Passport laravel createToken Personal access client not found
LaravelLaravel PassportLaravel Problem Overview
After setup of passport, I have configured and created a controller to manage Register-Login- and - access to a resource for a general external post request. I do not need for a specific client. But when I try to create a token in the registration or in the login:
$tokenObj=$user->createToken('APPLICATION')->accessToken;
The error is:
> RuntimeException: Personal access client not found. Please create one. in file > C:\xampp7.1\htdocs\passport\vendor\laravel\passport\src\ClientRepository.php > on line 94 > Stack trace: > 1. RuntimeException->() C:\xampp7.1\htdocs\passport\vendor\laravel\passport\src\ClientRepository.php:94 > 2. Laravel\Passport\ClientRepository->personalAccessClient() C:\xampp7.1\htdocs\passport\vendor\laravel\passport\src\PersonalAccessTokenFactory.php:71
How can I solve it?
Laravel Solutions
Solution 1 - Laravel
for me it solved by running
php artisan passport:install
because it have been happened after refreshing my database.
Solution 2 - Laravel
You have to create access clients first. It is documented here. An access client it not the same than a user token, you can have one access client and many users with different passwords and tokens.
Solution 3 - Laravel
In addition to the namelivia's comment. As Laravel doc says:
> Before your application can issue personal access tokens, you will > need to create a personal access client. You may do this using the > passport:client command with the --personal option. If you have > already run the passport:install command, you do not need to run this > command:
php artisan passport:client --personal
But if you did not run the command:
php artisan passport:install
You should run it first.
Solution 4 - Laravel
After running the command
php artisan passport:client --personal
and give you this prompt
What should we name the personal access client? [Artisan Personal Access Client]:
don't worry just type in any name and press the enter key.
Solution 5 - Laravel
should I call
php artisan passport:install
every time I run
php artisan:migrate
there is a way to do it properly?
Solution 6 - Laravel
Simply run this command
php artisan passport:install --force
Solution 7 - Laravel
i had the same error over and over again but i didn't how to reproduce it, but i figured it out why.
when you execute php artisan passport:install, it stores the two clients IDs in the database after the migrate command, but if you fresh migrate again, it's obvious you'll lose those two previous IDs, this is why this error was shown after executing the install command.
UPDATE
php artisan passport:install -f will force recreating the IDs for the new migrated database.
