define logFilePath as environment variable

[Robert Zimmermann]

Hello,

is it possible to define the logFilePath as environment variable?

Hi Robert,

There's no documented support to define the logFilePath as environment variable in our PHP client library. Could you state in business terms your use case?

Depending on the environment, we want to be able to change the logFilePath and logLevel.

Both are part of google_ads_php.ini so it would be logical if this can also be set via the environment variable.

I have now found a solution:

// Binds the Google Ads API client.
$this->app->singleton('Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\V9\GoogleAdsClient', function () {
// Constructs a Google Ads API client configured from the properties file.
return (new GoogleAdsClientBuilder())
->withLogger((new LoggerFactory())
->createLogger('google-ads', config('googleads.log_file_path'), config('googleads.log_level')))
->withOAuth2Credential((new OAuth2TokenBuilder())
->fromEnvironmentVariables()
->build())
->fromEnvironmentVariables()
->build();
});

Hi Robert,

I am happy to know that you've found a solution. I am also a member of the Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

Alternatively, you may follow this guide as it explains how to log API transactions for PHP client library as well as updating the setting of logFilePath.

Let me know if you have further questions.
