laravel Trying to get property 'id' of non-object error - php

Question

I was working on another person's code and when I deployed the laravel app the login page works but when I input the testing credentials it spits out this error
Trying to get property 'id' of non-object
in helpers.php line 159
at HandleExceptions->handleError(8, 'Trying to get property \'id\' of non-object', '/var/www/html/first-project/app/Helpers/helpers.php', 159, array('fields' => object(Collection), 'fieldsValues' => object(Collection), 'htmlFields' => array(), 'startSeparator' => '<div style="flex: 50%;max-width: 50%;padding: 0 4px;" class="column">', 'endSeparator' => '</div>', 'field' => object(CustomField), 'dynamicVars' => array('$RANDOM_VARIABLE$' => 'var15931958241638660037ble', '$FIELD_NAME$' => 'phone', '$DISABLED$' => '', '$REQUIRED$' => '"required" => "required",', '$MODEL_NAME_SNAKE$' => 'user', '$FIELD_VALUE$' => '\'[phone]\'', '$INPUT_ARR_SELECTED$' => '[phone]'), 'gf' => object(GeneratorField), 'value' => object(CustomFieldValue)))

The actual function referred to is the following
function generateCustomField($fields, $fieldsValues = null)
{
$htmlFields = [];
$startSeparator = '<div style="flex: 50%;max-width: 50%;padding: 0 4px;" class="column">';
$endSeparator = '</div>';
foreach ($fields as $field) {
$dynamicVars = [
'$RANDOM_VARIABLE$' => 'var' . time() . rand() . 'ble',
'$FIELD_NAME$' => $field->name,
'$DISABLED$' => $field->disabled === true ? '"disabled" => "disabled",' : '',
'$REQUIRED$' => $field->required === true ? '"required" => "required",' : '',
'$MODEL_NAME_SNAKE$' => getOnlyClassName($field->custom_field_model),
'$FIELD_VALUE$' => 'null',
'$INPUT_ARR_SELECTED$' => '[]',
];
$gf = new GeneratorField();
if ($fieldsValues) {
foreach ($fieldsValues as $value) {
if ($field->id === $value->customField->id) {
$dynamicVars['$INPUT_ARR_SELECTED$'] = $value->value ? $value->value : '[]';
$dynamicVars['$FIELD_VALUE$'] = '\'' . addslashes($value->value) . '\'';
$gf->validations[] = $value->value;
continue;
}
}
}
// dd($gf->validations);
$gf->htmlType = $field['type'];
$gf->htmlValues = $field['values'];
$gf->dbInput = '';
if ($field['type'] === 'selects') {
$gf->htmlType = 'select';
$gf->dbInput = 'hidden,mtm';
}
$fieldTemplate = HTMLFieldGenerator::generateCustomFieldHTML($gf, config('infyom.laravel_generator.templates', 'adminlte-templates'));
if (!empty($fieldTemplate)) {
foreach ($dynamicVars as $variable => $value) {
$fieldTemplate = str_replace($variable, $value, $fieldTemplate);
}
$htmlFields[] = $fieldTemplate;
}
// dd($fieldTemplate);
}
foreach ($htmlFields as $index => $field) {
if (round(count($htmlFields) / 2) == $index + 1) {
$htmlFields[$index] = $htmlFields[$index] . "\n" . $endSeparator . "\n" . $startSeparator;
}
}
$htmlFieldsString = implode("\n\n", $htmlFields);
$htmlFieldsString = $startSeparator . "\n" . $htmlFieldsString . "\n" . $endSeparator;
// dd($htmlFieldsString);
$renderedHtml = "";
try {
$renderedHtml = render(Blade::compileString($htmlFieldsString));
// dd($renderedHtml);
} catch (FatalThrowableError $e) {
}
return $renderedHtml;
}
its usage is as follows in the controllers. It is used many times in almost all controllers for example in the UserController.php file I think this is the calling method. I am not that well versed in laravel sorry for any noob mistakes in advance.
public function profile()
{
$user = $this->userRepository->findWithoutFail(auth()->id());
unset($user->password);
$customFields = false;
$role = $this->roleRepository->pluck('name', 'name');
$rolesSelected = $user->getRoleNames()->toArray();
$customFieldsValues = $user->customFieldsValues()->with('customField')->get();
$hasCustomField = in_array($this->userRepository->model(), setting('custom_field_models', []));
if ($hasCustomField) {
$customFields = $this->customFieldRepository->findByField('custom_field_model', $this->userRepository->model());
$customFields = generateCustomField($customFields, $customFieldsValues);
}
return view('settings.users.profile', compact(['user', 'role', 'rolesSelected', 'customFields', 'customFieldsValues']));
}

Answer 1

You have to change this line
From
$user = $this->userRepository->findWithoutFail(auth()->id());
To
$user = $this->userRepository->findWithoutFail(auth()->user()->id());

Answer 2

My first guess, change this $user = $this->userRepository->findWithoutFail(auth()->id()); to $user = $this->userRepository->findWithoutFail(auth()->user()->id);
Added auth()->user()->id;
