Installation steps in documentation - How to prevent "Route [login] not defined" error in Mailcoach Installation

[connecteev]

I was setting up Mailcoach (the package) in an existing laravel 7 project. After going through all the steps here I was met with this error page when I went to http://127.0.0.1:8000/mailcoach

Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException
Route [login] not defined.

I did try adding Auth::routes(); to my routes/web.php, but I was getting redirected to /login with:

InvalidArgumentException
View [auth.login] not found

The docs need to make it clear that you cannot install mailcoach in a laravel 7 app that does not have auth (login and register) functionality. The way to fix this, as per the laravel docs is:

• composer install laravel/ui
• php artisan ui vue --auth

and then, after you've completed the installation from https://mailcoach.app/docs/v2/package/general/installation-and-setup go to /mailcoach and log in.

I think you can solve this by specifying a route that does exist in the redirect_unauthorized_users_to_route of the mailcoach config file.

Yes, thanks, it would just be good to add both of these options to the documentation, so that others (perhaps me, when I forget in the future!) don't encounter the issue again.

• redirect_unauthorized_users_to_route in mailcoach config, which I tried setting to null without success previously ('null' doesnt make sense in hindsight now), and
• call make:auth in laravel to enable login / register functions
