tasks->createTask() throws exception

The following PHP method isn’t workin in my class for me even though the $workspace_id and $project_id are valid (and were obtained using the SDK connected to my Asana account).

public function handle() {

        $task = $this->asana->tasks->createTask(
            [
                'workspace' => $workspace_id,
                'projects' => [$project_id],
                'name' => $content_story->title,
                'notes' => $content_story->description
            ],
            ['opt_pretty' => 'true']
        );

}

It returns the following exception:

Asana\Errors\InvalidRequestError : Invalid Request

Not sure exactly when you tried this but the first thing to note is that Asana just went through an outage over the past few hours. It’s resolved now so I would try this again now. That may not be the cause of your issue but it’s the first thing to be suspicious of.

Here is my solution to create a Task

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$client = Asana\Client::accessToken('INSERT ASANA ACCESS TOKEN', 
    array('headers' => array('asana-enable' => 'new_user_task_lists,new_project_templates'))); // Asana deprecation

$create_task = array(
	'name'		 => 'New test task', // Add your tasks name
	'projects'   => 'INSERT PROJECT GID',  // Add your project gid
	'workspace'  => 'INSERT WORKSPACE GID',  // Add your workspace gid
	'notes'		 => 'Here are some notes' // Add your notes here
);

$result = $client->tasks->createTask($create_task, array('opt_pretty' => 'true'));  // Create Task
