Laravel 6.5.2 error when registering on overwritten users table

Question

I have overwritten the default user table with an existing table. When trying to register a new user i get the following error:

Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard::login() must be an instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, instance of App\customUser given, called in {path}\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers.php on line 35

To overwrite the default users table with my own I have made the following changes:

///Auth.php///

//Auth defaults:
'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'web',
        'passwords' => 'customusers',
    ],

//Auth guards:
'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'customusers',
        ],

//User providers:
'providers' => [
        'customusers' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\customUser::class,
        ],

I don't know if these changes could cause the error I'm facing.

The error is supposedly fired in this part of 'RegisterUsers.php'

$this->guard()->login($user);

This is part of the function 'register', which looks like this:

public function register(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validator($request->all())->validate();

        event(new Registered($user = $this->create($request->all())));

        $this->guard()->login($user);

        return $this->registered($request, $user)
                        ?: redirect($this->redirectPath());
    }

Any help regarding this error would be kindly appreciated, I'm fairly new to Laravel so I would like to recieve a clear explanation to my problem so I can understand why it is calling this error.

Kind regards, geertjanknapen

Your model needs to extend Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User, otherwise you cannot use it with the authentication methods like login / logout etc.

In your customUser model add the following:

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class customUser extends Authenticatable

I would also recommend to rename your class customUser to CustomUser in order to follow PSR-1:

Class names MUST be declared in StudlyCaps.

The term ‘StudlyCaps’ in PSR-1 MUST be interpreted as PascalCase where the first letter of each word is capitalized including the very first letter.

On RegisterUsers.php you need to include

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;

and below class RegisterUsers extends Controller

you need to add

use AuthenticatesUsers;

I think this is wrong. Is it that CustomUser needs to extend Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User?

maybe that's the one! One or the other anyway
