Apply middleware to all but one Nova routes

[jolora]

I have a custom middleware I added to the middleware array in config/nova.php. I'd like to make just one route exempt from this middleware (a tool).

If that's not possible I'm wondering if anybody else can think of a workaround as I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Any help greatly appreciated!

A tool should already have its own routes and middleware.

Thanks for responding. Sure, I understand that.

For clarity, my middleware is checking whether an authentication token exists for an external service and if it does not then it redirects to the custom tool. The tool is the only page I want to exempt from this middleware as the tool is used to generate the authentication token.

Currently when a user is not authenticated I have a redirect loop as the middleware redirects to the tool but because the middleware also applies to the tool it attempts to redirect to itself endlessly.

I feel like I'm missing an obvious solution here.

public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        if($request->is('my-tool-route')) {
           return $next($request);
        }

       [...]
}

Finally thought of the obvious solution... added the above to the beginning of my middleware. Previously had tried this with $request->get_path() but that didn't work for some reason.
