php - Error: Login attribute is required using Sentry and Laravel -

since today, login controller (using sentry) doesn't work anymore. changed 10203902 times keeps giving me error: "a [login] attribute required". past 2-3 weeks controller worked fine.

logincontroller

 <?php namespace digitus\auth\controllers;  use illuminate\view\environment view; use cartalyst\sentry\sentry; use illuminate\support\facades\input; use illuminate\routing\redirector redirect;  class logincontroller extends \digitus\base\controllers\bcontroller{      public function __construct(input $input, view $view, sentry $sentry, redirect $redirect){         $this->input    = $input;         $this->view     = $view;         $this->sentry   = $sentry;         $this->user     = $this->sentry->getuser();         $this->redirect = $redirect;          if($this->sentry->check()) {             $user = $this->sentry->getuser();         } else {             $user = null;         }         $this->view->share('loggeduser', $user);     }      protected $input;     protected $view;     protected $sentry;     protected $redirect;      public function index()     {         return $this->view->make('user.login');     }      public function login()     {         $user = $this->user->where('username', $this->input->get('email_or_username'))->orwhere('email', $this->input->get('email_or_username'))->first();         $credentials = array(             'email' => input::get('email_or_username') ?: null,             'password' => $this->input->get('password'),         );         try {             $user = $this->sentry->authenticate($credentials, false);              if($this->sentry->check())             {                 return $this->redirect->to('admin');             } else {                 return $this->redirect->to('');             }         }         catch (\exception $e)         {             return $this->redirect->to('login')->witherrors(array('login'=> $e->getmessage()));         }     }  }

i've asked many people solutions or fixes etc. didn't work..

ps & fyi: published sentry config, , login_attribute email. or input great. in advance..

sentry uses

protected static $loginattribute = 'email'; 

to login data, check if have made changes it. lines giving hard time:

$loginname = $this->userprovider->getemptyuser()->getloginname();  $logincredentialkey = (isset($credentials[$loginname])) ? $loginname : 'login'; 

basically if $loginattribute not available use 'login' credential key. can test give wants:

$credentials = array(     'email' => input::get('email_or_username') ?: null,     'login' => input::get('email_or_username') ?: null,     'password' => $this->input->get('password'), ); 

unfortunately, cannot have 2 different fields login user, if need you'll have check manually, able like:

public function login() {     $user = $this->sentry->getuserprovider()->getemptyuser();      $user = $user->where('email', $this->input->get('email_or_username'))                         ->orwhere('username', $this->input->get('email_or_username'))                         ->first();      try      {         if ($user && hash::check($this->input->get('password'), $user->password)) /// here check if user found         {             $this->sentry->login($user, false); /// remember = false /// here login happening in case of true         }         else         {             // user not found or wrong password         }     }     catch (\exception $e)     {         return $this->redirect->to('login')->witherrors(array('login'=> $e->getmessage()));     } }
