Summary

Overriding ~getMiddleware switched dispatch onto the compat path, which called the bare route handler. Per-route middleware then ran only if the override happened to put it in its list. A custom override that returns this['~middleware'] served the handler with no route middleware and no error.

The compat path now appends any route.data.middleware entries the override did not already include (by function identity), copying the array so a return of this['~middleware'] is not mutated. Nitro-style overrides that already push(...route.data.middleware) keep a single run.

Fixes #1525

Test plan

  • pnpm exec vitest --run test/unit/middleware.test.ts — 12 passed
  • Without the dispatcher change, #1525 fails (seen === ['global'])
  • Nitro-style re-add still runs route middleware once (['global', 'route'])

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved middleware handling when custom middleware overrides are used.
    • Route-specific middleware now runs reliably, avoids duplicate execution, and preserves intentional duplicate registrations.
    • Existing middleware configurations remain unchanged.

The compat dispatcher used the bare route handler, so an override that
returns only global middleware silently dropped per-route middleware.
Append any route middleware the override did not already include, without
mutating the returned array, so Nitro-style re-adds still run once.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The custom ~getMiddleware path now preserves route middleware, avoids mutating override results, and preserves intentional duplicate registrations. Tests cover overrides that omit route middleware and overrides that explicitly append it.

Changes

Middleware preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dispatch merge and compatibility coverage
src/h3.ts, test/unit/middleware.test.ts
The dispatcher compares middleware lists by identity and appends route middleware when the override omits it. Tests verify route execution, non-mutation, and duplicate registrations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Poem

A rabbit checks the middleware trail,
Route steps return without fail.
Lists stay still, duplicates remain,
Tests hop neatly through the chain.
“Hop!” says the bunny, “all is clear!”

…ware

includes() treated a global registration as proof the route occurrence
already ran, so the same function on app.use() and the route executed
once instead of twice. Append the route chain unless the override
already returned it as a suffix (Nitro).

Use options objects and move internal helpers.

sameMiddlewareList and middlewareListEndsWith use two positional parameters. Replace the second parameter with a named options object. Move these internal helpers to the end of src/h3.ts or to src/utils/internal/.

Proposed signature change
-function sameMiddlewareList(a: Middleware[], b: Middleware[]): boolean {
+function sameMiddlewareList(
+  a: Middleware[],
+  options: { list: Middleware[] },
+): boolean {
+  const { list: b } = options;
   return a.length === b.length && a.every((mw, i) => mw === b[i]);
 }
 
-function middlewareListEndsWith(list: Middleware[], suffix: Middleware[]): boolean {
+function middlewareListEndsWith(
+  list: Middleware[],
+  options: { suffix: Middleware[] },
+): boolean {
+  const { suffix } = options;

As per coding guidelines: “Use an options object as the second parameter for multi-argument functions” and “Place internal helpers at the end of files or in src/utils/internal/.”

In `@src/h3.ts` around lines 151 - 161, Update sameMiddlewareList and
middlewareListEndsWith to accept a named options object as their second
parameter instead of a positional Middleware[] argument, and update every call
site accordingly. Move both internal helpers to the end of src/h3.ts or into
src/utils/internal/, preserving their existing comparison behavior.
