Policy Authorize Redirect Instead of 403

You can do this in the Exceptions\Handler.php file

The render method overrides the classes AuthorizationException which is what authorize() will throw if a user is denied.

Inside the render method you could do

if($exception instanceof AuthorizationException) {
//your code
}

Thank you

I think in newer versions of Laravel (I'm using 5.6 now) mentioned solution won't work.

@afshin.asghari It does work, putting $exception instanceof AuthorizationException into the render method of a handler :)

@crnkovic I'm putting exactly

    if ($exception instanceof AuthorizationException){
        return redirect(route('profile.index'));
    }

above return parent::render($request, $exception); line

in the render method , but its not effective can you guide me through whats wrong?

update:

I removed the if condition and it works but of course it return all kinds of error to profile , maybe the Exception that Gate throws is not Authorization ?

Imported AuthorizationException? I tested ir on my machine on 5.6 and works just fine.

@crnkovic Can't believe I didn't import it first Thanks a lot, it worked!
