Issue on Laravel 6.X "Unable to perform location search, the error was: "Undefined variable: url"."

[arungpisyadi]

Hello,

I need help in solving this issue, the problem is it's only happening on the staging server which is using shared hosting. I've tried to find any kind of information through Google and this repository issue section and couldn't find anything similar to my case.

use Mapper;

$google_look = $request->address.' '.$request->address2.', '.$request->zip.', '.$request->city.', '.$request->state.', US';
try {
	$map = Mapper::location($google_look);
	$this->latitude = $map->getLatitude();
	$this->longitude = $map->getlongitude();
	$this->google_place_id = $map->getPlaceId();
} catch (\Cornford\Googlmapper\Exceptions\MapperSearchResponseException $e){
	return redirect()->back()->with('error-message', 'Error: '.$e->getCode().' => '.$e->getMessage());
} catch (Exception $e) {
	return redirect()->back()->with('error-message', 'Error: '.$e->getCode().' => '.$e->getMessage());
}

Hi, Could you add some more context to the exception please? Such as the stack trace.

Hello @bradcornford

Below is the stack trace (I hid the complete root dir and replace it with "root app directory").

Like I have mentioned, the issue doen't happen on my localhost environment. It only happens on production server.

Thanks.

[bradcornford]

Thanks for that. Are you up to date with the library on the production server? As the line numbers don't seem to correlate with the package in master. The request for location is made against the geocode api, can you run the following and get a result?

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=90210%20US&sensor=false&key=[API_KEY]
