The error message suggests that the $guard argument passed to the RedirectIfTwoFactorAuthenticatable constructor is null, but it should be an instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard. This could be caused by a misconfiguration of the authentication guards in the config/auth.php file or in the fortify.php file if you are using Laravel Fortify.
To fix this issue, make sure that you have defined the guards correctly in the configuration files and that you are passing the correct guard name to the RedirectIfAuthenticated middleware. Also, make sure that you have imported the Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard class in the file where the RedirectIfTwoFactorAuthenticatable class is defined.
Here's an example of how to define multiple guards in the config/auth.php file:
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'admin' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'admins',
],
],
And here's an example of how to use the RedirectIfAuthenticated middleware with multiple guards:
Route::middleware(['auth:web,admin'])->group(function () {
// Routes that require authentication for both web and admin guards
});
Route::middleware(['auth:web'])->group(function () {
// Routes that require authentication for the web guard only
});
Route::middleware(['auth:admin'])->group(function () {
// Routes that require authentication for the admin guard only
});
Make sure that you are passing the correct guard name to the Auth::guard() method in the RedirectIfAuthenticated middleware. For example, if you want to check if the user is authenticated with the admin guard, you should call Auth::guard('admin')->check().
If you are still having issues, try clearing the cache and restarting the server:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan serve
