TypeError when trying to create user account

[davidlontmx]

I am receiving the following error when trying to create user account. This is on a new install, without any config modifications:

CodeIgniter\Shield\Controllers\RegisterController::getUserProvider(): Return value must be of type CodeIgniter\Shield\Models\UserModel, App\Models\UserModel returned

Could anyone point me to a solution?

Does App\Models\UserModel extend CodeIgniter\Shield\Models\UserModel?

Thank you so very much. That was the problem.

I had written:

class UserModel extends Model

But should have written

class UserModel extends \CodeIgniter\Shield\Models\UserModel

Thanks @kenjis !

Actually, I just realized something greater was wrong. I had created my own UserModel (for my own purposes), not realizing that there was already a UserModel as part of the Shield package.
