Laravel 5 Routing Issue - Bad Method Call Exception

Question

I'm attempting to simply send a 'PUT' request to one of my routes (which is called as a resource in the route file), yet I recieve this traceback as the response.

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
1/1 BadMethodCallException in Controller.php line 273: Method [show] does not exist.

    at Kernel->handle(object(Request)) in index.php line 53

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening.

Here is a code snippet from the Controller itself (which extends BaseController):

/**
     * Update the currently logged User in storage.
     *
     * @return Response 201
     * @return jsonArray account
     * @return string message
     */

    public function update($account_id) {
        $input = Input::all();
        $message = 'Account Successfully Updated';
        $user = Auth::User();

And here is the Route declaration:

Route::group(array('prefix' => 'api/v2', 'namespace' => 'API\V2', 'middleware' => 'auth'), function()
{
    Route::resource('challenges', 'ChallengeControllerV2', ['only'=> ['index','store','update','destroy']]);
    Route::resource('groups', 'GroupControllerV2');
    Route::resource('account', 'AccountControllerV2');

The call is being made to the correct path. Any ideas why I'm getting what seems to be an illogical response? There is no additional middleware/filters attached to the controller than what is shown.

It turns out that in Laravel 5 if you do not specify the resources available on a Route it will assume that they are all there (unlike in Laravel 4 where it checks to see what resources are available in all controllers). So I had to change the line like so.

Route::resource('account', 'AccountControllerV2', ['only'=> ['index','update','destroy']]);
