Google_Client loaded even if already exists in codepath

  • I use various Google APIs in my codebase via the official Google Client. When I activated wp2yt today it threw the following fatal:

    [02-Feb-2016 21:37:33 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Google_Client in /srv/www/wp-content/plugins/wp2yt-uploader/inc/Google/Client.php on line 37
    [02-Feb-2016 21:37:33 UTC] PHP Stack trace:
    [02-Feb-2016 21:37:33 UTC] PHP 1. {main}() /srv/www/wp-admin/plugins.php:0
    [02-Feb-2016 21:37:33 UTC] PHP 2. plugin_sandbox_scrape() /srv/www/wp-admin/plugins.php:164
    [02-Feb-2016 21:37:33 UTC] PHP 3. include() /srv/www/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php:1964
    [02-Feb-2016 13:37:33 America/Los_Angeles] CaughtError: /srv/www/wp-content/plugins/wp2yt-uploader/inc/Google/Client.php:37 -> Cannot redeclare class Google_Client

    The simple workaround:

    if (!class_exists('Google_Client')) {
    /** Require YouTube API Files */
    require_once YT4WP_PATH.'inc/Google/Client.php';
    }

    I believe this issue may explain possible interaction problems with other Google plugins.

    Hi Buley,

    That is correct. Thank you for posting that here.

    I am currently in the process of re-writing this entire plugin to be a bit more user friendly, and to begin utilizing v3 of the API.

    That is the main reason that I haven’t updated this plugin in a while. Hopefully I will have some time to deal with things in the coming weeks, but for the time being – your solution should suffice for other users.

    Thanks!
    Evan
