Failing to use GroupFilter, generated exception

[IvanNavarroSommerz]

• I defined this route in APP/Config/routes.php:

$routes->get('/admin/(:segment)', 'AdminCtl::index/$1', ['filter' => 'hasAccess:superadmin,admin']);

• and defined an alias at APP/Config/filters.php

 _public array $aliases = [
  ...
  'hasAccess'   => [
                             GroupFilter::class,
         ],
 ]_

• Using session authenticator.

• At line 688 in Session.php, function getSessionUserInfo() breaks, generating an exception:

_Call to undefined function CodeIgniter\Shield\Authentication\Authenticators\setting() _

I tried a few things but with no success, i believe I'm missing something.
This same call at getSessionUserInfo() succeeds in every other context, except when called via the filter path.

I installed both shield and settings libraries manually, not via composer and I'm not sure if it makes any difference.
In APP/Config/Autoload.php, I have:

_public $psr4 = [
        ...
        'CodeIgniter\\Settings' => APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/settings/src',
        'CodeIgniter\\Shield' => APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/shield/src', 

    ];_

Any comments mostly appreciated!
Cheers

Before anything, you should know that all shield filters are loaded by default. Therefore, there is no need to add filters to file APP/Config/filters.php.

$routes->get('/admin/(:segment)', 'AdminCtl::index/$1', ['filter' => 'session:superadmin,admin']);

• At line 688 in Session.php, function getSessionUserInfo() breaks, generating an exception:

_Call to undefined function CodeIgniter\Shield\Authentication\Authenticators\setting() _

Please follow the instructions in the document below to upgrade properly.

@kenjis I highlighted this in the review, and you moved the note up. But in the last few days, I noticed that many users are reloading the filters by mistake. What should be changed so that the documentation is clear on this matter?

In my case, I'm fairly new to this, since there's no mentioning on applying the filter in the route itself, i resorted to codeigniter's docs on applying filters to routes and went through that path forgetting about the note at shield's doc mentioning that filters are loaded by default. Maybe a little example will help.

I added a few explanations. See #931
