Auth::user(), not working

[crynobone]

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

It might be challenging to reproduce this bug, but I can add you as a contributor to the project so you can examine the issue.

`Route::prefix("School")->group(function () {

Route::get('get_bills_for_school', [intel::class, 'get_bills_for_school'])->name('get_bills_for_school');

});`

` public function get_bills_for_school()
{
try {

        if (Auth::user()) {
            return Auth::user();
        } else {
            return response()->json([
                "status" => false,
                "message" => "User not found",
            ]);
        }
        
        $bills_data = tblbills::where('sch_code', Auth::user()->schoolCode);

        return response()->json([
            "status" => true,
            "data" => ResourceBills::collection($bills_data),

        ]);
    } catch (\Throwable $th) {
        //throw $th;
        return response()->json([
            "status" => false,
            "system" => true,
            "message" => 'Error: ' . $th->getMessage(),
        ], 500);
    }
}`     After authentication, some methods in a controller can successfully retrieve the authenticated user using Auth::user(), while other methods in the same controller cannot. This phenomenon is quite strange.  For Example this is the responds i get from this method `{

"status": false,
"message": "User not found"
}` I have encountered this problem multiple times in the past.

Have you added the Auth middleware in routes? As it did not available in your last comment where you added the Route definition. So, I am confirming.
