Error: Catchable fatal error: Method Happyr\LinkedIn\AccessToken::__toString() must return a string value in .... vendor/happyr/linkedin-api-client/src/LinkedIn.php on line 111 #148
Description
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| Bug? | not sure |
| New Feature? | no |
| Are you using composer? | yes |
| Version | ??? The most current I'm assuming. I installed via composer Jan 9, 2018. |
Actual Behavior
Getting the following error when I load a test page that I created:
Catchable fatal error: Method Happyr\LinkedIn\AccessToken::__toString() must return a string value in ....../vendor/happyr/linkedin-api-client/src/LinkedIn.php on line 111
Expected Behavior
What is the behavior you expect?
I had copied the code below that is provided in the "Usage" section of this project, so I expected to just say "hello (first name)" - since I had already logged in
$linkedIn=new Happyr\LinkedIn\LinkedIn('client_id', 'client_secret');
if ($linkedIn->isAuthenticated()) {
//we know that the user is authenticated now. Start query the API
$user=$linkedIn->get('v1/people/~:(firstName,lastName)');
echo "Welcome ".$user['firstName'];
exit();
} elseif ($linkedIn->hasError()) {
echo "User canceled the login.";
exit();
}
//if not authenticated
$url = $linkedIn->getLoginUrl();
echo "Login with LinkedIn";
Steps to Reproduce
I was able to make the login feature from the code above work once. But then I got the above error message. I then re-installed this api client in a new directory, went through the install steps, but am getting the error message still.
It was working, then I added the code from here, and that was when it stopped working: https://github.com/Happyr/LinkedIn-API-client/blob/master/tests/AccessTokenTest.php
That was when I tried a fresh install in a new directory, and of course did not include the code from "AccessTokenTest.php", but the same error message persists even in a new directory.
