Laravel - Unauthenticated redirect issue with multiple authentication

Question

I have a multiple authentication system set up in Laravel 5.7

There is an 'admin' section of the site and a 'learner' section of the site. When you try to access a portion of either site, it redirects you the correct login page if you're not logged in yet.

However, if follow these steps, I come across an issue with the redirects:

1. I try to access a portion (not the login) of the 'admin' site, which redirects me to the admin login.
2. Then if I link DIRECTLY to the login section of the 'learner' page and log in, instead of going to the home page it will redirect me back to the admin login.

It properly logs me in, but improperly redirects to the other login page. The issue also happens vice versa, if I get an automatic redirect to the 'learner' then link directly to the admin login page and log in.

I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the unaunthenticated function I've placed in the Exception/Handler.php file, but I can't figure out where to go from there.

protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception)
    {
        if ($request->expectsJson()) {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
        }
        $guard = array_get($exception->guards(), 0);
        switch ($guard) {
            case 'learner':
                $login = 'learner.login';
                break;
            default:
                $login = 'login';
                break;
        }
        return redirect()->guest(route($login));
    }

Using each separate login page works fine. It's just when you follow the process above that I see issues.

I use separate middleware in each controller like this:

Admin Home Controller

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

Admin login controller:

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }

Learner home controller

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:learner');

    }

Learner login Controller:

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest:learner')->except('logout');
    }

Solution: Clearing out the intended url with Session:forget('url.intended');

protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception)
    {
        // dd($exception);
        if ($request->expectsJson()) {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
        }
        $guard = array_get($exception->guards(), 0);
        switch ($guard) {
            case 'learner':
                $login = 'learner.login';
                break;
            default:
                $login = 'login';
                break;
        }
        Session::forget('url.intented'); 
        return redirect()->route($login);
    }
