@aqeel94321 you forgot to add 'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleMiddleware::class, to routeMiddleware array in your app/Http/Kernel.php file.

I've already added the necessary role middleware, but the issue still persists. When I log in and get successfully redirected to the admin dashboard, I encounter the following error:
pgsql Copy Edit Target class [role] does not exist. It seems Laravel can't resolve the role middleware. I've verified that I'm using Spatie's roles and permissions package.
Any help or suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Laravel 11/12
In Laravel 11/12 open /bootstrap/app.php and register them there:
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
$middleware->web(append: [
...
]);
$middleware->alias([
'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware::class,
'permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware::class,
'role_or_permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class,
]);
})
Add the necessary trait to your User.php model:
use HasRoles;
In Laravel 9 and 10 you can add them in app/Http/Kernel.php:
Add these two in app/Http/Kernel.php in protected $routeMiddleware = [] array.
'permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\PermissionMiddleware::class,
'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleMiddleware::class,
Laravel 10
// Laravel 9 uses $routeMiddleware = [ //protected $routeMiddleware = [
// Laravel 10+ uses $middlewareAliases = [
protected $middlewareAliases = [
'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleMiddleware::class,
'permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\PermissionMiddleware::class,
'role_or_permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class,
];
NOTE
YOU SHOULD ALSO set the $middlewarePriority array to include this package's middleware before the SubstituteBindings middleware, else you may get 404 Not Found responses when a 403 Not Authorized response might be expected.

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/issues/408#issuecomment-1793780950 this works for me Laravel 10

If you are using middleware like 'role:admin', you first need to register it as stated here: https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-permission/v6/basic-usage/middleware . Different versions require different paths, so find the version you are using and update!

this solved the error for me
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application; use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions; use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(DIR)) ->withRouting( web: DIR.'/../routes/web.php', commands: DIR.'/../routes/console.php', health: '/up', ) ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { $middleware->alias([ 'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleMiddleware::class, 'permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware::class, 'role_or_permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middleware\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class, ]); }) ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) { // })->create();
Level 10
For latest Laravel versions where Kernel.php doesn't exist, you should add middleware aliases to bootstrap/app.php file like this:
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void { // Add aliases for the Spatie Permission package middleware $middleware->alias([ 'role' => RoleMiddleware::class, 'permission' => PermissionMiddleware::class, 'role_or_permission' => RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class, ]); })
