Laravel - Spatie permissions saying permission doesn't exist

Question

I've got a FormRequest class set up that is doing

public function authorize()
{
    return Auth::user()->hasPermissionTo('can update users');
}

however it is throwing an exception

However in my database the permission definately exists

Is there some form of naming convention I need to be using or something I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

i think this is because of space try to replace space with - in permision names — FULL STACK DEV, Apr 23 '18 at 12:59
@AdnanMumtaz No, the readme of the package itself uses spaces in permission names. — Douwe de Haan, Apr 23 '18 at 13:01

Try clearing Laravel's cache, this can happen if permissions are added without being picked up by the cache.

damn cache! I've now added a command to purge the permission cache – owenmelbz Apr 23 '18 at 14:14

As per @Tudor's suggestion try running php artisan cache:clear in your terminal to clear laravel cache
