'laravel MVC execution flow

I am new to laravel framework. I am trying to edit laravel webapplication.

Website is running in EC-2 instance of AWS. I am doing SCP with filezilla.

I found that /var/www/html/app has one route.php file. one of the route defined over there is :

#get checkout page
Route::get('/checkout', ['as' => 'checkout', 'uses' => 'CartController@getCheckout']);

When I hit example.com/checkout

It moves me to example.com/cart

getCheckout() of cart controller

// show checkout form
    public function getCheckout()
    {

        if(getCartTotal())
        {

            return View::make('cart.checkout'); 


        }else {

            return Redirect::route('cart')->withCartErrorMessage('Please add some items to cart!');
        }
    }

My question is . when i change above route to product page or any thing else. it does not reflects and still moves me to wxample.com/cart.

even I removed route.php file and then hit example.com/checkout , it still moves me to example.com/cart

Why is it so ?

Edit :

I tested with php artisan routes command ,it lists all the routes from routes.php , and when i remove route.php file from /var/www/html/app folder, above command says Your application doesn't have any routes.

that means i am editing proper routes.php file. But why changed routes in /var/www/html/app routes.php file are not being reflected ?

Solution 1:[1]

if(getCartTotal())
        {

            return View::make('cart.checkout'); 


        }else {

            return Redirect::route('cart')->withCartErrorMessage('Please add some items to cart!');
        }

In the above getCartTotal() function is returning false that is why it is redirecting to else and and then goes to cart

It could be the view cache, something similar happened to me before. In the folder storage/frameworks/views, i just cleared them all or by command 

php artisan view:clear
