While using permission middleware it throws error

[yasirmehmood123]

I was trying to use the permissions for a role and everything was added as per documentation like adding middleware in kernel.php
let me give an example how I am using it
Route::group(['middleware' => ['can:view customers']], function () {

Let me show the error as well
Call to a member function contains() on array

File directory where I found it
"\vendor\spatie\laravel-permission\src\Traits\HasPermissions.php:288"
I fixed it by replacing line number 288 of HasPermission trait let me show an example of this as well
return $this->permissions->contains($permission->getKeyName(), $permission->getKey());
to
return collect($this->permissions)->contains($permission->getKeyName(), $permission->getKey());

please if i am wrong correct me but if this is a real issue than please update it in the coming updates

$this->permissions is a relation BelongsToMany , so, somewhere on your implementation you are changing that collection to array, and that makes the error
Read this must-not-have-a-permission-or-permissions-property-nor-a-permissions-method

laravel-permission/src/Traits/HasPermissions.php

Lines 45 to 53 in 08cc9bd

	public function permissions(): BelongsToMany
	{
	return $this->morphToMany(
	config('permission.models.permission'),
	'model',
	config('permission.table_names.model_has_permissions'),
	config('permission.column_names.model_morph_key'),
	PermissionRegistrar::$pivotPermission
	)

Also can is tested GateTest
