request.input & request.only is undefined with GET requests

[yarapolana]

I just created two new projects and I was trying to get the values of my inputs but both are coming out as undefined. Did something change?

I noticed fold and ace in package.json came with older versions both 6.0.0 on contraire to another project that was ace 6.9.4 and fold 6.4.0

newly created

few weeks old

Weird. Can you share how did you create the project? npm init or yarn create?

To fix the main issue, you need to upgrade dependencies manually. The following command should do it

npm i @adonisjs/ace@alpha @adonisjs/fold@alpha @adonisjs/core@alpha

Strange indeed I used yarn create for the two new ones and npx create for the oldest one
updating the dependencies for the projects created with yarn did not work that was my first attempt, my second attempt was recreating the projects with npx create the dependencies came up to date but the bizarre issue with request.input ,request.only, request.validate coming undefined persists.

Though the request is there the values are still undefined.
Steps I took:
1- create a new project with yarn
2- create a route with request.input, request.only, request.validate
3- return the values or console log them - undefined
4- delete project
5- yarn cache clean

6- redo create project with yarn
7- same steps 2-3
8- delete node_modules
9- install dependencies again with yarn
10- update dependencies with yarn
11- steps 2-3
12- delete project

12- redo create project with npx
13- same steps 2-3
14- same result undefined

node v12.16.0
npm v6.14.8
yarn v1.22.5

Ahhh! I just saw that you are making a GET request. The body parser ignores GET requests by default. However, you can enable it inside the config file.config/bodyparser.ts add GET to whitelistedMethods array.

All these instances reminds me that docs needs to be better

Ahaa... I started questioning my dev skills for a bit 😅
Thanks for the whitelist tip!
