如何修复以下错误：InvalidArgumentException: Auth guard [jwt] is not defined

Question

I have followed following guide to make an Authentication Api, and an api which uses the authentication from the first one. I have done everything exactly the same, but i still get this error:

InvalidArgumentException: Auth guard [jwt] is not defined. in file folder/to/project/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/AuthManager.php on line 84

The guide i have followed is: https://medium.com/swlh/build-jwt-authentication-between-multiple-api-with-laravel-fbd03352aaa3

My config/auth looks like this:

'defaults' => [
    'guard' => 'api',
    'passwords' => 'users',
],

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
        // 'hash' => false,
    ],
],

Then my app/guard/JWTGuard.php looks exactly like in the guide. My routes/api.php look the following:

Route::middleware('auth:jwt')->resource('projects', ProjectController::class);

Does anybody has this issue before and know how to solve it?

Answer 1

The problem was in routes/api.php . The middleware shouldn't be "auth:jwt", but "auth:api". This did the trick for me.
