Description:
I’m trying to upgrade from ExpressionEngine 3.5.16 to 4.3.1
and i’m getting the following fatal error within the ExpressionEngine updater:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setCurrentStatus() on null in /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/user/addons/publisher/ext.publisher.php:199 Stack trace: #0 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Extensions.php(221): Publisher_ext->sessions_start(Object(EE_Session)) #1 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Extensions.php(116): EE_Extensions->call_class('Publisher_ext', 'sessions_start', Array, Array) #2 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Session.php(121): EE_Extensions->call('sessions_start', Object(EE_Session)) #3 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/core/Loader.php(1034): EE_Session->__construct(Array) #4 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/core/Loader.php(949): EE_Loader->_ci_init_class('session', '', Array, NULL) #5 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/core/Loader.php(171): EE_Loader->_ci_load_class('Session', NULL, NULL) #6 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Core.php(293): EE_Loader->library('session') #7 in /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/user/addons/publisher/ext.publisher.php on line 199


Detailed steps to reproduce the issue:
1. updated all addons to latest version
2. updated ExpressionEngine to version 3.5.16
3. run the updater from 3.5.16 to 4.3.1

Try making this change… add the following to the ext file right before that error is thrown on line 199.

public function sessions_start()
    {
        if (session_id() === '' && REQ === 'CP') {
            @session_start();
        }

        // add this conditional
        if ($this->isUpdating()) {
            return;
        }
#2

BoldMinded (Brian)

Do you have custom member fields in your site?

#3

Burgi von Mengershausen

no custom member fields at all!

when i incorporate your code right before line 199 in ext.publisher.php

i get now

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘public’ (T_PUBLIC) in /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/user/addons/publisher/ext.publisher.php on line 199

#4

BoldMinded (Brian)

My code snippet was just the beginning of the function, don’t paste the whole thing in there, just add the “if ($this->isUpdating()) {” part.

#5

Burgi von Mengershausen

Did this now and now i get:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function isCurrentStatusDraft() on null in /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/user/addons/publisher/ext.publisher.php:257 Stack trace: #0 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Extensions.php(221): Publisher_ext->core_boot() #1 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/libraries/Extensions.php(116): EE_Extensions->call_class('Publisher_ext', 'core_boot', Array, Array) #2 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/legacy/core/Controller.php(90): EE_Extensions->call('core_boot') #3 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Core/Core.php(227): EE_Controller->__construct() #4 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Core/Core.php(109): EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Core\Core->runController(Array) #5 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Boot/boot.php(146): EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Core\Core->run(Object(EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Core\Request)) #6 /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/index.php(172): require_once('/kunden in /kunden/tannerhof.de/ee4/eeengine/user/addons/publisher/ext.publisher.php on line 257

BoldMinded (Brian)

Ok then, add it just after the core_boot() method too.

public function core_boot()
    {
        if ($this->isUpdating()) {
            return;
        }

BoldMinded (Brian)

This shouldn’t be happening. Have you tried setting ‘allow_extensions’ = ‘n’ in your config file before running the upgrade? Then changing it back?

$config['allow_extensions'] = 'n';
#9

BoldMinded (Brian)

Did disabling extensions work? I thought that was a recommended path in the EE upgrade docs too.

#10

Burgi von Mengershausen

no it did not work but it might not be because of publisher … working on it … keep you posted, thanks

#11

Burgi von Mengershausen

When i disable extensions with $config[‘allow_extensions’] = ‘n’;

i now get this error:

#12

Burgi von Mengershausen

but table “exp_channels_channel_field_groups” does not exist and has never existed … there is only “exp_field_groups” … very strange

#13

BoldMinded (Brian)

Did you start over from scratch after changing that config value or did you try to continue from where you left off? That error isn’t Publisher related, so I’m not sure what is happening.

#14

Burgi von Mengershausen

I did start over from scratch. Just opened a ticket at ExpressionEngine support.

#15

Burgi von Mengershausen

hi Brian,

It’s a bug on ExpressionEngines end … Robin worked it out. The problem only happens if you have these two config overrides set and then try to update to ee4:

$config[‘base_path’] = ‘value’; $config[‘base_url’] = ‘value’;

without them the update worked fine and publisher did not show up again.

Thanks Axel

#16

BoldMinded (Brian)

Sounds like an interesting bug. Glad it was found though. I’ll go ahead and close this ticket.
