To troubleshoot the issue where the user_id
is returning NULL
, you can follow these steps:
Ensure User Authentication:
Make sure that the user is authenticated before reaching the createWebhookSubscription
method. If Auth::id()
is returning NULL
, it typically means the user is not authenticated.
Middleware: Ensure that your route is protected by authentication middleware. This will ensure that only authenticated users can access this route.
Debug Logging: Add more debug logging to see where the issue might be.
Check Token Validity:
Ensure that the token used in Http::withToken($this->bearer)
is valid and not expired.
Here's a revised version of your code with additional debug logging and checks:
public function createWebhookSubscription(Request $request) {
$user_id = Auth::id();
// Debug log for user authentication
if (is_null($user_id)) {
Log::error('User not authenticated or user ID is null', ['user_id' => $user_id]);
return response()->json(['status' => 'error', 'message' => 'User not authenticated'], 401);
}
Log::info('Authenticated user', ['user_id' => $user_id]);
$this->deleteAllWebhooks();
$url = "https://api.calendly.com/webhook_subscriptions";
$postData = [
"url" => $this->urlWebhook,
"events" => ["invitee.created", "invitee.canceled", "invitee_no_show.created", "invitee_no_show.deleted", "routing_form_submission.created"],
"organization" => $this->requestCurrentOrganizationUser(),
"scope" => "organization",
"user_data" => [
"user_id" => $user_id
]
];
Log::info('Request data for creating webhook subscription', ['data' => $postData]);
$response = Http::withToken($this->bearer)
->withHeaders([
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
])
->post($url, $postData);
if ($response->successful()) {
Log::info('Webhook subscription created successfully', ['response' => $response->json()]);
return response()->json(['status' => 'success', 'message' => 'Webhook subscription created successfully']);
} else {
Log::error('Failed to create webhook subscription', ['response' => $response->body()]);
return response()->json(['status' => 'error', 'message' => 'Failed to create webhook subscription'], 500);
}
}
Make sure your route is protected by authentication middleware:
Route::middleware('auth')->post('/create-webhook-subscription', [CalendlyController::class, 'createWebhookSubscription']);
Ensure that your middleware is set up correctly in app/Http/Kernel.php
. For example:
protected $routeMiddleware = [
// Other middleware
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
];
If the user is authenticated and the user_id
is still NULL
, it could be an issue with the authentication setup itself. Check the following:
Add a debug line at the beginning of your method to see all request data:
Log::info('Request received', ['request' => $request->all()]);
To test if the authentication is working, you can add a simple route and controller method to return the authenticated user's ID:
Route::middleware('auth')->get('/test-auth', function () {
return response()->json(['user_id' => Auth::id()]);
});
Navigate to /test-auth
while logged in and ensure it returns the correct user_id
.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify why Auth::id()
is returning NULL
and resolve the issue.
