Hi. I create my routes like so

Route::model('projects', 'Project');
Route::bind('projects', function($value, $route) {
    return App\Project::whereId($value)->first();
});
Route::resource('projects', 'ProjectsController');

I think it is important to note that if I create all of the functions within my controller immediately, then everything tends to work. If I do only index and create, and then way down the line decide to add an edit, this is when I see the problem. If I restart my project from scratch with the exact same code, from past experience it will work fine.

Anyways, my index function works fine, and this displays a view with the following

{!! Form::open(array('class' => 'form-inline', 'method' => 'DELETE', 'route' => array('projects.destroy', $project->slug))) !!}
    <td>{{ $project->id }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->projectId }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->client->clientName }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->clientStatus }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->user->userName }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->contactName }}</td>
    <td>{{ $project->projectName }}</td>
    <td>{!! link_to_route('projects.show', 'Show', array($project->id), array('class' => 'btn btn-info')) !!}</td>
    <td>{!! link_to_route('projects.edit', 'Edit', array($project->slug), array('class' => 'btn btn-info')) !!}</td>
    <td>{!! Form::submit('Delete', array('class' => 'btn btn-danger')) !!}</td>
{!! Form::close() !!}

So there is a link to my edit route in there. My edit function in the controller looks like the following

public function edit(Project $project)
{
     $clients = Client::lists('clientName', 'id');
     $users = User::lists('userName', 'id');
     return View::make('projects.edit', compact('project', 'clients', 'users'));
}

I have a show function in the same controller which uses the Project variable, and this works fine. If I click on the edit link, it takes me to a page with the url http://localhost:8000/projects//edit, so it is missing the id between projects and edit. If I add an id in manually, I can see the page.

My routes appear ok.

GET|HEAD | projects/{projects}/edit               | projects.edit           | App\Http\Controllers\ProjectsController@edit         |

I seem to have a problem with this edit call for some reason though, but as I say, if I restart the project I bet the code I have works. I have tried clearing the cache, doing any bit of advice I could find on the internet.

Is there any reason why this might be happening?

Thanks
