Working fine with my form, suddenly showing TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php line 68:.

Couldan't figure out why it is happening?

@tomi

Thank you for your post. However, I checked that issue, I didn't do anything wrong...

@Kristories

Yup... even form is generating CSRF code.

Check your session setting. Also confirm you got same session id on different pages. Token saved in session and if session id changed due to file storage issue or session domain configuration issue it will not matched.

Following token match method from Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken :

protected function tokensMatch($request)
    {
        $sessionToken = $request->session()->token();

        $token = $request->input('_token') ?: $request->header('X-CSRF-TOKEN');

        if (! $token && $header = $request->header('X-XSRF-TOKEN')) {
            $token = $this->encrypter->decrypt($header);
        }

        if (! is_string($sessionToken) || ! is_string($token)) {
            return false;
        }

        return hash_equals($sessionToken, $token);
    }

I get that exception randomly in production apps. Bugsnag reports are of no use. However, it usually involves someone who clears there browser history and cookies often or uses a VPN. I get probably one or two per week.

Diving in further. I have been watching these exceptions closely because it usually occurs with the same users. I find that the app doesn't find a token and issues a new one. Meanwhile, it finds the remember token exists. I am not sure if that is a good lead but I am watching.

for those who is suffering from this problem while writing an API and testing it with Postman .. here is how i fixed it :

1- make sure that you added a header with key = X-Requested-With , value = XMLHttpRequest .

2 - ((more important)) go to app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider , and find the function mapWebRoutes() , and remove the section " middleware('web') -> " that totally worked for me ..

If you already set the csrf_field() and tried everything else, try the following steps

  1). Remove 'SESSION_DRIVER' field from your .env
  2). Go to your config/session.php and in domain mark the second parameter of env() 
    to null i.e.

  'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', null)

  3). Run php artisan cache:config and php artisan cache:clear 
  4). Restart the server and clear your browser cache, and whoaa may be all things are 
  up and running now.

In your storage/cache folder you will find a session file. Delete it.
