appMiddleware in routeRules not working?

I want to run a middleware when my API in /server/api/admin/text-snippet.post.ts is being called but it doesn't run the middleware at all. Nuxt 3.12.2 nuxt.config.ts

routeRules: {
    "/portal": { redirect: START_PAGE_AFTER_LOGIN },
    '/portal/**': { ssr: false },
    '/server/api/admin/**': { appMiddleware: 'mytest' }
},

routeRules: {
    "/portal": { redirect: START_PAGE_AFTER_LOGIN },
    '/portal/**': { ssr: false },
    '/server/api/admin/**': { appMiddleware: 'mytest' }
},

middleware/mytest.ts

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, _from) => {
  console.log('getting in middleware') // <-- the issue: this is never being called
  return false
})

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async (to, _from) => {
  console.log('getting in middleware') // <-- the issue: this is never being called
  return false
})

server/api/admin/text-snippet.post.ts

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
    console.log('getting in API') // <-- getting called
    return { success: true }
})

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
    console.log('getting in API') // <-- getting called
    return { success: true }
})

Then, I access the API via Postman. Method: Post. URL: http://localhost:3000/api/admin/text-snippet The response is { success: true } What am I missing or is this a bug?

Thank you so much! I moved it into server/middleware and now it's being executed 🙂 And then if the user is for example not authorized I'd do something like this?

if (userNotAuthenticated) {
    throw createError({ status: 401 })
}

if (userNotAuthenticated) {
    throw createError({ status: 401 })
}

Alright–but it does the job in my case. Thank you! I was looking 2 hours for a solution––thank you 😄

how do u do that? how do u make a wrapper for defineEventHandler and where would u define it? in server/utils?
