I'm following the following tutorial:

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/laravel/laravel_middleware.htm

I'm on Step 9, and I'm getting a "404 | Not Found" error. Here's my exact code:

appHttproutes.php

<?php
Route::get('/', function () 
 return view('welcome');
);

Route::get('/role',[
 'middleware' => 'Role:editor',
 'uses' => 'TestController@index',
]);

appHttpKernel.php

<?php

namespace AppHttp;

use IlluminateFoundationHttpKernel as HttpKernel;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel

 /**
 * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
 *
 * These middleware are run during every request to your application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 protected $middleware = [
 IlluminateFoundationHttpMiddlewareCheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
 AppHttpMiddlewareEncryptCookies::class,
 IlluminateCookieMiddlewareAddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
 IlluminateSessionMiddlewareStartSession::class,
 IlluminateViewMiddlewareShareErrorsFromSession::class,
 AppHttpMiddlewareVerifyCsrfToken::class,
 ];

 /**
 * The application's route middleware groups.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 protected $middlewareGroups = [
 'web' => [
 AppHttpMiddlewareEncryptCookies::class,
 IlluminateCookieMiddlewareAddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
 IlluminateSessionMiddlewareStartSession::class,
 // IlluminateSessionMiddlewareAuthenticateSession::class,
 IlluminateViewMiddlewareShareErrorsFromSession::class,
 AppHttpMiddlewareVerifyCsrfToken::class,
 IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareSubstituteBindings::class,
 // AppHttpMiddlewareRoleMiddleware::class,
 ],

 'api' => [
 'throttle:60,1',
 'bindings',
 ],
 ];

 /**
 * The application's route middleware.
 *
 * These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 protected $routeMiddleware = [
 'auth' => AppHttpMiddlewareAuthenticate::class,
 'auth.basic' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
 'bindings' => IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareSubstituteBindings::class,
 'cache.headers' => IlluminateHttpMiddlewareSetCacheHeaders::class,
 'can' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthorize::class,
 'guest' => AppHttpMiddlewareRedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
 'signed' => IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareValidateSignature::class,
 'throttle' => IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareThrottleRequests::class,
 'verified' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareEnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
 'Age' => AppHttpMiddlewareAgeMiddleware::class,
 'Role' => AppHttpMiddlewareRoleMiddleware::class,
 ];

 /**

 *

 *
 * @var array
 */
 protected $middlewarePriority = [
 IlluminateSessionMiddlewareStartSession::class,
 IlluminateViewMiddlewareShareErrorsFromSession::class,
 AppHttpMiddlewareAuthenticate::class,
 IlluminateSessionMiddlewareAuthenticateSession::class,
 IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareSubstituteBindings::class,
 IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthorize::class,
 ];

appHttpControllersTestController.php

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppHttpRequests;
use AppHttpControllersController;

class TestController extends Controller 
 public function index() 
 echo "<br>Test Controller.";
 

appHttpMiddlewareRoleMiddleware.php

<?php

namespace AppHttpMiddleware;
use Closure;

class RoleMiddleware 
 public function handle($request, Closure $next, $role) 
 echo "Role: ".$role;
 return $next($request);
 

I'm at a loss at this point, as to why it would give me a 404. Looking up some other questions here on SO, I'd thought it was because the Route had role and not /role, but that change did nothing. I even did the following route:

Route::get('/test', function () 
 return "Hello World";
);

And received a 404 as well. I created my project in PHPStorm, and as a "Composer Project" and used the package laravel/installer.

My problem was that I was adding the route to appHttproutes.php. The latest version of Laravel actually has web routes in routes/web.php. Adding my route there solved my problem.

Please try using php artisan then report back with the result.
