CrawlChat Answer:

Based on the search results, I can see this is a known issue after a Backpack update. The route name backpack.auth.logout.store may have changed or been removed in newer versions of Backpack.

Your workaround using backpack_url('logout') is correct. Here's the proper fix:

Option 1: Update your view (quick fix)

<form action="{{ backpack_url('logout') }}" method="POST">
    @csrf
    <button type="submit">Logout</button>
</form>

Option 2: Check route names
Run php artisan route:list | grep logout to see the actual logout route name registered by Backpack.

Option 3: Define custom routes
If you have published custom routes in routes/backpack/base.php, ensure they match the expected route names. According to the documentation , you can create a custom routes file and define your own logout route:

Route::post('logout', [LoginController::class, 'logout'])->name('backpack.auth.logout.store');

This appears to be a breaking change introduced in a recent Backpack version. Your fix using backpack_url('logout') is the recommended approach.

Would you like me to point you to the relevant documentation section?

Thanks @bedoz sorry for introducing that bug. I've reverted the route change, 2.0.10 should have the fix 👍
