Cannot use multiple guards

[bimix]

Description

I have a controller where I create users. I currently have 2 guards: 'web' and 'mobile'. When creating users with guard_name in roles/permissions as 'web' it works fine because the Spatie functions such as syncRoles and assignRole use 'web' by default. But how do I force it to use 'mobile' guard name when the user role is 'app-user' ?
Note: I am not talking about the authentication part, only the user creation.

I marked this as a bug because the package doc states that it does support multiple guard names for roles but doesn't seem to support it.

public function store(UserRequest $request)
 {
     $validated = $request->validated();
     $role = Role::findOrFail($validated['role_id']);
     $guardName = $role->name === RolesEnum::APPUSER->value ? GuardEnum::MOBILE->value : GuardEnum::WEB->value;
     $role->guard_name = $guardName;        
     $user = User::create($validated);
     $user->syncRoles([$role->name]); // It fails in syncRoles function
     return ModelResource::make($user)->withCode(201);
 }    

My auth.php configs:

'defaults' => [
     'guard' => env('AUTH_GUARD', 'web'),
     'passwords' => env('AUTH_PASSWORD_BROKER', 'users'),
 ],
 'guards' => [
     'web' => [
         'driver' => 'session',
         'provider' => 'users',
     ],
     'mobile' => [
         'driver' => 'sanctum',
         'provider' => 'users',
         'hash' => false,
     ],
     'api' => [
         'driver' => 'sanctum', // You may use 'sanctum' or 'passport' if configured
         'provider' => 'users',
         'hash' => false, // Optional, useful if using Laravel Passport or Sanctum
     ],
 ]

and the User model:

class User extends Authenticatable
{
	use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable, HasRoles;

	protected $table = 'users';

	protected $guard_name = ['web', 'mobile'];
}

Error:

There is no role named app-user for guard web

Steps To Reproduce

1. Follow all steps in doc to install and configure the package.
2. Create a controller to create users.
3. Create two users with two different guard names.

@parallels999 not related to my issue. That post talks about the wrong default guard. In my case, the correct default guard is being used, but I am having trouble assigning a role to a new user because that role uses another guard (not the default one).

So, you could add a default unique guard for everything, Would that solve your problem?
or do you need to have different guard roles/permissions?

@parallels999 I need 2 guards as I have web and mobile app users. The 'web' guard is not typically used for mobile apps.

It seems that you did not understand correctly

I'm not saying that you delete guards in Laravel, I'm saying that you use a default guard_name in Laravel permission, so you can reuse the same roles/permissions in any Laravel guard

guard_name

@parallels999 ok so I can use the same guard_name for all roles/permissions, but I can keep using different guards for web and app users in Laravel?

This is a workaround but its fine with me. I will leave this open meanwhile.
