php - Laravel Blade @can Not Working, But in_array(Auth::user()->getAllPermissions()) Does - Stack Overflow

My Questions: Why does @can('view_permission_categories') fail, while in_array(Auth::user()->getAllPermissions()->pluck('name')->toArray()) works? How can I debug why @can is not recognizing the permission? Is there something specific I need to configure for Spatie's Laravel Permission to make @can work correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What I Have Tried:

1. Checked If the User Has the Permission: dd(Auth::user()->can('view_permission_categories'));

2.Ensured Roles & Permissions Are Loaded: $currentUser = Auth::user()->load('roles.permissions');

Still, @can does not work.

3.Cleared Cache: php artisan cache:clear php artisan config:clear php artisan view:clear php artisan route:clear php artisan permission:cache-reset

4.Checked AuthServiceProvider.php for Gate Definitions:

`use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
public function boot()
{
    Gate::define('view_permission_categories', function ($user) {
    return $user->hasPermissionTo('view_permission_categories');
});
}
`

I am working on a Laravel 11 project using Spatie's Laravel Permission package for role-based access control.

I have the following Blade template where I want to conditionally display a sidebar link based on whether the authenticated user has the view_permission_categories permission.

`@php
    $userPermissions = Auth::user()->getAllPermissions()->pluck('name')-    >toArray();
@endphp

@if(in_array('view_permission_categories', $userPermissions))
<li>
    <x-nav-link href="/permissioncategories" :active="request()-    >is('permissioncategories')">Permission Categories</x-nav-link>
</li>
@endif

@can('view_permission_categories')
<li>
    <x-nav-link href="/permissioncategories" :active="request()- >is('permissioncategories')">Permission Categories</x-nav-link>
</li>
@endcan

`

The Issue: The @if(in_array(...)) condition works as expected, and the link appears. The @can(...) condition does NOT work, meaning the

• What you get with this dd(Auth::user()->can('view_permission_categories'));? If it is true then it quite weird. Try using @if with auth()->user()->can('view_permission_categories') – Hoang Commented Mar 12 at 9:51
• dd(Auth::user()->can('view_permission_categories')); gives false – Sanskar Commented Mar 12 at 11:03

hmmm, there must be some issue with your traits of polices try the below solutions

Check If Policies or Gates Are Set Up Correctly

dd(Auth::user()->can('view_permission_categories'));

Ensure You're Using Laravel's Built-In Permission Handling
If you're using Spatie's Laravel Permissions Package, make sure you've set up your permissions correctly:

use Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasRoles;
}

Make sure permissions are registered in app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

public function boot()
{
    $this->registerPolicies();

    Gate::before(function ($user, $ability) {
        return $user->hasPermissionTo($ability) ? true : null;
    });
}

Check If Your Permission Syncing Is Correct

dd(Auth::user()->getAllPermissions());

Explicitly Check the Role (If Using Role-Based Permissions)

@hasanyrole('admin|editor')
    <li>
        <x-nav-link href="/permissioncategories" :active="request()->is('permissioncategories')">Permission Categories</x-nav-link>
    </li>
@endhasanyrole

I hope from above you get your solution
