Importing class Instagram fails

[DanDvoracek]

Hi there ! First of all thanks for your work.

I had a look at your different files that you mentioned in the issue #2 , but I can't get it to work. Here is, I think, a few reasons why.

Despite the fact I did follow the instructions on the github page line by line, the following isn't true for me:

use Instagram;

This simply doesn't not load any class as it isn't found. Then I tried to import the following class:

use Ramsey\Laravel\OAuth2\Instagram\Facades\Instagram;

But then, it (PhpStorm) tells me that methods like authorize() or getAuthorizationUrl() are simply not found.

Therefore I start to wonder how to access those methods really. I did follow the exact same installation steps you have on the git page of this project. I also tried to replicate what you mentioned as an example in #2 , no success. Has there been any update to this plugin?

Also, even though it has anything to do with my issues, I'm actually testing all of that locally, using an Instagram Sandbox app.. Is there anything to keep in mind by doing so?

Many thanks,

[ramsey]

Did you install this package using Composer?

[DanDvoracek]

I did yes. I'll try to repeat the process once more, but I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything.

Edit: So I have gone through the entire process again and the class still isn't found or isn't right regarding the methods.

I also tried to do the exact same thing as you did in the example you refer to in #2 and I end up with the following message (using class Ramsey\Laravel\OAuth2\Instagram\Facades\Instagram; the class Instagram would simply not be found):

{
code: 400,
error_type: "OAuthException",
error_message: "You must include a valid client_id, response_type, and redirect_uri parameters"
}

Which kind of make sense because the methods can't be accessed. So it doesn't pass the params..

[ramsey]

What you describe sounds like the installation steps haven't been completed.

You've updated the providers and aliases arrays in config/app.php, as described here? After that, you have to run php artisan vendor:publish?

I'm just double-checking. :-)

Beyond these things, I'm not sure what else could be causing your application not to find the Instagram alias or methods. It sounds like something is either not configured properly or the autoloader doesn't know about these files.

[DanDvoracek]

Yep, I did all of that. I even repeated the process from scratch more than once and even made a fresh Laravel install to see if it would be due to some clashing config in my project but nothing to do.. I always end up facing the same problem. My project uses Laravel 5.2... could that be an issue?

Edit: I also did $php artisan config:clear before publishing vendors...

[ramsey]

The example version of the app over here uses Laravel 5.2, so that shouldn't be an issue. The fact that it's having errors when attempting to find the Instagram alias still sounds like there might be a configuration issue. Do you mind posting the contents of your config/app.php file here (remove any tokens, usernames, passwords, etc. that might be in that file first, please)? :-)

Alright, I think I got it working now... I had to actually ssh the vagrant box, run 'php artisan config:clear' and then 'php artisan vendor:publish'. I'm not sure why I had to run it inside the box.. Not a master on that side but it seemed to have worked for now. I'll keep you posted if anything else happens, as I'm now ready to tackle this.

It's maybe worth to write a line about that in the doc if some other noobs like me come across the same issue ;)

Again thanks for the plugin and the help!

[ramsey]

Glad to hear you got it working. To answer your question about the "paths," these aren't paths but namespaces, so they don't directly relate to the filesystem path of the file. If you look at the namespace for the Instagram facade, you'll see it's:

Ramsey\Laravel\OAuth2\Instagram\Facades

See here. So, the "path" (or "namespace," rather) is correct as Ramsey\Laravel\OAuth2\Instagram\Facades\Instagram.

I hope that helps clarify a bit.

[DanDvoracek]

Makes sense ;) Thanks!
