Plausible throws fatal error on the WordPress playground

[jdevalk]

If you try to use the Plausible WordPress plugin on the WordPress playground, you get the following fatal error:

Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Plausible\Analytics\WP\Client\Lib\GuzzleHttp requires cURL, the allow_url_fopen ini setting, or a custom HTTP handler. in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/plausible-analytics/src/Client/lib/Lib/GuzzleHttp/Utils.php:105 Stack trace:

I was going to suggest "just" from using GuzzleHttp to WordPress core's Wp_Http library, using wp_remote_get or wp_remote_post, but looking at your code that might be non-trivial, which means you'll have to at least catch the RuntimeException above and throw a notice to the user instead of a fatal error.

This issue is fixed in 2.0.3. Thanks again, @jdevalk!

I still see it when I download the plugin from .org and install it in a clean playground?

Pfff, I read past the allow_url_fopen part and was only checking for cURL. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Fix will be included in the next release! Thanks again!
