Strapi middleware documentation states that to over ride a default/core middleware
all one needs to do is drop that middleware into your app at ./middlewares/

and modify the middleware as needed

I tried to over ride the responseTime middleware as per the documentation and placed the responseTime middleware from node_modules/strapi/lib/middlewares/responseTime to ./middlewares/responseTime
and made simple edits to the responseTime middleware

but the changes do not get reflected on the app

what am I missing?
help much appreciated!

I’m on the latest Strapi 3.0.1 mysql

Hello @negati-ve @guillermodoghel

Currently it is not possible to override a default middleware coming from the core packages. In this case you will need to disable the core middleware in the ./config/middleware.js using something like this:

module.exports = { settings: { responseTime: { enabled: false }, responseTimeNew: { enabled: true } } }

And create a new middleware with a different name in the ./middlewares folder and enable that.
