php - Laravel: Auth guard [sanctum] is not defined

Question

I'm trying to implement auth in Laravel via Sanctum. I did all steps from documentation. Generation of Token works fine but when I try to use auth:sanctum middleware it returns the error Auth guard [sanctum] is not defined.

Here are my files:
/routes/api.php

<?php

use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
use AppHttpControllersDashboard;


Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->get('/dashboard/get_current_client/', [Dashboard::class, 'get_current_client']);

Route::get('/dashboard/client_data/', [Dashboard::class, 'client_data']);

/config/auth.php

<?php

return [

    'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'web',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],

    
    'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'token',
            'provider' => 'users',
            'hash' => false,
        ],
    ],

    'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => AppModelsClient::class,
        ],

        // 'users' => [
        //     'driver' => 'database',
        //     'table' => 'users',
        // ],
    ],


    'passwords' => [
        'users' => [
            'provider' => 'users',
            'table' => 'password_resets',
            'expire' => 60,
            'throttle' => 60,
        ],
    ],

    'password_timeout' => 10800,

];

/app/Models/Client.php

<?php

namespace AppModels;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
use LaravelSanctumHasApiTokens;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthUser as Authenticatable;
use IlluminateNotificationsNotifiable;



class Client extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, HasApiTokens, Notifiable;

    protected $table = 'client';
    protected $primaryKey = 'client_id';
    public $timestamps = false;
}

/app/Http/Controllers/Dashboard.php

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppModelsClient;



class Dashboard extends Controller
{
    public function client_data () {
        $user = Client::where('client_id', 1)->first();
        return $user->client_id;
    }

    public function get_current_client(Request $request) {
        var_dump($request->user());
    }
}

Answer 1

I found the problem. For some reason cache in /bootstrap/cache has not updated. After manual removing it, everything started working.
