CakePHP 3：会议已经开始使用Hybridauth 3

I have a LoginController where I do my usual login operation with combination of an email address and a password associated with the account.

I have separated my Hybridauth related code into a separate controller named OauthController where I have all my Hybridauth magic and where my callback / endpoint resides.

In the OauthController I check if user's email from the specified provider is already registered, and in either case I try to login that user with $this->Auth->setUser(object).

Whenever, or whatever from the $this->Auth is called, I get a response stating:

Session was already started

I have browser through CakePHP 3 code and found the following statement in:

vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Network/Session.php (335)

public function start()
{
    if ($this->_started) {
        return true;
    }

    if ($this->_isCLI) {
        $_SESSION = [];
        $this->id('cli');

        return $this->_started = true;
    }

    if (session_status() === \PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE) {
        throw new RuntimeException('Session was already started');
    }

    ...

And that's the point in code where that message is thrown at me.

Now, as I browsed through the Hybridauth code itself, I have found following in:

vendor/hybridauth/hybridauth/src/Storage/Session.php (46)

public function __construct()
{
    if (session_id()) {
        return;
    }

    if (headers_sent()) {
        throw new RuntimeException('HTTP headers already sent to browser and Hybridauth won\'t be able to start/resume PHP session. To resolve this, session_start() must be called before outputing any data.');
    }

    if (! session_start()) {
        throw new RuntimeException('PHP session failed to start.');
    }
}

And both of them call session_start, one before the other, although CakePHP's part is blocking me.

I have tried removing !session_start() check from Hybridauth, but then Hybridauth doesn't know where to read out it's thingies it needs to read.

So, as a demonstrator, I am trying to achieve this in OauthController:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Hybridauth\Hybridauth;

class OauthController extends AppController
{

    public function callback($provider)
    {
        try {
            $hybridauth = new Hybridauth($config);

            // additional mystery code

            $hybridauth->authenticate();

            if($everything_okay) {
                $this->Auth->setUser($userObject); // and this is the point of failure
                return $this->redirect('/account'); // and this never happends... :(
            }
        }
    }

}

Any help, ideas, insights on how to deal with this are all welcome!

Simply start the CakePHP session manually before using the Hybridauth library, so that it bails out at the session_id() check and picks up the existing session.

For example in your controller:

$this->getRequest()->getSession()->start();

// in CakePHP versions before 3.6/3.5
// $this->request->session()->start();
