Laravel Socialite - google login failed "Missing required parameter: client_id" although specified

Question

I have this strange issue with using Laravel Socialite to log users in via Google API.

Everything configurations seem normal and ordinary, but I keep getting error Missing required parameter: client_id. Not only that, sometimes I tried again and the error became Missing required parameter: redirect_uri despite all these parameters have been supplied.

This is how it is set up:

service.php

'google' => [
        'client_id' => 'xxxxxxxxxx-x98asxxxx913ofk5tqvgq7lqfpgdi5u2.apps.googleusercontent.com',
        'client_secret' => 'mklOWJFhpbCzTKxxxx-xxxx',
        'redirect' => 'http://myapp.com/auth/google/callback'
    ],

routes.php

Route::get('/auth/{social_channel}', 'Auth\AuthController@redirect_to_provider');

Route::get('/auth/{social_channel}/callback', 'Auth\AuthController@handle_provider_callback');

AuthController.php

/**
     * Redirect the user to the Google authentication page.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function redirect_to_provider($social_channel)
    {
        return Socialite::driver($social_channel)->redirect();
    }

    /**
     * Obtain the user information from GitHub.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function handle_provider_callback($social_channel, SocialAccountService $service)
    {
        $user = $service->create_or_get_user($social_channel, Socialite::driver($social_channel)->user());

        Auth::login($user);

        return redirect()->to('/go');

    }

Facebook Login works for me, just this Google Login issue is a stubborn and bizarre problem.

The app is deployed on Forge (Ubuntu, Nginx).

Can anybody spot anything wrong with this at all?

Answer 1

With env() function in the services.php file, you must use GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET in the .env file, without white spaces.

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxxxxxx    
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

in the services file, use this

'client_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID'),         
'client_secret' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET'),

Answer 2

I just solved the same problem, my first solution is by passing the client_id and secret on the controller using the ->with(). Code goes like this:

    return Socialite::driver('google')
    ->with(
        ['client_id' => 'xxxxxxxx'],
        ['client_secret' => 'xxxxxxxx'],
        ['redirect' => 'http://localhost:8000/Yourcallback'])
    ->redirect();

OR just by removing the env() on services.php

    'client_id' => env('xxxxxxx'),
    'client_secret' => env('xxxxxxx'),

with this

'client_id' => 'xxxxxxx',
'client_secret' => 'xxxxxxx',

Its seems that Socialite does not recoginized env() function.
