Laravel Email Verification link not working? - php

Question

I have set up an email verification to my Laravel APP, however when I register as a user and go to mailtrap.io and when I click on "Verify Email Address" button I get 403 This action is unauthorized, HOWEVER if I click on resend verification mail and then click on the button it works fine.
Here are my web routes:
Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
Route::get('/', 'HomeController#index')->name('home');
Route::resource('challenge', 'ChallengesController');
Route::post('/challenge/join/{id}', 'ChallengesController#joinChallenge')->name('challenge.join');
Route::delete('/challenge/finish/{id}', 'ChallengesController#finishChallenge')->name('challenge.finish');
In my User model, I have implemented MustVerifyEmail
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'user_id', 'name', 'username', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
protected $keyType = 'string';
}
UPDATE
Here is my HomeController:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware(['verified', 'auth']);
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
$user_id = auth()->id();
$user = User::find($user_id);
return view('home')
->with('challenges', $user->challenges)
->with('userChallenges', $user->userChallenges);
}
}
RegisterController:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
| validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to
| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
|
*/
use RegistersUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after registration.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'username' => ['required', 'string', 'max:45', 'unique:users'],
'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \App\User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'user_id' => uniqid(),
'username' => $data['username'],
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
}
}

Make sure you don't have your authentication paths inside the auth middleware
Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
});
