Using Model::hasRole('***') in the booted method not working as expected

[strotgen]

Hi!

I am trying to use the hasRole in the booted method of a model but it is not working as expected. It is checking against all the roles in the database, not just against the roles of the current auth user.

protected static function booted()
{
     if (auth()->check() && auth()->user()->hasRole('manager')) {
         static::addGlobalScope(...);
     }
}

This is happening if I use other methods. For example, using auth()->user()->roles returns all roles from all users in the database. This is the generated query:

select
  "roles".*,
  "model_has_roles"."model_id" as "pivot_model_id",
  "model_has_roles"."role_id" as "pivot_role_id",
  "model_has_roles"."model_type" as "pivot_model_type"
from
  "roles"
  inner join "model_has_roles" on "roles"."id" = "model_has_roles"."role_id"

For some reason, it is failing to add the where clause:

where
  "model_has_roles"."model_id" = 2
  and "model_has_roles"."model_type" = 'App\Models\User'

auth()->user() is working fine. I even tried doing something like User::first()->roles inside the booted method but does not work either.

Does anybody knows what is happening or how to fix this? I am guessing this has something to do with the way laravel executes, but not sure.

package version ? laravel version?
could you create a minimal Laravel app that demonstrates the issue? Or maybe create a failing tests for us to look at?

I suspect the same

Hi @erikn69, thanks for your answer.

I have doing some debugging and research and it seems that Laravel relationships are not available during the booted method, so that's why the hasRole('manager') fails to append the where clause. I am not 100 percent sure this is what is happening, but seems to be the case. For now, my solution was to do the query myself, not using the Laravel relations.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that
