hey guys I am trying to implement middleware in my next js 12.2. I have created middleware.tsx file inside pages folder and used this code. 
// eslint-disable-next-line @next/next/no-server-import-in-page
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  console.log(request);
  return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/auth/signup/email", request.url));
}

export const config = {
  matcher: "/",
};

but nothig is happening nor I am getting any error. please let me how should I configure it with next 12.2

I don't think the middleware file is supposed to go in /pages, it should be in /src if you have it, otherwise in the project root.

Sir lets say I have put in my middleware.tsx file where .env is. I dont have src folder. Do I have to add anything in next config

yes sir, the company where I am working is using next 12.2 and storing user session in redux state. now they want protected routes. I was thinking of using useEffect on pages to check the auth session but they have lot of pages and its hard to put same logic on every pages
