Laravel - Getting wrong guard model when I try to use multi authentication - php

Question

I'm having some problems with Laravel 5.7 multi-auth implementation.
I have created a new table for backend login: "AdminUsers".
So, I modified auth.php file:
return [
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'admin' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'admins',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'token',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => Ecommerce\User::class,
],
'admins' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'table' => Ecommerce\AdminUser::class,
],
],
'passwords' => [
'users' => [
'provider' => 'users',
'table' => 'password_resets',
'expire' => 60,
],
'admins' => [
'provider' => 'admins',
'table' => 'password_resets',
'expire' => 60,
],
],
];
Then, I create the AdminLoginController class:
<?php
namespace Ecommerce\Http\Controllers\Admin\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Ecommerce\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class AdminLoginController extends Controller
{
use AuthenticatesUsers;
protected $redirectTo = '/index';
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
public function showLoginForm()
{
return view('admin.auth.login');
}
protected function attemptLogin(Request $request)
{
return $this->guard('admin')->attempt(
$this->credentials($request), $request->filled('remember')
);
}
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
dd('authenticated!');
}
public function username()
{
return 'username';
}
}
I setted this routes in routes file:
Route::get ('/login', ['uses'=>'Auth\AdminLoginController#showLoginForm'])->name('login_page');
Route::post('/login', ['uses'=>'Auth\AdminLoginController#login' ])->name('do_login' );
The problem is, that when I do login, Laravel tries to use "users" guard instead of the defined "admin" guard. So that throw a SQL error (because I have not created the "Users" table in the DB).
Even if I do var_dump($this->guard('admin')) inside AdminLoginController::attemptLogin method, the response gives me a SessionGuard object with "Ecommerce\User" instead of "Ecommerce\AdminUser" that is the one defined as "admin" in auth.php guard array.
Anyone knows where else can I look to solve this?
Thanks!

The problem lies in your auth.php providers section.
'table' => Ecommerce\AdminUser::class
'table' should be replaced with 'model'.
