Are you executing the command routes:cache? – Dan
Yes. After it i getting the error – Sam
its intended behaviour. You can't cache routes if you have closure in them. – Uzair Riaz

A closure is an anonymous function which is used to define routes without an action:

Route::get('/test', function () {
    return 'hello world';
});

The example above returns hello world when you call the route /test in your browser.

You can't cache routes that are referencing a closure.

There are two routes using closures in a default Laravel app: in the files routes/api.php and routes/web.php. Remove them or move them to a controller and you are able to cache your routes.

Here's an issue in the Laravel framework repository which is discussing this behaviour.
