Koa-respond - "ctx.badRequest" is not a function

Questions and Answers Strapi Backend

According to the documentation, badRequest is the right way to go. So problem must be related to the way I have configured the controller.

I have not been able to reproduce exactly what I’ve been doing wrong. But I believe that this has been the problem.

** api/lorem/controllers.lorem.ts** (old)

module.exports = factories.createCoreController('api::lorem.lorem', ({
  strapi
}) => ({
  async create(ctx) {
        (...)
   }
})

** api/lorem/controllers.lorem.ts** (new)

const create =  async (ctx) {
        (...)
 }

export default {
    create
}

So in short, the error message was not really helpful. Running strapi generate was useful in this scenario, cause it gave me an outline of how a controller should be exported. No idea why it worked in my previous project, but than again. This kind of code inconsistency of mine is the sole reason I wanted to start a fresh and new project :wink:
