Title

DELETE /api/v1/settings/sources/{id} – Internal Server Error when deleting non-existing ID

---

Description

When attempting to delete a resource using a non-existing or invalid ID, the API throws a 500 Internal Server Error. The response includes the message:

"message": "__clone method called on non-object"

This indicates that the system is attempting to clone a null or undefined object, likely due to the missing record.

Steps to Reproduce

Send a DELETE request to /api/v1/settings/sources/{non-existing-id}.

{
  "message": "__clone method called on non-object",
  "exception": "Error",
  "file": "/vendor/prettus/l5-repository/src/Prettus/Repository/Eloquent/BaseRepository.php",
  "line": 759,
  ...
}

Expected Result

API should return:

{
  "message": "Source not found"
}

with HTTP status code 404 Not Found.

Actual Result

HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error

Message: "__clone method called on non-object"

Stack trace points to Prettus BaseRepository.
