Issue with Namespacing Google Libraries in WordPress Plugin

Description

Before using namespaces by php-scoper to google/apiclient, google/analytics-admin, google/analytics-data, all the functionality worked fine. Still, to avoid conflicts of the plugin, I used php-scoper and namespace the entire libraries by MyPlugin. However, after implementing this, errors are encountered. The provided error logs indicate issues with initializing and constructing certain classes from the Google libraries.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Namespace the Google libraries using php-scoper.
2. Implement the changes into the WordPress plugin.
3. Observe errors related to class initialization and construction.

Expected Behavior

The plugin should function without errors after implementing namespaces to the Google libraries.

Actual Behavior

Errors related to class initialization and construction are encountered.

Additional Context

• Autoloading has been verified and confirmed to be functioning correctly.
• The entire Google library is properly namespaced.
• Excluding Google namespaces leads to errors related to guzzlehttp, monolog, and psr.

Questions

1. Does namespacing the Google libraries affect their functionality?
2. How can conflicts arising from namespacing Google libraries be resolved in the WordPress environment?

Hi @bilal-ahmed-wpb
Thanks for filling the issue.

Although, we don't provide support for wordpress and the interaction with php-scoper definitely makes it tough to crack.

To answer one of your questions, yes the namespacing is important(just like any other composer package).
But from what I can see in the docs for php-scoper, it should handle those changes for you.

Could you provide a docker image or a minimal reproducible code where we can probably provide you with more help.

Apart from this I can recommend you to try the same with minimal setup, example only one package in your plugin so you can zero down on the bug.

Thanks.

A question raised in my mind. The files in which there is the following comment:

Generated by the protocol buffer compiler. DO NOT EDIT!

In google/analytics-admin and google/analytics-data can I add my custom plugin namespace on them and will they work then?
