Unable to access Auth::id() in asyncWidget

[imran-drewl]

HI @arrilot,

Thanks for this awesome widgets.

I'm facing an issue that when I use normal @widget I can can access authenticated user id in widget blade view using either auth()->user()->id or Auth::id() but not when use auto-reload or @asyncWidget.

I'm using laravel 8.*

I didn't published config file.

I have already seen this threat #102

and published config file in project there was already web middleware added in it.

I'm fetching data for widget from an API.

Thanks

Same/similar error happens with sync widgets too when public $reloadTimeout = 60; is being used ...

$user = Auth::user();
$name = $user->name_private;

Works just fine during initial run of the widget, but when the auto reload occurs "Trying to get property of non-object" exception is being returned for $user->name 'cause the Auth facade call fails or somehow returns null.

I can't repoduce this.

1. I've installed a fresh laravel 8 app using laravel new
2. I've Added Laravel Breeze there
3. Registred a user and logged in
4. composer require arrilot/laravel-widgets
5. php artisan make:widget Test
6. user()->id ?> in the widget's view
7. Placed widget at dashboard
8. Both @widget and @asyncWIdget both give me correct id. If I add $reloadTimeout = 2 they both still work as intented.

My guess: you did somthing with middleware in your apps.
If you can make a similar reproduction and post it to github I can give it another try

Yes, it was related with the middleware ... Sorry not reporting that earlier, web must be defined/allowed in the middleware for laravel-widgets.

The main app's developer figured it out and with an update to the core app my addon widgets started working as expected.
