Laravel Nova Login Form Submission Error; how to debug?
I am running into an error with Laravel Nova that I'm not sure how to diagnose. When I try to log in I get "There was a problem submitting the form."
The console does not show any errors. Where should I look to figure out what is going on here?
I'm using Laravel Passport with Lighthouse in case either of those could be the culprit?
Thank you for any help!
Edit: Thank you, Matias, for the direction! It turns out the error is that "Method Illuminate\Auth\RequestGuard::attempt does not exist."
The response sent:

In case it is helpful, also the first couple lines from the logs:

Given some other posts I'm rather sure this has to do with the auth settings. They are currently:
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'api',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'api' => [
'driver' => 'passport',
'provider' => 'users',
],
],
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],
],
Even when I change the default guard back to web I get the same error.
Solution
Figured it out! It turns out that if you are using Laravel as an API (if your default guard in the auth config is not web) then you need to change the default guard in passport's config. So, in config/nova.php,
'guard' => env('NOVA_GUARD', null), should be changed to 'guard' => 'web',
After that it should work just fine.
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
you may want to make a new guard and reference that in nova.php if your web guard is not default.)
