laravel - Can't use socialite on lumen 5.2

Question

Here is my config socialite for lumen but I got error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function set() on null

Any idea?

---

my AuthController

namespace AppHttpControllers;
use Socialite;

class AuthController extends Controller {

public function redirectToProvider() {
  return Socialite :: driver('github')->redirect();
}

public function handleProviderCallback() {
  $user = Socialite :: driver('github')->user();
  dd( $user );
}
}

my Route.php

$app->get('auth/github', 'AuthController@redirectToProvider');
$app->get('auth/github/callback', 'AuthController@handleProviderCallback');

my bootstrap/app.php added this

class_alias(LaravelSocialiteFacadesSocialite::class, 'Socialite');
$app->register(LaravelSocialiteSocialiteServiceProvider::class);
$app->configure('services');

my config/services

 return [
   'github' => [
    'client_id' => '############',
    'client_secret' => '#############',
    'redirect' => 'my callback url',
  ],
];

Answer 1

You first need to correct your Socialite calls in your two methods:

public function redirectToProvider()
{
  return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();
}

public function handleProviderCallback()
{
  $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
  dd( $user );
}

Don't use spaces at Socialite :: driver.

Important change Lumen 5.2 (see release notes)

Lumen 5.2 represents a shift on slimming Lumen to focus solely on serving stateless, JSON APIs. As such, sessions and views are no longer included with the framework.

Sessions are not supported anymore in Lumen 5.2. If you need those you better use Laravel instead.
