Argument 3 passed to GuzzleHttp\Client::request() must be of the type array, string given

Question

I'm experimenting with SammyK/LaravelFacebookSdk. Trying to run this line from example: $response = Facebook::get('/me?fields=id,name,email', 'user-access-token');

which in turn runs /var/www/vendor/facebook/php-sdk-v4/src/Facebook/HttpClients/FacebookGuzzleHttpClient.php line 61

public function send($url, $method, $body, array $headers, $timeOut)
{
    $options = [
        'headers' => $headers,
        'body' => $body,
        'timeout' => $timeOut,
        'connect_timeout' => 10,
        'verify' => __DIR__ . '/certs/DigiCertHighAssuranceEVRootCA.pem',
    ];
    $request = $this->guzzleClient->createRequest($method, $url, $options);

    try {
        $rawResponse = $this->guzzleClient->send($request);
    } catch (RequestException $e) {
        $rawResponse = $e->getResponse();

        if ($e->getPrevious() instanceof RingException || !$rawResponse instanceof ResponseInterface) {
            throw new FacebookSDKException($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode());
        }
    }

    $rawHeaders = $this->getHeadersAsString($rawResponse);
    $rawBody = $rawResponse->getBody();
    $httpStatusCode = $rawResponse->getStatusCode();

    return new GraphRawResponse($rawHeaders, $rawBody, $httpStatusCode);
}

That calls /var/www/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Client.php line 87

public function __call($method, $args)
{
    if (count($args) < 1) {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException('Magic request methods require a URI and optional options array');
    }

    $uri = $args[0];
    $opts = isset($args[1]) ? $args[1] : [];

    return substr($method, -5) === 'Async'
        ? $this->requestAsync(substr($method, 0, -5), $uri, $opts)
        : $this->request($method, $uri, $opts);
}

This methond interprets input as array('method' => 'createRequest', 'uri' => 'GET'))

Changing index seems to correct the error (though other problems araise)

 $uri = $args[1];
 $opts = isset($args[2]) ? $args[2] : [];

But since it's a very bad practice to edit other packages, how should I correct this error?

Answer 1

I've get the same problem. Changing indexes won't work for me, but I've found a workaround. Installing php-curl extension switches a whole workflow thru cURL, so the problem is vanished.

Answer 2

Due to Facebook SDK 5.x use guzzle version 5. So downgrade the guzzle library will workaround

$ composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~5.0
