Description

I don't know if it's a bug. I have a custom user (tmeUser). I use two types of sessions, the other being the one that comes by default in Laravel (user). When I create a policy, I indicate that tmeUser has to arrive, but I always get the same error.

Steps To Reproduce

When I create a policy, I indicate that tmeUser has to arrive

/**
* @param TmeUser $tmeUser
* @param Phrase $phrase
* @return bool
*/
public function view(TmeUser $tmeUser, Phrase $phrase)
{
return $tmeUser->id === $phrase->tme_user_id;
}

But I always get the error:

App\Policies\PhrasePolicy::view(): Argument #1 ($tmeUser) must be of type App\Models\TmeUser, App\Models\User given, called in .....\laravel\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Auth\Access\Gate.php on line 816

In Laravel 10 and earlier there has never been any problem, tmeUser always came up. I have created the same project in Laravel 11 and I am encountering this problem.

How are you using the policy? In the "can" middleware? Are you calling $tmeUser->can('view', $phrase) directly? Or using Gate::authorize('view', $phrase)?

Using an express call to tmeUser from the controller I have managed to get tmeUser to the policy

if (Gate::forUser(tmeUser)->denies('pass', $phrase)) {
abort(403);
}

So I guess it can be closed because there are ways to solve it.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if it would be possible to call the policy using middleware in routes.php as I have done in previous versions of Laravel.

Route::get('phrases/{phrase}/edit','edit')->name('phrases.edit')->middleware('can:pass,phrase');
