Laravel redirect after login

Question

Here is the documentation

When a user is successfully authenticated, they will be redirected to the /home URI. You can customize the post-authentication redirect location by defining a redirectTo property on the LoginController, RegisterController, and ResetPasswordController:

protected $redirectTo = '/';

If the redirect path needs custom generation logic you may define a redirectTo method instead of a redirectTo property:

protected function redirectTo() { // }

So I defined it

protected function redirectTo()
{
    if (\Auth::user()->isAdmin()) {
        return '/dashboard';
    } else {
        return '/home';
    }
}

But as you may guess, it does not work. It always redirects to /home.

Going through sources, I found this

namespace Illuminate\Foundation\Auth;

trait AuthenticatesUsers
{
    ...

    /**
     * Send the response after the user was authenticated.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    protected function sendLoginResponse(Request $request)
    {
        $request->session()->regenerate();

        $this->clearLoginAttempts($request);

        return $this->authenticated($request, $this->guard()->user())
                ?: redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());
    }
    ...
}

And this is implementation of $this->redirectPath()

namespace Illuminate\Foundation\Auth;

trait RedirectsUsers
{
    /**
     * Get the post register / login redirect path.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function redirectPath()
    {
        return property_exists($this, 'redirectTo') ? $this->redirectTo : '/home';
    }
}

I can't find where it checks for redirectTo method.

I am using Laravel 5.3.28, BTW.

Any suggestions?

EDIT

This was fixed in 5.3.29, whereas I was on 5.3.29. Still I can't help it but think there is something wrong with documents, or this laravel helper they created to create Laravel projects. I did use it to generate project, and it fetched not the latest version.

Override authenticated() function instead:

   protected function authenticated($request,$user)
    {
        if(\Auth::user()->isAdmin()){
            return redirect()->intended('dashboard'); 
        }

        return redirect()->intended('/home');   
    }
