Meeting creation fails with Update to Version 2.1
With version 2.1 (https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-api-php/commit/5ceff705955706c97587001f8eb5c5ff874370f7) support for attributes of a newer BBB API Version were added. During the meeting creation I have encountered a problem.
At least the changes were introduced in a way, that would be a breaking change compared to version 2.0. The problem is that typed getter's are used in the CreateMeetingParameters for the new properties, but they have no type specific default. If one uses this class for meeting creation without explizit. setting them, it fails.
Reproduce Just take the example for "meeting creation" from the wiki. Then one will get a fatal error
` use BigBlueButton\BigBlueButton; use BigBlueButton\Parameters\CreateMeetingParameters;
$bbb = new BigBlueButton();
$createMeetingParams = new CreateMeetingParameters(1, 'test'); $createMeetingParams->setAttendeePassword('abc'); $createMeetingParams->setModeratorPassword('abc');
$response = $bbb->createMeeting($createMeetingParams); if ($response->getReturnCode() == 'FAILED') { return 'Can't create room! please contact our administrator.'; } else { // process after room created } `
Workaround
Add defaults for all the new parameters manually, like the following:
$createMeetingParams->setAllowModsToEjectCameras(true); $createMeetingParams->setBreakoutRoomsEnabled(true); $createMeetingParams->setBreakoutRoomsRecord(true); $createMeetingParams->setBreakoutRoomsPrivateChatEnabled(true); $createMeetingParams->setMeetingLayout(\BigBlueButton\Core\MeetingLayout::CUSTOM_LAYOUT);
Solution We could add the defaults for the new parameters as defined in https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html#create in the parameter class.
