class 'Vinkla\Pusher\Facades\Pusher' does not have a method 'socket_auth'

[clementbirkle]

Hello,

I don't arrive to implementing the auth endpoint for a private channel. The response is: class 'Vinkla\Pusher\Facades\Pusher' does not have a method 'socket_auth'

My code:

class UserController extends Controller
{
    protected $pusher;

    public function __construct(PusherManager $pusher)
    {
        $this->pusher = $pusher;
    }

    public function getAuthPusher()
    {
        $auth = $this->pusher->socket_auth($_POST['channel_name'], $_POST['socket_id']);
    }
}

Thank you for your help :)

It has a __call method.

[clementbirkle]

Thanks for your quick response! Can you give me an example please ?

[GrahamCampbell]

No, just call the method?

[GrahamCampbell]

It doesn't need to exist to be called.

[clementbirkle]

I do not understand how to call the method "socket_auth".
I try: $auth = $this->pusher->socket_auth;

[GrahamCampbell]

Should work just fine?

No, it does not work: 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined property: Vinkla\Pusher\PusherManager::$socket_auth'

Finally I found a solution ... less clean but it works:

    public function getAuthPusher(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'channel_name' => 'required',
            'socket_id' => 'required',
        ]);

        $options = array(
            'cluster' => config('pusher.connections.main.options.cluster'),
            'encrypted' => config('pusher.connections.main.options.encrypted')
        );
        $pusher = new \Pusher(
            config('pusher.connections.main.auth_key'),
            config('pusher.connections.main.secret'),
            config('pusher.connections.main.app_id'),
            $options
        );


        $auth = $pusher->socket_auth($request->channel_name, $request->socket_id);

        ...
    }

No, it does not work: 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined property: Vinkla\Pusher\PusherManager::$socket_auth'

You need to call with with paramaters, instead of using property access. Your code there is not right.

[GrahamCampbell]

$this->pusher->socket_auth($request->channel_name, $request->socket_id);

That there WILL work just fine.

I just found the problem !!

I added the alias 'Pusher' => Vinkla\Pusher\Facades\Pusher::class,
I removed it and it works now :)

Thanks for your help !
