    }
}

How can I fix this bug? pleas help me!!!

Answer 1

this is because of using same validator for crate and update user . and user own email in update process make trouble for you . solotion: 1- crate new validator class for edit user << UserEditRequest >> 2- use this code for validate email

            'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email,'.auth()->user()->id,]
