[Bug]: Policies not found using Gate::authorize()

PHP Binary

Operating System

What happened?

All references to my policies using Gate::authorize() give a 'not found' error message. The error message seems to indicate that the extension is looking for a policy with a name matching the method I'm trying to call on it.

E.g. this code in a controller:

Gate::authorize('update', $program);

Results in a lint (squiggly underline, no link/reference) with the message "Policy [update] not found."

My setup is completely vanilla in regards to auth/policies/controllers—Program is a regular model, ProgramPolicy exists in the default location and has an update method, etc.

I can reproduce this in a new Laravel 11 app too after running php artisan make:policy UserPolicy --model=User and php artisan make:controller UserController --model=User and adding Gate::authorize('create', User::class);.

Mimimal Code Sample

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        Gate::authorize('create', User::class);
    }
}

This should be fixed in the latest release (v0.1.20). If you are still experiencing this issue feel free to re-open.
