Description

The two events throw a BadMethodCallException: Call to undefined method App\Models\User::forceDeleting() and BadMethodCallException: Call to undefined method App\Models\User::restoring() exception when attempting to boot the model

Steps To Reproduce

Create a class with closure listeners for the above events

class User extends Model
{
    /**
     * The "booted" method of the model.
     */
    protected static function booted(): void
    {
        static::restoring(function (User $user) {
            // do something
        });
    }
    
    ...
}

Then try to initialise the model

PS C:\projects\example-app> php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.12.0 (PHP 8.1.4 — cli) by Justin Hileman
> $user = new User();
[!] Aliasing 'User' to 'App\Models\User' for this Tinker session.

   BadMethodCallException  Call to undefined method App\Models\User::restoring().

Hi @ekmungai,
You can only listen to these events if your model is actually soft-deletable. You need to add the SoftDeletes trait:

class User extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;
 
    // ...
}
