Class RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated does not exist - php

Question

I have created a custom midddleware using the following command
php artisan make:middleware RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated
This is my middlware
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use App;
class RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (!App::environment(['production'])) {
return $next($request);
}
$user = Auth::user();
if (!$user->password_updated_at) {
return redirect()->route('profile.password.edit')->with([
'message' => 'Please update your password to proceed',
'alertType' => 'warning',
]);
}
if (Carbon::now()->diffInDays(Carbon::parse($user->password_updated_at)) > 90) {
return redirect()->route('profile.password.edit')->with([
'message' => 'Your password has expired! Please update your password to proceed',
'alertType' => 'warning',
]);
}
return $next($request);
}
}
I would like to use this middleware in the constructor of my controllers like following
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
$this->middleware('RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated');
}
When, I do that I get a ReflectionException (-1) that says
Class RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated does not exist
Here's the error in detail
C:\xampp\htdocs\gmi\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Container\Container.php
}
/**
* Instantiate a concrete instance of the given type.
*
* #param string $concrete
* #return mixed
*
* #throws \Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
*/
public function build($concrete)
{
// If the concrete type is actually a Closure, we will just execute it and
// hand back the results of the functions, which allows functions to be
// used as resolvers for more fine-tuned resolution of these objects.
if ($concrete instanceof Closure) {
return $concrete($this, $this->getLastParameterOverride());
}
$reflector = new ReflectionClass($concrete);
// If the type is not instantiable, the developer is attempting to resolve
// an abstract type such as an Interface or Abstract Class and there is
// no binding registered for the abstractions so we need to bail out.
if (! $reflector->isInstantiable()) {
return $this->notInstantiable($concrete);
}
$this->buildStack[] = $concrete;
$constructor = $reflector->getConstructor();
// If there are no constructors, that means there are no dependencies then
// we can just resolve the instances of the objects right away, without
// resolving any other types or dependencies out of these containers.
if (is_null($constructor)) {
array_pop($this->buildStack);
return new $concrete;
}
I an using this midddleware in other Laravel (v5.4, v5.6) projects in the same way which are working without any issues. But it's not working in the current version (v5.8). What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

As i can see that you haven't registered your middleware class in app\Http\Kernel.php. registering a middleware is very simple just like below:
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'middle_name' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfPasswordNotUpdated::class,
]
