Adonis v5 "E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS" When using Auth as Middleware

[esinanturan]

I am having E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS exception when I try to use auth module as middleware as described in the documentation

but when I use auth.authenticate() method it's working as expected

Route

Route.get('test', 'AuthController.test').middleware('auth')

Auth Middleware ( as default )

export default class AuthMiddleware {
 
  protected redirectTo = '/login'
  protected async authenticate(auth: HttpContextContract['auth'], guards: any[]) {
   
    let guardLastAttempted: string | undefined

    for (let guard of guards) {
      guardLastAttempted = guard

      if (await auth.use(guard).check()) {.   // when i check , it always returns false even if token is exists
        auth.defaultGuard = guard
        return true
      }
    }

    throw new AuthenticationException(
      'Unauthorized access',
      'E_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS',
      guardLastAttempted,
      this.redirectTo
    )
  }

  public async handle(
    { auth }: HttpContextContract,
    next: () => Promise<void>,
    customGuards: string[]
  ) {
    const guards = customGuards.length ? customGuards : [auth.name]
    await this.authenticate(auth, guards)
    await next()
  }
}

oh my fault I was using wrong token

[ppratham0811]

What wrong token? Isn't the default token supposed to be 'api' in case of API tokens.

[ppratham0811]

I am trying to do auth.use('api') which throws this error, even though my tokens are right

@ppratham0811 How i can, get rid of it because I'm also using right token but I'm facing this issue, help me as soon as possible.
