What routes are you applying that cors middleware to?

Just the route shown: $router->group(['prefix' => 'api', 'middleware' => 'cors'], function ($router) { $router->get('/test', 'MyController@myMethod'); });

I am having the same issue

Anyone figure this out? Just run into exactly the same issue...

No, unfortunately not. I have solved it temporarily by adding the CORS middleware to the $middeware array instead of $routedMiddleware. This does however mean it's applied throughout the application. Does anyone have a better solution?

Hey, I tried to achieve cors in my laravel (5.2) application. I used barryvdh/laravel-cors and had some issues until I read a laracasts thread from a year ago. @Barryvdh suggested the order in wich middleware is called is important. So I modified my kernel and routes to this:

//App\Http\Kernel.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'cors' => \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
    'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
    'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
    'can' => \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\Authorize::class,
    'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
    'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
    'csrf' => \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
];

I added HandleCors at the top of the routeMiddleware array (even if I am pretty sure this does not change anything)

//Routes.php
Route::group(['prefix' => 'api', 'middleware' => ['cors', 'api'], 'namespace' => 'API'], function()
{
    //API Routes
});

In my route group I made sure cors is called before using the other api routes. This worked for me.

Initially my ember app couldn't connect:

Failed to load resource: Origin http://localhost:4200 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

And now I get this

InvalidCharacterError: DOM Exception 5

wich is fine, because at least cors seems to work properly.
