Call to a member function setCookie() on null on laravel middleware

Question

I made a custom route middleware to check if my user has enough privileges to see a page, when user doesn't have enough privileges I get the following error message:

 Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR)
Call to a member function setCookie() on null

This is my controller:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;


use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Auth;



class AuthAdmin
{


    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();

        if($user && $user['privileges'] > 2){
            return $next($request);   
        }

        return view('auth.login');

    }
}

Any idea what's wrong with my code?

Don't return a view from middleware, return a redirect response: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50408698/laravel-return-view-on-middleware — newUserName02, Mar 19 '19 at 19:54
