使用配置文件和Paypal SDK会抛出PayPalInvalidCredentialException

Question

^{This was originally a support ticket that ended up being my rubber duck. I'm posting it to stack overflow to help anyone that comes behind me. Hopefully, it'll save you some time.}

Required Information

• PHP Version: 5.3
• PayPal-PHP-SDK Version: 1.11
• Debug ID(s): ?

Issue Description

Using the instructions at: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/wiki/File-based-Configurations does not seem to work. I'm getting the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PayPal\Exception\PayPalInvalidCredentialException' with message 'Credential not found for  default user. Please make sure your configuration/APIContext has credential information

The above article links to sample code that doesn't match the code in the article. Furthermore, it seems to reference a nonexistent $apiContext.

The official samples contain an sdk_config.ini, but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Other (older) sources prefer to use the "Classic TEST API Credentials." I'd prefer to use the id and secret as this seems to be a better solution if only it would work.

;Logging Information
[Log]

; The class should be implementing \PayPal\Log\PayPalLogFactory.

;Caching Configuration
[cache]
; If Cache is enabled, it stores the access token retrieved from ClientId and Secret from the

; If the value is set to 'true', it would try to create a file and store the information.
; For any other value, it would disable it
; Please note, this is a very good performance improvement, and we would encourage you to
; set this up properly to reduce the number of calls, to almost 50% on normal use cases
; PLEASE NOTE: You may need to provide proper write permissions to /var directory under PayPal-PHP-SDK on
; your hosting server or whichever custom directory you choose
cache.enabled=true
; When using a relative path, the cache file is created
; relative to the .php file that is the entry point
; for this request. You can also provide an absolute

Solution:

• PP_CONFIG_PATH should be the path to the .ini file, without the filename.

  if(!defined("PP_CONFIG_PATH")) {
      define("PP_CONFIG_PATH", 'config/');
  }
  

• The .ini file itself should be named sdk_config.ini. There may be a way to change the filename, but this is what the sdk looks for by default. I'm certainly interested if someone knows how to change it, but this is not a show stopper.
