Auth driver [passport] for guard [api] is not defined. after updating

[Garanaw]

• Passport Version: 8.0.0
• Laravel Version: 6.5.1
• PHP Version: 7.2.19
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL 5.7
• System: Windows 7
• Server: Laragon

Description:

After updating Laravel from 5.8 to 6.5 and Passport from 7.2 to 8.0, this message appears, no configuration has changed, nor anything that might affect the functioning of Passport.

Steps To Reproduce:

• Install Laravel V5.6
• Install Passport (compatible version)
• Use custom migrations (no changes though, just to keep them in the same directory)
• Create a working API with Axios in the frontend
• Update Laravel to 5.8
• Update dependencies
• Keep using the API
• Update Laravel to ^6.0
• Update dependencies
• Update Passport to 8.0 (Following the UPGRADE.MD guide)
• By this moment, the error should appear even though nothing changed in the API calls

Aditional info

At the moment of updating Passport to 8.0, I had a look to my vendor folder and compared it to the repo and the last commits. I could notice that the exception src\Exceptions\OAuthServerException was missing, so I deleted the folder and reinstalled it using the last version to make sure everything loads fine. Still, this happened after getting the error, so should not be related, but something to let you know I think.

Not sure if the error is due to a service provider not registering the guard properly or if it comes from another piece of code, but as mentioned previously, my auth.php config file has always been the same, and it worked previous to the update

--- EDIT ---

More info

After debugging the project, I realized that the method registerGuard in the PassportServiceProvider class is called, but the closure to register the guard is never executed. The method:

    protected function registerGuard()
    {
        // This closure is registered
        Auth::resolved(function ($auth) {
            // But the content of the closure is never executed
            $auth->extend('passport', function ($app, $name, array $config) {
                return tap($this->makeGuard($config), function ($guard) {
                    $this->app->refresh('request', $guard, 'setRequest');
                });
            });
        });
    }

--- EDIT 2 ---

Workaround

In order to make the closure being executed, I have overriden the original registerGuard method as follows, and it seems to work without issues:

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

namespace App\Providers;

use Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider as BasePassportServiceProvider;

class PassportServiceProvider extends BasePassportServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Workaround to fix the closure not being executed ever
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function registerGuard()
    {
	$this->app['auth']->extend('passport', function ($app, $name, array $config) {
	    return tap($this->makeGuard($config), function ($guard) {
		$this->app->refresh('request', $guard, 'setRequest');
	    });
	});
    }
}

config/app.php

//Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\PassportServiceProvider::class, // Overriden

Same issue here.

Versions:
Laravel: v6.5.1
Passport: v8.0.0

During debugging I also find that the closure in registerGuard() is not getting executed.
Workaround by @Garanaw works for me too. Thanks

This is related to #1003 I believe.

Ping @crynobone

[crynobone]

Need more information.

All the code are executed on ServiceProvider::register(). Unless for some reason auth was resolved by some service provider during register() instead of boot() then it is possible this could cause an issue.

[crynobone]

    public static function resolved(Closure $callback)
    {
        $accessor = static::getFacadeAccessor();

        if (!! static::$app->resolved($accessor)) {
            $callback(static::getFacadeRoot());
        }

        static::$app->afterResolving($accessor, function ($service) use ($callback) {
            $callback($service);
        });
    }

A solution is to add static::$app->resolved($abstract) check to cover such edge cases.

[driesvints]

@crynobone okay. Can you maybe PR that to the framework?

[crynobone]

@driesvints laravel/framework#30616

[driesvints]

@crynobone thanks!

[driesvints]

PR was merged. We can try this out tomorrow when the next framework version is released.

[driesvints]

@Garanaw can you try again with the latest Laravel release?

[Garanaw]

@driesvints @crynobone
Confirmed: after updating Laravel Framework to v6.5.2 and Laravel Passport to v8.0.1 (although it wasn't required, I decided to also go with the latest release), the AuthManager is extended with the Passport's guard, doesn't throw errors and lets me login with a token. This can be marked as solved.
Thank you

[driesvints]

Great!
