authentication - Unable to get to route behind auth middleware for two routes -

my 2 routes 'admin.media.begin-destroy' , 'admin.media.destroy' fails when middleware => 'auth'.

when trying access route 'admin.media.begin-destroy' presented login page authentication controller, , cannot away without trying access page.

on development machine works fine both , without auth middleware

here routes protected:

route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => 'auth'], function() {   route::get('/', ['as' => 'admin.dashboard', 'uses' => 'admin\dashboardcontroller@index']);        route::get('show/{show}/toggle',['as' => 'admin.show.toggle','uses'=>'admin\showcontroller@toggle']);   route::resource('show', 'admin\showcontroller');    // admin.media.begin-destroy , admin.media.destroy fails when middleware => 'auth'   route::get('media/begin-destroy-ddd/{id}', ['as' => 'admin.media.begin-destroy', 'uses' => 'admin\mediacontroller@begindestroy']);   route::resource('media', 'admin\mediacontroller', ['only' => ['index', 'create', 'store', 'destroy']]);    route::get('order', ['as'=> 'admin.order.index', 'uses' => 'admin\ordercontroller@index']);   route::get('order/list-for-modification', ['as' => 'admin.order.list-for-modification', 'uses' => 'admin\ordercontroller@listmodify']);   route::get('order/{order}/begin-destroy', ['as' => 'admin.order.begin-destroy', 'uses' => 'admin\ordercontroller@begindestroy']);   route::delete('order/{order}/destroy', ['as' => 'admin.order.destroy', 'uses' => 'admin\ordercontroller@destroy']); }); 

the controller method 'admin.media.begin-destroy' , 'admin.media.destroy' super simple:

public function begindestroy($filename) {     return view('admin.media.begin-destroy', compact('filename')); }  /**  * remove specified resource storage.  *  * @param  int  $filename  * @return response  */ public function destroy($filename) {     storage::disk('free-media')->delete($filename);     return redirect()->route('admin.media.index'); } 

i puzzled why doesn't work.

edit!--- trying work me around problem i

/ moved problematic routes own group no middleware

route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function() {   route::get('media/begin-destroy/{id}', ['as' => 'admin.media.begin-destroy', 'uses' => 'admin\mediacontroller@begindestroy']);   route::resource('media', 'admin\mediacontroller', ['only' => ['index', 'create', 'store', 'destroy']]); }); 

/ added middleware registration in admin\mediacontroller constructor, cannot add begindestroy, because fail unknown reason public function __construct() { $this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['begindestroy']]); }

// in begindestroy, check user, , user not logged in wtf

public function begindestroy($filename) {     if (auth::check())     {         return view('admin.media.begin-destroy', compact('filename'));     }     // end here.     return "un-authorized"; } 

for particular use case, ok me disable check in begindestroy, because in actual destroy code, auth works again, happening ?

changing route have filename passed using old question mark made difference!

this more of workaround answer, , still have no idea why doesn't work other way, anyway, here workaround did trick.

// works route::get('media/begin-destroy',    ['as' => 'admin.media.begin-destroy',    'uses' => 'admin\mediacontroller@begindestroy']);  // not work! // reason beyond me, 'auth' middleware fails here // , auth::check() fails // (yes ofcourse updated signature accordingly in begindestroy) route::get('media/begin-destroy/{filename}',    ['as' => 'admin.media.begin-destroy',    'uses' => 'admin\mediacontroller@begindestroy']);
