I have a very weird issue with exactly one of my models – the update method is always null.

Any update is not working with the error "Call to undefined method App\Models\Menu::udpate()"

When I execute

$menu = $team->menus()->create([
  'name' => $name
]);

dd($menu->update);

I get null

When I execute dd($menu) I get

AppModelsMenu {#1289
  #connection: "mysql"
  #table: "menus"
  #primaryKey: "id"
  #keyType: "int"
  +incrementing: true

  +preventsLazyLoading: false
  #perPage: 15
  +exists: true

    "updated_at" => "2024-12-09 10:03:00"
  ]

  #fillable: array:2 [

  ]
  #guarded: array:1 [
    0 => "*"
  ]
}

Which looks fine.

My model looks like

<?php

namespace AppModels;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentRelationsBelongsTo;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentRelationsBelongsToMany;

class Menu extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = ['name', 'template_position'];

    public function team(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Team::class);
    }

    public function pages(): BelongsToMany
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(Page::class, 'menu_page', 'menu_id', 'page_id');
    }
}
