I found a little idea to get rid of the error.

I added a new function in the User model:

So i can use (new User)->mySelf()->can(); on Controllers and that's to cover the mistakes that exist.

Auth::user() already return the currently logged in user model when you again search user by that user??

User::find executes a sql

on my text editor

Try

/** @var \App\Models\User $user */
$user = Auth::user();
$user->can('dfdf')

this still gives the same warning.

[erikn69]

/** @var \App\Models\User $user */

weird, that comment must have told your IDE the class returned by the method

Encountered the same problem with Laravel 10 and Laravel-spatie v5. This solution is better than the accepted answer because it does not execute a query
