[5.5] Pipeline: Function name should be a string (AuthManager)

[saiik]

• Laravel Version: 5.5.4
• PHP Version: 7.1.1
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL

Description:

Currently trying to upgrade from Laravel 5.4 to 5.5. We are using the Cloudcreativity Laravel JSON package to run a json api with laravel. Also we have our own auth provider to validate JWT tokens.

As soon as we upgrade we get the error "Function name should be a string". After searching through the code and vendor dir, i've a found a solution:

Adding following code to the Laravel AuthManager solved the problem:

public function handle($request, Closure $next) {
     return $next($request);
}

The question is: What tries to call AuthManager::handle? I've found nothing.

This sounds like you're attempting to use the middleware alias "auth", but havn't registered it or it just resolves to the Auth facade, which is backed by AuthManager.

Thanks, this actually solved it. The auth middleware wasn't registered properly.

@razigohar If you're using Lumen, you'll need to uncomment the auth middleware being registered at https://github.com/laravel/lumen/blob/master/bootstrap/app.php#L66
