Laravel messenger - Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\Guard::login() must implement interface Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, null given

Question

I am building a social networking site, and need a messaging system so I am using this , as it looks pretty good.

I have set up Laravel and I am about half way through my project. I have added in laravel-messenger but as soon as I run it I get the following error:

Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\\Auth\\Guard::login() must implement interface Illuminate\\Contracts\\Auth\\Authenticatable, null given.

I have Googled and researched but I haven't found a clear solution, I need help!

Your User model should be like this (should implement these and use proper traits)

use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\Authorizable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Access\Authorizable as AuthorizableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;

class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract,
                                AuthorizableContract,
                                CanResetPasswordContract
{
    use Authenticatable, Authorizable, CanResetPassword;
    //enter code here
}
