Invalid parameter on Ad creation

[Baawa]

Hi!

I'm getting an "invalid parameter"-error in this part of the example code, rest of the code for creation of campaign, adset, creative, etc. should be working as they are generating their ids.

`use FacebookAds\Object\Ad;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdFields;
try {
$ad = new Ad(null, $account->id);
$ad->setData(array(
AdFields::CREATIVE => array('creative_id' => $creative->id),
AdFields::NAME => 'hello world',
AdFields::ADSET_ID => $adset->id,
));

$ad->create();
echo 'Ad ID:'.$ad->id."\n";
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Error message: ' .$e->getMessage() ."\n" . "
";
echo 'Error Code: ' .$e->getCode() ."
";
}`

Grateful for any suggestions :)

PS. I'm using a sandbox ad account.

I think you might be missing AdFields::STATUS in your $ad->setData() call. Change that to:

$ad->setData(array(
AdFields::CREATIVE => array('creative_id' => $creative->id),
AdFields::NAME => 'hello world',
AdFields::ADSET_ID => $adset->id,
AdFields::STATUS => Ad::STATUS_PAUSED
));

Also FacebookAds\Exception\Exception thrown by the SDK has additional messages in:

$e->getErrorUserMessage();
$e->getErrorUserTitle();

And they usually contain more verbose information.

thanks...

I haven't been able to try it myself yet, as we removed the feature connected to this issue from our application. Although you should give it a shoot. I've learned from working with the other parts of the API, that most issues can be resolved by making the same calls with different parameters ;)

Good luck :)

I got the same message. The methods RequestException::getErrorUserTitle() and RequestException::getErrorUserMessage() were much more informative.

Is it not the case to change the behavior of getMessage to getErrorUserMessage ?

BTW, I'm unable to locate in the documentation how to handle errors. It is useful mainly because Facebook API errors are not as usual.
