Laravel jwt returns 500, on unauthorized - laravel

Question

I use jwt for my api authentication. when I use wrong token it returns 500 and I get the error that rout login is not defiend!
I'm using laravel 8 and "tymon/jwt-auth": "^1.0". my default guard is api and api driver is jwt.
I tried name login route as login, bu then I get error that get method is not supported for this route but I'm using Post method!
rout : api.php:
Route::group(['prefix'=>'v1'],function (){
Route::group([
'middleware' => 'api',
'prefix' => 'auth'
], function ($router) {
Route::post('login', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#login');
Route::post('logout', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#logout');
Route::post('refresh', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#refresh');
Route::post('me', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#me');
});
});
AuthController:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new AuthController instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth:api', ['except' => ['login']]);
}
/**
* Get a JWT via given credentials.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function login()
{
$credentials = request(['email', 'password']);
if (! $token = auth()->attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
return $this->respondWithToken($token);
}
/**
* Get the authenticated User.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function me()
{
return response()->json(auth()->user());
}
/**
* Log the user out (Invalidate the token).
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function logout()
{
auth()->logout();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Successfully logged out']);
}
/**
* Refresh a token.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
public function refresh()
{
return $this->respondWithToken(auth()->refresh());
}
/**
* Get the token array structure.
*
* #param string $token
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*/
protected function respondWithToken($token)
{
return response()->json([
'access_token' => $token,
'token_type' => 'bearer',
'expires_in' => auth()->factory()->getTTL() * 60
]);
}
}
user model:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Contracts\JWTSubject;
class User extends Authenticatable implements JWTSubject
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
// Rest omitted for brevity
/**
* Get the identifier that will be stored in the subject claim of the JWT.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function getJWTIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
/**
* Return a key value array, containing any custom claims to be added to the JWT.
*
* #return array
*/
public function getJWTCustomClaims()
{
return [];
}
}
error that I get:
Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route [login] not defined. in file C:\wamp64\www\medrep-app\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator.php on line 444
🧨 Route [login] not defined

Try to change your routes, by adding a route name, and Add a GET request for route.
Route::group(['prefix'=>'v1'],function (){
Route::group([
'middleware' => 'api',
'as' => 'api.',
'prefix' => 'auth'
], function ($router) {
Route::post('login', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#login')->name('login');
Route::get('login', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#sessionExpired')->name('sessionExpired');
Route::post('logout', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#logout')->name('logout');
Route::post('refresh', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#refresh')->name('refresh');
Route::post('me', 'App\Http\Controllers\AuthController#me')->name('me');
});
});
The login & sessionExpired function may have this code as exemple:
public function login()
{
dd('test token');
$credentials = request(['email', 'password']);
if (! $token = auth()->attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
}
return $this->respondWithToken($token);
}
public function sessionExpired()
{
return response()->json(['error' => 'session expired'],401);
}
In Postman make sure you are using POST method:
