无法在 Laravel 上捕获“Symfony\\Component\\HttpKernel\\Exception\\NotFoundHttpException”

Question

I am using route model binding for this route:

api.php

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api']], function () {
    Route::apiResource('applications', 'ApplicationController')->except(['index']);
});

and on the model:

Application

/**
 * Get the route key for the model.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public function getRouteKeyName(): string
{
    return 'client_id';
}

Here is part of my route-list:

| GET | HEAD | api/v1/applications/{application} | vms-direct-debit.applications.show  | App\Http\Controllers\ApplicationController@show  | api,auth:api |

In which, client_id is a string and suppose that testclient DOES NOT EXIST in applications table. Well, when I call this route on postman or insomnia : base_url/applications/testclient ( GET , show), it throws a Symfony\\Component\\HttpKernel\\Exception\\NotFoundHttpException Exception AS I WANT .

Okay, I want to catch this exception, so I use this code on app/Exceptions/Handler.php :

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException) {
        return response()->json([
             'my-goddamn-custom' => 'message-here',
        ]);
    }
    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

But I can not catch my custom response message. How can I catch my custom message response?

I solved it myself.

I used Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\ModelNotFoundException instead of Symfony\\Component\\HttpKernel\\Exception\\NotFoundHttpException exception.

app/Exceptions/Handler.php :

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;

    /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param  Request $request
     * @param Exception $exception
     *
     * @return Response|\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    public function render($request, Exception $exception)
    {
        if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
            return response()->json([
             'my-goddamn-custom' => 'message-here',
        ]);
        }

        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
