Laravel Passport Unauthenticated after composer update

Question

I've been working in this application for several years and while doing some updates my passport authentication broke. I update from passport 7.2 to 7.5 and it broke. I then updated to passport 8.5 and it still doesn't work.

I am getting the 401 {error: "Unauthenticated."} error.

I am using

Laravel 7.28.1
Passport 8.5.0
Laravel Valet
PHP 7.3

I am attempting to consume my own api and I've followed every solution I found on the internet, but no dice. I can access the routes using postman with an access token and if I move the route outside of the auth:api middleware, but I want to access the routes within the auth:api

Here is my current config.

AuthServiceProvider.php

public function boot()
{
    Passport::routes();
}

protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            ... other middleware
            \Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class,
        ],

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

In auth.php

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

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

bootstrap.js

window.axios = require('axios');

window.axios.defaults.headers.common = {
    'X-CSRF-TOKEN' : document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').getAttribute('content'),
    'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
};

in a component.vue file

axios.get('/api/users?page=' + page).then((response) => {
    //
})

I've cleared configs and ran php artisan optimize:clear and about a dozen of other things that I can't thing of right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean 'it broke'? What happens, what errors do you get? did you check the console on the browser and the laravel logs? — gbalduzzi

I've encountered exactly this problem with Laravel 7 and Passport starting around the time of this question posted (early September 2020). I couldn't pin-point the exact cause of the issue, but had to freeze my dependencies to avoid the problem. While debugging it seemed to me it wasn't a direct issue with Laravel or Passport, but rather a sub-dependency.

Just upgraded to Laravel 8 and Passport v10.0.1 and now everything is back to normal.
