Example Code: cvc-type.2: The type definition cannot be abstract for element ns1:creatives

[illusive-ch]

I have the following code

       $creativeService = $this->serviceFactory->createCreativeService($this->session);

        $imageCreative = new ImageCreative();
        $imageCreative->setName('Image creative #'.uniqid());
        $imageCreative->setAdvertiserId($creative->campaign->team->provider_id);
        $imageCreative->setDestinationUrl('http://google.com');

        // Set the size of the image creative.
        $size = new Size();
        $size->setWidth(600);
        $size->setHeight(315);
        $size->setIsAspectRatio(false);
        $imageCreative->setSize($size);

        // Set the creative's asset.
        $creativeAsset = new CreativeAsset();
        $creativeAsset->setFileName(300);
        $creativeAsset->setAssetByteArray(
            base64_encode(file_get_contents('https://placehold.co/300x250/jpg'))
        );
        $imageCreative->setPrimaryImageAsset($creativeAsset);

        // Create the image creatives on the server.
        $results = $creativeService->createCreatives([$imageCreative]);

        // Print out some information for each created image creative.
        foreach ($results as $i => $imageCreative) {
            printf(
                "%d) Image creative with ID %d and name '%s' was created.%s",
                $i,
                $imageCreative->getId(),
                $imageCreative->getName(),
                PHP_EOL
            );
        }

This pretty much mirrors the example code other then the image being different since the image int he example is 404 https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/main/examples/AdManager/v202211/CreativeService/CreateCreatives.php

From what I can see this is the soap call :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body>
        <soap:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
            <faultstring>Unmarshalling Error: cvc-type.2: The type definition cannot be abstract for element

I have also tried with and without base64 the image on file_get_contents()

Hi @illusive-ch - You should not need to use base64 (file_get_contents should return the content as a byte array as expected). If you remove the base64 call, are you getting the exact same error? Could you provide us with the complete logs?
