How are your casting? What does your $casts array look like?
Can you show your code?

Error when query on User model
I'm getting this error when i do a query on the User model, the column notification emails is cast to array, so i don't really know what that means, any idea?
Call to undefined cast [Array] on column [notification_emails] in model [App\Models\User].

Primitive cast names are case-sensitive. Use a lowercase array for your cast.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
// other code
protected $casts = [
// ... other casts
'notification_emails' => 'array', // all lower case
];
}
As Laravel can't figure which cast type you want, it tries instantiating a custom cast class named Array.

I’m using array in lowercase. This error appears after upgrading to Laravel 8

@socieboy Have you checked this discussion? It seems almost the same issue. https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/array-casting-with-index-in-api-resource
Level 56
The error message is from Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\InvalidCastException
And this exception is only thrown from the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasAttributes trait used by the base Eloquent Model class
When it is checking for a cast it couldn't find.
You either have the cast set with a capital A somewhere (check also for ->withCasts(...) usage in a query result), or have a cache problem (remove any .php files from your ./bootstrap/cache folder and then run composer dump-autoload).
Hope some of it helps.

Here My error message
Call to undefined cast [numeric] on column [from] in model

@socieboy I just upgrade to Laravel 8 and have this error too

@mengthong there isn't a cast called numeric.
You can see the list of the built-in casts in the docs:
https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent-mutators#attribute-casting
You might try either integer, decimal, double, float, or real. (note that the decimal cast requires a precision parameter)
If you need a cast that works with both integers and floats, you can try writing a custom cast:
https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent-mutators#custom-casts
Note: please do not reply to threads so old. This thread is 2 years old already. Laravel changes in a fast pace, so things can be quite different, and some responders are not active after a while.
You are better off creating a new thread. Linking to an old thread as an example of what you have already attempted is fine.
