Global Filter Redirect Too Many Times

Hi,
Im trying to use filter to all of my controller except login controller
but its doesn't seems to work, 
this is my filter config

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace Config;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;
use CodeIgniter\Filters\CSRF;
use CodeIgniter\Filters\DebugToolbar;
use CodeIgniter\Filters\Honeypot;

class Filters extends BaseConfig
{
    /**
    * Configures aliases for Filter classes to
    * make reading things nicer and simpler.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public $aliases = [
        'csrf'    => CSRF::class,
        'toolbar'  => DebugToolbar::class,
        'honeypot' => Honeypot::class,
        'loginfilter' => \App\Filters\LoginFilter::class
    ];

    /**
    * List of filter aliases that are always
    * applied before and after every request.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public $globals = [
        'before' => [
            'loginfilter' => ['except' => 'Login/*'],
            // 'csrf',
        ],
        'after' => [
            'toolbar',
            // 'honeypot',
        ],
    ];

    /**
    * List of filter aliases that works on a
    * particular HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.).
    *
    * Example:
    * 'post' => ['csrf', 'throttle']
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public $methods = [];

    /**
    * List of filter aliases that should run on any
    * before or after URI patterns.
    *
    * Example:
    * 'isLoggedIn' => ['before' => ['account/*', 'profiles/*']]
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public $filters = [];
} 


this is my filter

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Filters;

use CodeIgniter\HTTP\RequestInterface;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\ResponseInterface;
use CodeIgniter\Filters\FilterInterface;

class LoginFilter implements FilterInterface
{
    public function before(RequestInterface $request, $arguments = null)
    {
        if(empty(session()->login)){
            return redirect()->to(base_url());
        }
    }

    public function after(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, $arguments = null)
    {
        // Do something here
    }
} 


and this is my routing, im using autorouting. Like Default Class/Function/Parameter Routing

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace Config;

// Create a new instance of our RouteCollection class.
$routes = Services::routes();

// Load the system's routing file first, so that the app and ENVIRONMENT
// can override as needed.
if (file_exists(SYSTEMPATH . 'Config/Routes.php')) {
    require SYSTEMPATH . 'Config/Routes.php';
}

/*
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Router Setup
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 */
$routes->setDefaultNamespace('App\Controllers');
$routes->setDefaultController('Login');
$routes->setDefaultMethod('index');
$routes->setTranslateURIDashes(false);
$routes->set404Override();
$routes->setAutoRoute(true);

/*
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Route Definitions
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 */

// We get a performance increase by specifying the default
// route since we don't have to scan directories.
$routes->get('/', 'Login::index');

/*
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Additional Routing
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * There will often be times that you need additional routing and you
 * need it to be able to override any defaults in this file. Environment
 * based routes is one such time. require() additional route files here
 * to make that happen.
 *
 * You will have access to the $routes object within that file without
 * needing to reload it.
 */
if (file_exists(APPPATH . 'Config/' . ENVIRONMENT . '/Routes.php')) {
    require APPPATH . 'Config/' . ENVIRONMENT . '/Routes.php';
}

it got me error like ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.  


help please

Hi. You get error because of redirect loop.

---

Problem is here:

Code:

loginfilter' => ['except' => 'Login/*'],

So when you enter to the login page, user is not authenticated so filter sends him to the base_url().
But in "base_url" your global filter apply again, so filter redirect user to base_url() again and it's an infinite loop.

Solution:
Try to change it like:

Code:

'loginfilter' => ['except' => ['/','login', 'login/*']],

It works like a charm, thank you mr manager

i get it now so the '/' is the base_url, and i dont include it inside except. so it become infinite loops.
