Laravel Middleware is Not Being Called When Access the Routes - php

Question

I have created a Middleware via php artisan make: middleware AdminCheck
Registered it in kernal.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminCheck::class,
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
//default middlewares.....
];
In web.php this is how I'm using it for all my routes
Route::prefix('/app')->middleware('admin')->group(function () {
Route::post('/create_tag', 'AdminController#addTag');
Route::get('/get_tags', 'AdminController#getTag');
Route::post('/edit_tag', 'AdminController#editTag');
});
Here is my The Middleware
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class AdminCheck
{
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
Log::info("Middleware Reached");
dd("Middleware Reached");
if (!Auth::check()) {
//l redirect to login
return redirect('/login');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
The middleware is working since the routes are still accessed even without login and there's nothing in the log and its not die dumping either

For similar issues in the future, kindly check your cache, you can do so by doing
php artisan about
To clear your cache you can do:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
It will list what is cached, if you are going to be making any changes to route/config/views you should clear the cache and cache again.
