report, you wrote:

if We comment first one route of this route its execute second one Route .... it should be show route not found but its second one route are executed.

The result is correct, because (:any) will match multiple segments, thereforce, the second route is correct match.
If you want it to work differently, you have to use (:segment) placeholder instead or structure your routes differently.
