syntax error, unexpected token "try"

My email verification controller doesn't work anymore since my last manual (minor) upgrade of Laravel ("laravel/framework": "^8.12").

I'm getting this error in the logs:

[2021-05-17 13:34:03] local.ERROR: syntax error, unexpected token "try" {"exception":"[object] (ParseError(code: 0): syntax error, unexpected token \"try\" at /srv/www/api/packages/my-vendor/my-project/src/Http/Controllers/Auth/EmailVerificationController.php:71)

In my EmailVerificationController, at line 71, I have this:

public function verify(Request $request)
{
    try {
        if (Crypt::decrypt($request->route('hash')) != $request->user()->id) {
            abort(400);
        }
    } catch (DecryptException $e) {
        abort(400);
    }

    if ($request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
        return response('Email already verified.', 204);
    }

    if ($request->user()->markEmailAsVerified()) {
        return $request->user();
    }

    abort(400);
}

What's wrong with this method ?

Hello @devondahon ,

Can you add rest of the code inside try block and check?

<?php
	public function verify(Request  $request) {
		try {
			if (Crypt::decrypt($request->route('hash') != $request->user()->id) {
				abort(400);
			}
			if ($request->user()->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
				return  response('Email already verified.',  204);
			}
			if ($request->user()->markEmailAsVerified()) {
				return  $request->user();
			}
			abort(400);
		}catch (DecryptException  $e) {
			abort(400);
		}
	}
?>

@abhijeet9920 Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, I had typo in a log line at the beginning (missing semi column).

Unfortunately, I can't delete this post.
