Unable to unset Phalcon aliases

Question

I am using INVO example app from here:

https://github.com/phalcon/invo

I have copied all the files and set the db and base url.

It works, I can login etc.

however, I wanted to learn how to use redirects e.g.

I would like to use contact-us instead of contact without changing the name of the controller.

So, I created a file routes.php inside of the app/config folder and put this inside:

<?php
$router = new Phalcon\Mvc\Router(false);

$router->add('/contact-us', array(
    'controller' => "contact",
    'action' => "index"
))->setName('contact');

$router->handle();
return $router;

and I have created this in my bootstrap file index.php in the public root directory

$di = new \Phalcon\DI\FactoryDefault();

$di->set('router', function(){
    require __DIR__.'/../app/config/routes.php';
    return $router;
});

However, it's not working and when I try to access http://localhost/test/contact-us it works, but http://localhost/test/contact-us stopped working and I am redirected to the homepage.

If I (comment the route) do this:

/*$router->add('/contact-us', array(
    'controller' => "contact",
    'action' => "index"
))->setName('contact');*/

$router->handle();
return $router;

Neither http://localhost/test/contact-us nor http://localhost/test/contact-us works ;(.

If I uncomment it back. contact-us works but contact don't.

I guess it's b/c of ->setName('contact') and it's stored in the memory or in some file.

how to get it back to the original state and "unset" that?

You can create two routes and each will work:

$router->add('/contact', array(
    'controller' => "contact",
    'action'     => "index"
));

$router->add('/contact-us', array(
    'controller' => "contact",
    'action'     => "index"
));

Or use groups of routes.

So, if you have ContactController and don't want to access it using /contact url you should add router to the DI container. After that the pages will be available only via router and default /controller/action request format will not work.
