Laravel Controller another function is being called

Question

I'm getting

ErrorException in ProjectController.php line 41: Trying to get property of non-object

I am calling delete_project() inside my controller but it seems Laravel is also calling the get_project($variable_here) method

ProjectsController

public function get_project($slug_name){
    $project = Project::where('slug_name', $slug_name)->first();
    if ($project->user_id == Auth::user()->id) {
      return view('project', ['project' => $project]);
    }else {
      return redirect('console');
    }
}

public function delete_project(){

}

Web routes

Route::get('/console', 'HomeController@index');

Route::get('project/{slug_name}', 'ProjectController@get_project');

Route::get('get_projects', 'UserController@get_projects');

Route::post('create_new_project', 'ProjectController@create_new_project');

Route::post('/delete_project', 'ProjectController@delete_project');

Oops sorry I forgot that line. Route::get('get_projects', 'UserController@get_projects'); — mariozawa, Oct 23 '16 at 17:06
Routes look fine. Try to clear route cache with `php artisan route:clear` command. — Alexey Mezenin, Oct 23 '16 at 17:11

Solved by adding this input on my form to send a delete request

<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete">

And changing the delete_project route so I now have this on my web routes

Route::get('/project/{slug_name}', 'ProjectController@get_project');
Route::delete('/project/{slug_name}', 'ProjectController@delete_project');
