Laravel Socialite: InvalidStateException

Question 1

I'm using Laravel Socialite to add a Facebook connect button on a website. Sometimes, I've got this error on callback:

exception 'LaravelSocialiteTwoInvalidStateException' 
in /example/vendor/laravel/socialite/src/Two/AbstractProvider.php:161

I don't know what it mean and did not found anything yet about this error. The real problem is it seems to be a random exception (don't understood why it happens). So what this error means and how to avoid it?

It seems it's not the same problem as Laravel 5 geting InvalidStateException in AbstractProvider.php, cause in my case it's random.

Question 2

I ran into this issue last night and solve it with the following solution.

More information on my issue, I've got

InvalidStateException in AbstractProvider.php line 182

in the function handleProviderCallback() when it re-direct back from Facebook login. It seems to be the same as your issue.

Furthermore I found my issue occurs when I open my site without www. When I open my site with www.mysite.com - no problem. At first I think my issue is random until I've got the clue by Chris Townsend's reply to the question - Thank you very much.

The Solution

Go to your www root, check the laravel file config/session.php
Check session Session Cookie Domain The default configuration is 'domain' => null, I made a change to 'domain' => 'mysite.com'.
After 'php artisan cache:clear' and 'composer dump-autoload', I can login with no issue from both www.mysite.com and mysite.com

Be sure to delete your cookies from browser when testing it after these modifications are done. Old cookies can still produce problems.

Question 3

Open your .env file under root project. Edit following Lines in it :

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587 #Update from 465 to 587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourpassword

Restart local webserver & It worked.

Question 4

After a long search, the solution is to remove the profile from scopes in vendorlaravelsocialitesrcTwoGoogleProvider.php

protected $scopes = [
    'openid',
    'email',
];

Question 5

From the Socialite documentation

The stateless method may be used to disable session state verification. This is useful when adding social authentication to an API:

return Socialite::driver('google')->stateless()->user();

Question 6

You are using join instead of left join

Try this

DB::table('A')
->leftjoin('B', 'A.program_id', '=', 'B.program_id')
->select('A.program_id')
->whereNull('B.program_id')
->where('A.student_id', '=', 5)
->get()->toArray();

It will produce a query like

Laravel Socialite: InvalidStateException
