Why are you using auth()? If you use Auth::user()->id , does it work?

It doesn't work with Auth::user() also (same error). What's wrong with auth()? I thought it was helper class.

In case someone stumbles upon this thread. I managed to cheat a bit. What I did is saved authenticated user id in session in LoginListener handle method:

// LoginListener.php
public function handle(Login $event) {
    session(['auth_user_id' => $event->user->id]);
}

And then in User model global scope used this value.

// User.php
protected static function boot() {
   parent::boot();
   if (session('auth_user_id')) {
      static::addGlobalScope('test', function(Builder $builder) {
         $builder->where('id', session('auth_user_id'));
      });
   }
}
