laravel 9 - Call to undefined method App\Models\User::create() with KeycloakUser - php

Question

I have a new Laravel 9 application and I am trying to use Keycloak as an SSO.
I am using this package to achieve that. I created the migrations and the seeders to have some data. I am using my own user model extending the KeycloakUser provided by the package.
My seeder does not run and I get this error message:
Call to undefined method App\Models\User::create()
My Model
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Vizir\KeycloakWebGuard\Models\KeycloakUser;
class User extends KeycloakUser
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array<int, string>
*/
protected $fillable = [
'firstname',
'surname',
'email',
'role',
];
/**
* Get the company that owns the user.
*/
public function company()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Company::class);
}
/**
* Get the comments for the user.
*/
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
}
The migration
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('firstname');
$table->string('surname');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->unsignedBigInteger('company_id')->nullable();
$table->enum('role', ['user', 'admin', 'superadmin'])->default('user');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('company_id')->references('id')->on('companies');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
};
The seeder
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\User;
class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
User::create([
'firstname' => 'Aaaa',
'surname' => 'Bbbb',
'email' => 'ab#first.com',
'role' => 'superadmin',
]);
}
}

What you can try to do is copy KeycloakUser into app\Models.
Rename the file and class to User and than add extends Model.
namespace Vizir\KeycloakWebGuard\Models;
use Auth;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model implements Authenticatable
{
....
// all of these methods are originated from KeycloakUser
And dont forget to adjust your config/auth.php
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'keycloak-users',
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],
// ...
]
