Attempt to read property "welcome_valid_until" on string

[RoguePoma]

Hello, I've used this package with Laravel 8, and it worked a treat! Now I am working on a new project on Laravel 9 and whatever I do I can't get it to work.

Php Version: 8.1.6 Laravel Version: 9.19.0

This is the error message I receive: Attempt to read property "welcome_valid_until" on string

Looking deeper, it looks like the request in the WelcomesNewUsers doesn't pass a user object and just the id integer. But im unsure if I'm looking in the right place.

Has anyone faced this issue? Or know a solution?

I am using it on Laravel 9 without any problem. Did you follow the instructions or did you modify anything specific? Maybe show some code.

I'm also getting this error after trying to install this package for the first time today. I followed the setup instructions exactly as described.

I resolved this by creating my own WelcomesNewUsers middleware

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use App\Models\User;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Closure;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class WelcomesNewUsers
{
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {

        if (! $request->hasValidSignature()) {
            abort(Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN, __('The welcome link does not have a valid signature or is expired.'));
        }

        $user = User::find($request->user)->first();

        if (! $user) {
            abort(Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN, __('Could not find a user to be welcomed.'));
        }

        if (is_null($user->welcome_valid_until)) {
            abort(Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN, __('The welcome link has already been used.'));
        }

        if (Carbon::create($user->welcome_valid_until)->isPast()) {
            abort(Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN, __('The welcome link has expired.'));
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}
