The reason of this error is due to Laravel doesn’t use native PHP session store.

1. Create a custom session handler class

1
2
$ mkdir /path/to/project/app/Libraries/Facebook
$ vim /path/to/project/app/Libraries/Facebook/FacebookPersistentDataHandler.php

paste the following content

<?php
namespace App\Libraries\Facebook;

class FacebookPersistentDataHandler implements \Facebook\PersistentData\PersistentDataInterface
{
    public function get($key)
    {   
      return \Session::get('facebook.' . $key);
    }   

    public function set($key, $value)
    {   
      \Session::put('facebook.' . $key, $value);
    }   

}

2. Pass in to Facebook instance

<?php
$facebook = new \Facebook\Facebook([
    'app_id' => config('facebook.app_id'),
    'app_secret' => config('facebook.app_secret'),
    'persistent_data_handler' => new \App\Libraries\Facebook\FacebookPersistentDataHandler()
]);

This should solve the issue
