Laravel 10 Upgrade - Login on Nova is causing a redirect loop

[tiagoraposeiraff]

• Laravel Version: 10.13.5
• Nova Version: 4.25.1
• PHP Version: 8.2.3

Description:

After upgrading the Laravel version from v9.52.6 to v10.13.5 the Nova login stopped working.
It keeps returning a 302 status causing a Too Many Redirects Issue.

It goes from /nova to /nova/login, back and forth.
I was able to determine via var_dump that when reaching the LoginController::authenticated() method the user is there and it's valid.
But when it reaches the Authenticate::authenticate() middleware method and tries to perform the auth check, it always returns false, on ln 63: if ($this->auth->guard($guard)->check())

I also confirmed that the $guard variable is correct (web).

I search the web for similar issues and I couldn't find any, which led me to asking for some help here with this (possible) bug.

Hi,

Also experiencing redirect loops when accessing /nova then it redirects to nova/login repeatedly
Just upgraded from an existing Laravel Nova 3 to Laravel Nova 4 following the upgrade guide up to the section before the High Impact Changes. Other none nova routes are working fine like our /log-viewer and /docs

Everything worked fine but I needed to remove some packages:
"outl1ne/nova-multiselect-filter": "^2.0"
"pos-lifestyle/laravel-nova-date-range-filter": "^1.3"

"laravel/framework": "^8.0",
"laravel/nova": "^4.0",
PHP version 7.4
Using Laravel Passport and upgraded it from 9 to 10

Thanks

@thond1st can you elaborate on that?
It seems you're having the issue, but on Laravel 8, correct?
Did removing those packages fixed the issue entirely? How did you debug/found out those were the problem?

Thanks!

Hi @tiagoraposeiraff ,
Yes, I am on Laravel 8. Planning to move slowly to a later version where all 3rd party packages will be working.
Removing the packages solved the composer update errors.
I just fixed the nova/login redirect loop yesterday. I had a mistake merging Nova 3 web middleware with the one from Nova 4 inside config/nova.php. Some of the old lines shouldn't be there. Please see screenshot below.
