Blade directive @can('users.index') doesn't works

[miguel-cortez-weedmaps]

Hello I have a question with blade directive @can('permission')

I have a user that has a role admin, this roles has permissions like 'users.index', so when I trying to use
@can('users.index')
< li>< a class="active" href="/admin/users">Users< /a>< /li>
@endcan
The link is not showing, but when I use @ role('admin'), so by role it works.

I'm using Laravel 8 and I cleared cache with
php artisan config:clear
php artisan permission:cache-reset.

I hope you can help me please.

The @can() directive is driven by Laravel's internals, not by this package. That is, when @can parses things, that's Laravel parsing it, not this package. (This package just registers the names of the current user's permissions so that @can is aware of them.)
IIRC laravel's internals treat the . with special handling, so that might be confusing things.
You could try using auth()->user()->hasPermissionTo().

I know @can() is of Laravel but it doesn't recognizes permission name

I'm trying auth()->user()->hasPermissionTo()
I got this:

Spatie\Permission\Exceptions\PermissionDoesNotExist
There is no permission named users.index for guard web

In my database i have
2 users.index 2021-05-13 17:10:02 2021-05-13 17:10:13

If you're using a different guard than web, you can pass the guard name to hasPermissionTo
