Firefly III undefined method createPersonalAccessClient
May 24, 2025
I wanted to have a play with the Firefly iii finance manager, so setup docker on a raspberry pi.
The instructions to do so can be found here: https://docs.firefly-iii.org/how-to/data-importer/installation/docker/
All worked well, but then I had the following error when trying to access the profile section of the main application so that I could setup the importer.

I am using a very new (10 hours old!) version of firefly iii, v6.2.13, so perhaps it's a bug in the new version.
I managed to fix the issue by getting a command prompt on the firefly_iii_core docker container and running the following command from /var/www/html folder:
php artisan passport:install
