Class name must be a valid object or a string

[mvaliolahi]

i use below code for remove one record from roles table:

        if ( $role = Role::find($id)) {
            $role->delete();

            return response()->json(['status' => 'success', 'message' => 'operation was successful.']);
        }

but, an error happen and the message is:

Class name must be a valid object or a string

i google it!, for some answer i had to say config/entrust.php file exist.

i solved this problem by use Role::whereId($id)->delete();

I am currently experiencing the same problem. In the EntrustRoleTrait, there is a Config call like this: Config::get('auth.model') and the install documentation is not setting this parameter unless I don't understand it. So it's null. The documentation sets auth.providers.users.model setting . I dont think it's coincidence, now in the dev-master there is exactly Config::get('auth.providers.users.model')

I'll check to switch to dev-master.

I'm rather new to Laravel and while trying to follow the instructions for setting up entrust, I cannot run the entrust:migration command without receiving this same error. Am I doing something wrong with the way I set up my config/auth.php perhaps?

'providers' => [ 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'eloquent', 'model' => App\User::class, 'table' => 'users', ],

Any help would be immensely appreciated!

@andrewelkins I also hit this Error. Please upload the new style in master.

Add this method in Role model

dont forget to get Config Class: use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config; public function users() { return $this->belongsToMany(Config::get('auth.providers.users.model'),Config::get('entrust.role_user_table'),Config::get('entrust.role_foreign_key'),Config::get('entrust.user_foreign_key'));

}

use this code YourModle::whereId($id)->delete();

[jilenloa]

Add this in your config/auth.php

'model' => \App\User::class,
