ErrorException in SessionGuard.php | Getting error when trying to register user while creating new order - laravel

Question

I want user to register and also buy a package. To do that I took input for registration details and package details. Now when I'm processing order to save package details in session and register, I get this error : Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard::login() must be an instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, instance of Illuminate\View\View given, called in C:\xampp\htdocs\rename\app\Traits\OrderRegister.php on line 63 and defined. I'm using an trait to register user and return back to function when registration is complete.

I could not find any solution for this error so created my own thread for the first time please someone help.

Answer 1

It throws an error because you are trying to login a vue.
in your OrderController.php you are using create method which return a view.
this method will override the create method on your trait.
So you have something like this :
Auth::guard($this->getGuard())->login(/* A view */);
you can at least rename the method on the trait from create to createUser for example.
then you call it from the guard like this :
Auth::guard($this->getGuard())->login($this->createUser($request->all()));
