An unofficial PHP wrapper for the VW Car-Net API

It's me, Tom Smith! 👋

I've been crafting web applications professionally for kind of a long time.

...and some of them have even been sort of good.

php-vw-car-net's Issues

Getting "cURL Error 0" in certain environments

I am getting the following error when trying to use this package in a new environment.

An attempt to call the authenticate() method throws an exception with message: "cURL error 0: The cURL request was retried 3 times and did not succeed. The most likely reason for the failure is that cURL was unable to rewind the body of the request and subsequent retries resulted in the same error."

I am trying to find a fix.

Testing European accounts

I have a 2018 Volkswagen Passat with Car-Net and WeConnect and would love to remotely read the mileage and fuel level of my vehicle. I've tried using your code to connect to my account but unfortunately it doesn't work, probably due to differences between US and EU accounts. If you'd like, I could help you test this using my account.

Getting 500 Internal Service Error and Curl Error 60

At first I got a cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem when the code tries to get the login form. So I changed the GuzzleHttp Client with 'verify' => false.

That seemed to fix the error. But now I keep getting a 500 Internal Service Error when I try to get the auth tokens

Can you help me figure out why this is the case?

Install issue

Thomas, I tried to install your wrapper using composer as you explained in the wiki. I am getting the following errors:

$ composer require thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net
Using version ^0.2.2 for thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net ^0.2.2 -> satisfiable by thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net[v0.2.2].
    - thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net v0.2.2 requires ext-simplexml * -> the requested PHP extension simplexml is missing from your system.

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-calendar.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-ctype.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-exif.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-fileinfo.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-ftp.ini

    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-posix.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-shmop.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-sockets.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-sysvmsg.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-sysvsem.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-sysvshm.ini
    - /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-tokenizer.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

How can I fix this (I am not a php expert)
Thx Stephan

I am running into the issue: Class 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase' not found

Thanks - now I am running into the next issue:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase' not found in /home/stephan/GitHub/vendor/thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net/tests/AuthenticationTest.php:20 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/stephan/GitHub/vendor/thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net/tests/AuthenticationTest.php on line 20

I could not find the definition of the class „TestCase“

Failed opening required vendor/autoload.php

Thomas, me again. I am getting the following error once I try to execute the AuthentificationTest.php script:

  | <b>Warning</b>:  require_once(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/stephan/GitHub/vendor/thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net/tests/AuthenticationTest.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br />
  | <br />
  | <b>Fatal error</b>:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in <b>/home/stephan/GitHub/vendor/thomasesmith/php-vw-car-net/tests/AuthenticationTest.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br />

I use the XAMPP - Apache webserver and I Installed your code with composer as shown in the readme. The file vendor/autoload.php exists. The only modification I made it to include my carnet credentials into the _config.example.php file.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
