Bug: TypeError checking permissions

[virdb]

PHP Version

7.4.32 | 8.1.12

CodeIgniter4 Version

4.2.8

Shield Version

v1.0.0-beta.3

Which operating systems have you tested for this bug?

Linux

Which server did you use?

cli-server (PHP built-in webserver)

Database

MariaDB 10.9.3

Did you customize Shield?

Just disabled registration and configured groups, permissions and matrix

What happened?

when I check for user permissions, got a Type error.

My code in controller:

$user = auth()->user();
if ( $user->can('developer') || $user->can('admin.user'))
 {
   // ...
 }

Error:

TypeError
substr() expects parameter 3 to be int, bool given 
VENDORPATH/codeigniter4/shield/src/Authorization/Traits/Authorizable.php at line 259

...
259             $check = substr($permission, 0, strpos($permission, '.')) . '.*';
...

Steps to Reproduce

• composer require codeigniter4/shield:v1.0.0-beta.3
• setup groups, permissions and matrix in AuthGroups.php
• add a user with appropriate permissions
• check if user has permission
• got the error

Expected Output

expected the can() method works

Anything else?

No response

@virdb It is cli-server (PHP built-in webserver). I've updated.

A permission is simply a string consisting of a scope and action, like users.create.

Can you show us your $permissions?

[virdb]

Of course,

My groups:

public array $groups = [
        'admin' => [
            'title'       => 'Administrators',
            'description' => 'Site administrators',
        ],
        'developer' => [
            'title'       => 'Developers',
            'description' => 'Site developers',
        ],
        'user' => [
            'title'       => 'Users',
            'description' => 'Site users',
        ],
    ];

My permissions:

public array $permissions = [
        'admin.users'       => 'Can manage users',
        'admin.groups'      => 'Can manage groups',
        'admin.actions'     => 'Can manage actions',
        'developer'         => 'Access to all functions' 
    ];

My matrix:

public array $matrix = [
        'admin' => [
            'admin.*',
        ],
        'developer' => [
            'admin.*',
            'developer',
        ],
        'user' => [],
    ];

'developer' is not a scope and action style like users.create.

Just tested and confirm. Thanks a lot

This is misuse, but the error message is not good.
I sent a PR.
