throwing 404 error in case of 403 error.

[magic-thomas]

In bootstrap/app.php , I have tried to use the following code to catch the 403 error and throw into 404 error, but it doesn't work.

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        $exceptions->renderable(function (AccessDeniedHttpException $e, $request) {
            if (str_starts_with($request->path(), 'admin*')) {
                throw new NotFoundHttpException('', $e);
            }
        });
    })->create();

the 403 error is not hooked by AccessDeniedHttpException.

the blade page just shows 403 Error.

Laravel 11 is used.

Somebody can help me?

You may use the Illuminate\Auth\Access\Response class instead? here is the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/authorization#customizing-gate-response-status

Thanks for reply.

But I think I need how to catch 403 Error for now.

Have you tried cathcing Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException instead?

Sorry,I don't know how and where to put your idea into code.

I tried this.

// bootstrap/app.php

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        Log::info(get_class($exceptions));
        foreach($exceptions as $exception) {
            Log::info(get_class($exception));
        }
    })->create();

I found that it is not enough to catch 403 error from log.

->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
    $exceptions->render(fn (\Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException $e, Request $request) =>
        \Illuminate\Auth\Access\Response::deny('Not Found.')->withStatus(404)
    );
})
