Passport: Middleware Except does not work

[s4uron]

• Laravel Version: 5.4.0
• PHP Version: 5.6.28
• Database Driver & Version: mySQL

Description:

The exception from a middleware does not work anymore with mapApiRoutes() (and passport)

If i call api/v1/announcements i get:

{
  "error": "Unauthenticated."
}

even though it should be excepted from middleware auth:api

Steps To Reproduce:

Install laravel + passport, create a model (Announcement)

in RouteServiceProvider.php modify the _mapApiRoutes()_

protected function mapApiRoutes()
    {
        Route::prefix('api/v1')
             ->middleware(['auth:api','throttle:60','bindings'])
             ->namespace($this->namespace)
             ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
    }

in your resource controller (AnnouncementController.php) add a _contructor_:

    /**
     * Instantiate a new AnnouncementController instance.
     */
    public function __construct(Request $request)
    {
        $this->request = $request;
        // Even guests can view announcements
        if($request->ajax()) {
            $this->middleware('auth:api', ['except' => ['index','show']]);
        } else {
            $this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['index','show']]);
        }
    }

in your routes/api.php add

Route::resource('announcements','AnnouncementController',['only' => [
    'index', 'show'
]]);
