Fatal error: Class 'Google_Client' not found

[simonericci]

Api installed manually, not via Composer, downloaded from here (first zip): https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/releases

I got this error, trying to instantiate the main class:
Fatal error: Class 'Google_Client' not found

• Php "require_once" looks ok (no error).
• Json's credentials looks ok (no error).
• Class instance not ok.

require_once('./vendor/autoload.php'); putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=./mycredentials.json'); $client = new Google_Client(); $client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials(); $client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fusiontables'); $service = new Google_Service_Fusiontables($client);

This is the source code I can see in /vendor/autoload.php
`<?php

// autoload.php @generated by Composer

require_once DIR . '/composer' . '/autoload_real.php';

return ComposerAutoloaderInit9c18b0e2f8ac75b5fbc347bb34dca41d::getLoader();`

Any hint?

Hey @simonericci
Can you do an ls -la in your root directory? It's possible you're in the wrong directory, and so pulling in a different vendor/autoload.php than the one required in this library. Also, perform an ls -la src/Google to verify the Client.php file exists where it should be.

[simonericci]

Whoops, /src folder missing... thanks @bshaffer

@induraniv @Wakodebe @garciacarmonaam @luispinonferrer-capgemini
Google_Client is located in src/Google/Client.php of the package archive.

The error 'Fatal error: Class 'Google_Client' not found' indicates that Client.php was not included/required explicitly or automatically. That is typically due to a line like

include_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

not resolving to the correct location (in the package archive: vendor/autoload.php). The path of autoload is relative any file with this line so make sure to account for that if you paste this line into other files.

[tusharzore1]

check the file composer.json

and add "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google" in classmap array if not exist.

and run composer dump-autoload

"autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google"
        ]
}

[bshaffer]

You should definitely not need to add an autoload directive to your composer.json. If you install via composer, including vendor/autoload.php will suffice. If you downloaded the library zip, you'll need to require the vendor/autoload.php file which exists inside that package.

[tusharzore1]

Yeah, Definitely.
But somehow laravel framework not able to find class Google_Client into autoload.php. It needs
class mapping via classmap array.

[bshaffer]

@tusharzore1 I do not know why in your specific case the class Google_Client isn't found, but I can tell you with certainty the class mapping should not need to be added to the classmap array.

I had the same issue and when checking the autoload_namespaces.php file I noticed that the Google entry pointed to '/src'. I added that folder and the issue was resolved.

[kamleshwebtech]

require_once('/vendor/google-api-php-client-2.4.0/src/Google/autoload.php');
require_once('/vendor/google-api-php-client-2.4.0/vendor/autoload.php');

$client = new Google_Client();

I have checked the file path by file_exists function and included both the autoload files but system is still returning error:
Class 'Google_Client' not found

Please help to fix this issue.

[kamleshwebtech]

Is there anyone who can help me to fix this issue?

I had the same issue in laravel and solved it by importing the Google_Client :

use Google_Client;

[pult]

install google/apiclient:

$ composer require google/apiclient

[tusharzore1]

I had tried a customised solution for this situation, commented above.

[msozsari]

if you have "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google" directory and still you get this error try use command.

use Google_Client;

thank you very much this also solve the problem of mine...

[carolt00]

Tuve el mismo problema en laravel y lo resolví importando Google_Client:
use Google_Client;

muchas gracias, esto también resuelve el problema mío ...

@DarshitAnjaria Hola, me puedes decir por favor en que parte lo pusiste?

[maalgorepublic]

Faced the same issue on Codeigniter, I was including autoload.php of require "\vendor\google\auth\autoload.php" this was causing the problem.
You don't need to map any class in composer, including autoload of vendor instead of google solved my problem.
require ('vendor\autoload.php')

if you have "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google" directory and still you get this error try use command.

use Google_Client;

This "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google" directory is not present after i installed composer

I had the same issue in laravel and solved it by importing the Google_Client :

use Google_Client;

Save me!

For more clearly, importing use Google_Client; and then, instead of using new \Google_Client();, use new Google_Client(); (without backslash).

This also applies to any other Google classes, eg. Google_Services_Adsense.

Try this:

$client = new Client();

[bshaffer]

The base directories are now in vendor/google/apiclient/src and vendor/google/apiclient-services/src

If you use composer and include vendor/autoload.php, this change will not effect you. However, if you used some other mechanism such as include_dir, then this change may have broken your installation.

if you have "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google" directory and still you get this error try use command.

use Google_Client;

Life saver. Thanks. This worked with CakePHP 4

[darshannv]

Please update the composer.json

 "google/apiclient": "^2.12.1"

Inside the composer.json file under the extra update this

 "extra": {
     "google/apiclient-services": [
        "Drive",
        "YouTube"
    ]
}

under the script section at the bottom add this line

"scripts": {
     "pre-autoload-dump": "Google\\Task\\Composer::cleanup"
 }

After adding it, run the command

composer update
composer dump-autoload 

It will work.
