[PHP] unable to access returned object due to protected container

[jbs1]

I am using an php client generated with v.2.2.2 from this json.
When I call an some endpoint it would return something like eg. this:

Swagger\Client\Model\GetCharactersCharacterIdContracts200Ok Object
(
    [container:protected] => Array
        (
            [acceptor_id] => 0
            [assignee_id] => 2112925746
            [availability] => personal
        (
)

But as you can see the container is 'protected', thus i can't access anything inside, which makes it pretty useless.

I don't know if the 'protected' is there on purpose or if it is an error with the generation?
If is is there on purpose, how else can i access the things inside?

Please try the latest master (2.3.0), in which the PHP client has been refactored with lots of improvements. SNAPSHOT version available in the README.

when i try to use v2.3.0 according to the documentation generated it gives me an Uncaught Error: Class Http\\Adapter\\Guzzle6\\Client.

Also I am generally confused about the whole new new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client() thing. do i have to put that into every new api instance i create, because in the generated doc in the example under the "Getting Started" section it is not there, however in the documentation for the classes it is there.

If it needs to be used in all instances, it would be nice to accordingly show that in the "getting started" section, because that's the first doc somebody sees.

@jbs1 Hi. Thanks for reporting the issue.

• The first argument of API is optional.
• If the argument is omitted, GuzzleHttp\Client will be instantiate in its constructor.

Therefore, the parameter new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client() which in generated document, is wrong.
We should fix it. 💡

@jbs1 The matter about Guzzle6\Client has been fixed by #6935. ✨

@jbs1 I think you should access the properties using the getter instead. Here is an example extracted from the petstore integration tests:

    /**
     * Test case for getPetById
     *
     * Find pet by ID.
     *
     */
    public function testGetPetById()
    {
        // initialize the API client without host
        $pet_id = 10005;  // ID of pet that needs to be fetched

        $config = new Configuration();
        $config->setApiKey('api_key', '111222333444555');
        $pet_api = new Api\PetApi(null, $config);
        // return Pet (model)
        $response = $pet_api->getPetById($pet_id);
        $this->assertSame($response->getId(), $pet_id);
        $this->assertSame($response->getName(), 'PHP Unit Test');
        $this->assertSame($response->getPhotoUrls()[0], 'http://test_php_unit_test.com');
        $this->assertSame($response->getCategory()->getId(), $pet_id);
        $this->assertSame($response->getCategory()->getName(), 'test php category');
        $this->assertSame($response->getTags()[0]->getId(), $pet_id);
        $this->assertSame($response->getTags()[0]->getName(), 'test php tag');
    }
