I'm trying to pass in attributes to my vertex shader but for some reason it keeps giving me a -1 on the 3rd attribute location I'm asking openGl to retrieve via glGetAttribLocation(). Currently it keeps giving me a -1 for the texCoord attribute and if I switch the texAttrib and colAttrib around (switching the lines in code) it gives me a -1 on the color property instead of the texture and I have no idea why? Since a -1 is being passed to glVertexAttribPointer I get the 1281 OpenGL error: GL_INVALID_VALUE.

My vertex shader:

#version 150

in vec3 position;
in vec3 color;
in vec2 texcoord;

out vec3 Color;
out vec2 Texcoord;

void main()
{
    Color = color;
    Texcoord = texcoord;
    gl_Position = vec4(position.x, position.y, position.z, 1.0);
}

OpenGL code:

basicShader.Use();

// Buffers and shaders
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
glBindVertexArray(vao);

glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);
// Make it active vbo
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);

// Build basic triangle
float vertices[] = {
    // position         // color          // textures
    -0.5f,  0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, // Top-left
     0.5f,  0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // Top-right
     0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, // Bottom-right
    -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f// Bottom-left
};
GLuint elements[] = {
    0, 1, 2,
    2, 3, 0
};

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(vertices), vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

GLint posAttrib = glGetAttribLocation(basicShader.shaderProgram, "position");
glEnableVertexAttribArray(posAttrib); // Enable attribute first before specifiying attributes
glVertexAttribPointer(posAttrib, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 8 * sizeof(float), 0); // 6 float sizes is every new vertex

GLint colAttrib = glGetAttribLocation(basicShader.shaderProgram, "color");
glEnableVertexAttribArray(colAttrib);
