Debugging

In the "Build a Like/Dislike system" episode 67 of the series, in 22:23 timestamp, we start including the "like" and "dislike" buttons and im getting a Call to a member function where() on null this happens after I implement this on the _tweet.blade.php blade file

<div class="flex items-center {{ $tweet->isDislikedBy( current_user() ) ? 'text-blue-500' : 'text-gray-500' }}">

The error is actually being returned in line 4:

1.    public function isDislikedBy(User $user)
2.    {
3.        return (bool) $user->likes
4.            ->where('tweet_id', $this->id) 
5.            ->where('liked', false)
6.            ->count();
7.    }

How can I start knowing what's going on in or out from the isDislikedBy() ? What im thinking is that I should be back-engineering the source of that where function because what's inside of it, it's returning null. I noticed jeffrey doesn't ever references a Model, like for example, this: use App\Like and that happens in most of the files, where as I have had to do that in some Models. I know he's on Laravel 6 and Im wondering if in Laravel 8, the reason why it's returning null is because an endpoint somewhere isn't being referenced. Thanks! Awesome project.

I checked the repo, turns out I somehow forgot to keep likes() in User
