Filter Config not quite working with Routes?

[Pantoflarz]

It feels like there is very little proper documentation on these filters.
They are a very good addon, but a little clarification would be good.

We have a filter, sessioncheckGlobal which deals with making sure that a user is logged in prior to accessing a webpage. The config for this filter is the following:

public $globals = [
		'before' => [
			'sessioncheckGlobal' => ['except' => ['maintenance', 'browseroutofdate', 'login', 'logout', 'website']],
		],
		'after'  => [
			'toolbar',
		],
	];

Where 'website' is in the exception list, it doesn't work.
Neither does '' (a blank element) or '/' (which stops the filter running at all).

So I guess the first question is, how do you make a filter not run on the main page where the main page is configured as the default controller?

In our case, the default controller is app/Controllers/Website/Website.php and the App is configured to route in this way:

$routes->get('/', 'Website/Website::index');

Second question, why does the following config make logincheck run on /admin/login ?

public $filters = [
		'loginfilter' => ['before' => ['login']],
	];

More routes if it helps:

$routes->get('/login', 'Dashboard/Login::index');
$routes->get('/admin/login', 'Admin/Login::index');
$routes->get('/admin/dashboard', 'Admin/Dashboard::index');

My understanding is that this filter should only run on website.com/login and not website.com/admin/login (if I wanted this behaviour, I should put "*/login" instead, right?)

Just in case it makes it any easier, our Controller structure:

Controllers
- Admin
      - Dashboard
      - Login
- Dashboard
      - Dashboard
      - Login
- Website
      - Website

Running CodeIgniter 4.0.0-beta.3
on PHP 7.3.5-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1

I know the way I've explained is very confusing but I've been sat looking at this all day and I'm going a bit crazy. Any better documentation or explanation would help, though I am not sure if its an issue with our configs or the actual framework.

Thanks

This is asking for help, not filing a bug. For help, please use our forums.

Luckily, one of your friends has already opened a thread there.

This is showing you incorrect behaviour of a feature - exactly what I consider to be a bug.

[lonnieezell]

Right - but your initial post was "I'm not sure if this is a bug or if we're not doing it right." Which means you're asking for help. A bug report is "If I do X, then Y happens" and it should do "Z", with easily reproducible steps. Your post did reveal one bug with the login route which was fixed last night, but I was unable to replicate the primary thing you were asking for help on.

See the forum for more details.

@Pantoflarz Have you found a fix for this. I also checked the linked forum post didn't find a fix there either.
