Error message is (#12) bio field is deprecated for versions v2.8 and higher
I used version 2.0.3.RELEASE of spring-social-facebook and Facebook app api v2.8. I called Facebook login but returned this message. "(#12) bio field is deprecated for versions v2.8 and higher" How can i fix this?
Solution 1:
I got the same error, 2.0.3.RELEASE of spring-social-facebook seems to be not compatible with v2.8 Facebook API version (released yesterday). Reading from facebook changelog for the v2.8 (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog):
User Bios - The bio field on the User object is no longer available. If the bio field was set for a person, the value will now be appended to the about field.
I think we have to wait a new release of spring-social-facebook library. In the release 2.0.3 (in the interface org.springframework.social.facebook.api.UserOperations) there is the "bio" field in the PROFILE_FIELDS constant and it is not supported in the v2.8 facebook API version.
UPDATE: I found a workaround in my case:
BEFORE:
Connection<Facebook> connection = facebookConnectionFactory.createConnection(accessGrant);
Facebook facebook = connection.getApi();
User userProfile = facebook.userOperations().getUserProfile();//raises the exception caused by the "bio" field.
AFTER
Connection<Facebook> connection = facebookConnectionFactory.createConnection(accessGrant);
Facebook facebook = connection.getApi();
String [] fields = { "id", "email", "first_name", "last_name" };
User userProfile = facebook.fetchObject("me", User.class, fields);
Here a complete list of field you could use:
{ "id", "about", "age_range", "birthday", "context", "cover", "currency", "devices", "education", "email", "favorite_athletes", "favorite_teams", "first_name", "gender", "hometown", "inspirational_people", "installed", "install_type", "is_verified", "languages", "last_name", "link", "locale", "location", "meeting_for", "middle_name", "name", "name_format", "political", "quotes", "payment_pricepoints", "relationship_status", "religion", "security_settings", "significant_other", "sports", "test_group", "timezone", "third_party_id", "updated_time", "verified", "video_upload_limits", "viewer_can_send_gift", "website", "work"}
Solution 2:
Workaround for JHipster. Add the following snippet into your SocialService
class until spring-social-facebook
is fixed.
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
@PostConstruct
private void init() {
try {
String[] fieldsToMap = { "id", "about", "age_range", "birthday",
"context", "cover", "currency", "devices", "education",
"email", "favorite_athletes", "favorite_teams",
"first_name", "gender", "hometown", "inspirational_people",
"installed", "install_type", "is_verified", "languages",
"last_name", "link", "locale", "location", "meeting_for",
"middle_name", "name", "name_format", "political",
"quotes", "payment_pricepoints", "relationship_status",
"religion", "security_settings", "significant_other",
"sports", "test_group", "timezone", "third_party_id",
"updated_time", "verified", "viewer_can_send_gift",
"website", "work" };
Field field = Class.forName(
"org.springframework.social.facebook.api.UserOperations")
.getDeclaredField("PROFILE_FIELDS");
field.setAccessible(true);
Field modifiers = field.getClass().getDeclaredField("modifiers");
modifiers.setAccessible(true);
modifiers.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);
field.set(null, fieldsToMap);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
