Nova guard Issue

[stufarquhar]

Seem to have an issue with signing into the Nova dashboard after adding this package. I have a guard of Admin App\Admin who has access to the dashboard, but this is the error i get.

"Method Illuminate\View\View::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught ErrorException: Argument 1 passed to Whitecube\NovaPage\NovaPagePolicy::viewAny() must be an instance of App\User, instance of App\Admin given, called in /Users/xxxxx/xxxxx/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/Access/Gate.php on line 614"

Any thoughts??

i got this working by changing the vendor file "NovaPagePolicy" which is not ideal. Is there some config around updating the model. See changes ....

namespace Whitecube\NovaPage;

use App\Admin; use Illuminate\Auth\Access\HandlesAuthorization;

class NovaPagePolicy { use HandlesAuthorization;

public function viewAny(Admin $admin)
{
    return true;
}

Hi @stufarquhar,

Thank you for opening this issue!

It's true the NovaPagePolicy class is currently not very useful, I think we could simply remove the type-hinting from the method arguments. However, shouldn't your App\Admin model extend App\User? I don't know your application of course, but this sounds like a simple and logical workaround.

I'll take a closer look at this policy issue as soon as possible. I'll probably simply remove the Gate::policy() statements since it should be the developer's choice to apply them.

NovaPagePolicy has been removed. You can now apply your own authorizations if necessary.

The update will be part of the package's next release. Meanwhile you could set "whitecube/nova-page" to "dev-master" in your composer.json.
