spatie / laravel-permission can return always true

Question

when using laravel spatie permissions every thing is ok when creating permissions , roles , assign roles to users. but when using $this->authorize('View Country') OR $user->can('View Country') always return true. i am using laravel v9.0 and spatie/permissions v5.5 and tried some solutions like :

• upgrade spatie/permissions to v6.0
• running php artisan optimize

but noting happen

assign role to user:

$user = Admin::findOrFail(request('user_id'));
        $role = Role::findOrFail(request('role_id'));
        $user->syncRoles([$role->name]);
        return redirect()->route('admin.admins.index')->with('success', __(" Successfully"));

---

create role permissions and sync

$role = Role::find(request('role_id', 1));
        foreach ($request->permissions as $permisssion) {
            $permisssions[] = Permission::firstOrCreate([
                'name' => $permisssion,
                'guard_name' => 'admin'
            ]);
        }
        $role->syncPermissions($permisssions ?? []);

I advise you to:

• check defined permissions with php artisan permission:show

• check users permisions using php artisan tinkerand entering a commanad like: User::where('id', '<', 11)->get()->map(fn ($user) => [[$user->id, $user->name], $user->getAllPermissions()->pluck ('name')->toArray()]) (customize the where condition as your needings)

• check if you have defined a Custom Permission, finding in your code 'Gate::before' (tipically is set in boot method of app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php) - look here and here for reference
