Unable to reproduce the issue, please provide full reproducing repository based on fresh installation as suggested in the bug report template (or you can refer to https://github.com/nova-issues for example)

@beshoo Your screenshot explicitly shown multiple middleware that doesn't exist in a vanilla Laravel Nova installation. Instead of just a thumb down did you even test it in a basic Laravel Nova installation and see if the problem exists?

[beshoo]

Thank you for your reply, I am very sorry I did not mean to give a thumbs down! but thump up LOL.
And yes on a fresh installation I have the same error but on different file

[beshoo]

I sent an email to Nova [email protected] with the zip file of the complete fresh project for further review, since the Nova script is not open-source.

[crynobone]

I did not get any issues from the files your provided, just

composer install
php artisan migrate
composer run serve

and everything is shown correctly

[crynobone]

The class expect class string instance of Laravel\Nova\Dashboard and you provides MenuSection::dashboard(\App\Nova\User::class)->icon('chart-bar')

[beshoo]

I dont follow since am following the documentation

Please provide the correct useg!

[beshoo]

@crynobone

And following the documentation leads to the previous error.
I am unsure how to pass it as a string since there is no documentation about it.
