Hi @phrane,

This error reallys happens however only with your database without any users, for exemple after:

php artisan migrate:fresh

For code reuse purposes @jeffreyway made those changes in app.blade.php but login or register pages shouldn't use app.blade as layout justly because it use user data after the authentication - which has not yet occurred.

Remember: this wonderfull course meant to illustrate several points on Laravel. Maybe in next lessons that detail will be fix.

Solving it - just to pass through this issue.

To avoid this, you may one of this:

Change your _friends-list.blade.php on foreach with (ugly and temporary):

@foreach(isset(auth()->user()->follows) ? auth()->user()->follows : [] as $user)

Put foreach inside:

@auth()

foreach(...)
...
@endforeach

@endauth()

Create a new user (with tinker or directly on database)

Hope it hepls
