Laravel 5.3 Personal access token 500


I'm trying to set up my custom API with Passport (well, I'm already halfway through, just need to build my authentication). Whenever I'm trying to create a personal access token from my Passport dashboard (/home route), I get a 'Whoops, something went wrong!' error.

This comes from my Vue component (PersonalAccessTokens.vue), and my console logs me a 500 internal server error at the Post route for storing personal access tokens...

\Laravel\Passport\Http\Controllers\PersonalAccessTokenController@store is the method responsible but I can't seem to find something outof the ordinary as I did exactly follow the Laracasts video about Passport

Anyone else experiencing this problem ?

TIA!


Solution

  • I figured it out.

    Apparently it can't read my personal access token client, that you should generate when setting up Passport by using the command: php artisan passport:install

    Running this command solves my problem.
