make:server error "The given data failed to pass validation."

[j-greig]

Trying to spin up a Linode and get:

In MakesHttpRequests.php line 90: The given data failed to pass validation.

With these settings: forge make:server --provider=linode --credentials=12345 --region=london --ip=127.0.0.1 --private-ip=192.168.1.1 --php=php71 --database=mysql

Hiya James!

The --ip and --private-ip options are only required when using --provider=custom. Can you try without those two and see if this helps?

(also, I assume you've already added Linode credentials and are using the right ID in the command there? 🙂)

[j-greig]

Thanks! I just tried it like this but get the same error?

`forge make:server --provider=linode --credentials=12345 --region=london --php=php71 --database=mysql```

Looks like you need to use --region=7 when creating a server on Linode:

Also; can you run forge credentials? Are you using the ID of the one where the "type" is Linode?

This package should really do a better job validating the request that's being made; I'll put that on my todo list 😄 For now though, you can see most of the valid options in Laravel Forge's API documentation here.

My bad, I didn't think to look at the Forge API details. Will test on Monday and let you know, think this will work now though 🌮

[svenluijten]

No worries, I wouldn't expect users of this package to go looking at some first-party API documentation honestly 👍

Did you get it working? If not, I'll do some further digging to get this figured out 😄

[j-greig]

Ok time for an update! It's still not working I'm afraid, same error from this:

forge make:server --provider=linode --credentials=XXXXX --region=7 --php=php71 --database=mysql

where XXXXX matches an ID from forge credentials with type linode

@j-greig I know this is an old issue, but the problem I had was that the size and name parameters were not set up correctly.

I've submitted a PR which addresses this: #44

[svenluijten]

Closing because I am abandoning this package in favor of laravel/forge-cli.
