Laravel App：在未调用函数之前

Question

I am having a problem with an application running Laravel 4.1 and trying to get filters working.

Within my filters file I have the following code residing in my filters.php:

echo 'here1';
App::before(function($request)
{
    die('here2');
    //
});

When I make a request to the application in my browser, then I get the first echo but I can't get the die to work indicating that this function is not being run.

I am not getting errors on screen or in the logs.

Can anybody shed any light as to why this before function is not being called?

Many thanks, G.

Matt Burrow pointed me in the right direction.

Filters are in fact disabled in testing mode as standard in Laravel (thank you Laravel documentation for making this obvious).

So, I put the following code into the configuration file for my testing environment and the filters started working:

Route::enableFilters();

Many thanks, G.
