You don't need to cache the routes. You can skip php artisan optimize for now

OK Thanks

Reopening this, since it is a legitimate bug, just not one that breaks anything.

I'm sorry, I think this can't be fixed without rewriting all of our existing routes. The Laravel documentation warns that this is not possible with routes using closures https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/deployment#optimizing-route-loading:

which we use extensively. So, unfortunately, I don't think we can address this issue in short term...

FYI, this is related to #11595, where we had done a lot of fixes. In Laravel 8, the closure isn't the issue anymore, but rather duplicate names for routes.
