Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser::getPermissions(): Return value must be of type array, string returned

[jamieisps]

Your Environment

• PHP Version: 8.3
• Sentinel Version: ^6.0

Expected behaviour

Persmissions to be returned

Actual behaviour

Error is Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser::getPermissions(): Return value must be of type array, string returned

Changing /Users/jamiegill/Repositories/lifestyle-fitness/vendor/cartalyst/sentinel/src/Permissions/PermissibleTrait.php

public function getPermissions(): array
{
return $this->permissions ?? [];
}

To

public function getPermissions(): array
{
return $this->permissions !== null && $this->permissions !== '' ? $this->permissions : [];
}

Seems to resolve this, unsure why a string is returned after the upgrade but thought this may help others.

NOTE - I do not in no way recommend editing vendor packages unfortunately I was in a position I had to do this to get the build working correctly.
