Error authorizing tool using gate about nova-settings-tool HOT 5 CLOSED

Finally figured it out - $request->user() returns the user using the default guard defined in config/auth.php. In my case Nova is not using the default guard thus null was being returned.

To solve this specify the guard used by Nova: $request->user('guard-name').

I can't reproduce this, are you absolutely sure the can() function that's returning null is that one, in that exact spot? What is the entire stack trace of the error you're getting?

Here is the full stack trace: https://flareapp.io/share/x7Xk2vOP#F66

The error is occurring with no other nova packages/tools so I can't figure out what else it would be.

Can you create a repo with a reproduction of that error? The code you shared in this issue works in a new app.

In that stack trace I can see that the error is happening at the /nova/settings URL but the canSee() and authorizedToSee() methods in the stack trace are part of Nova itself, I'm not overriding them.

Is your app doing anything that would change the behaviour of $request->user()? Is your Nova installation using any kind of custom auth stuff? What does your permissions.admin Gate actually look like?

Indeed the gate is weird, can confirm $request->user() is null for canSee(), in my case im using different guards for the nova panel, so might be the issue.
