Description:

There is a conflict with Publisher and the new EE Consent module. The error message is:

Exception Caught
No such property: 'session' on EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Legacy\Facade
Facade.php:119

The exception is occurring, because Publisher is setting cookies before the EE session service is fully constructed.

I have traced the error and have reduced the backtrace to the following key lines:
1. EE_Core::run_ee() (line 293) loads the ‘session’ library
2. EE_Session::__construct() (line 121) triggers the ‘session_start’ hook
3. Publisher_ext::sessions_start() (line 227) calls start() on the Publisher session service
4. BoldMinded\Publisher\Service\Session::start() (line 268) calls update() on the Publisher tracker service
5. BoldMinded\Publisher\Service\Url\Tracker::setTrackerCookie() (line 219) called by the update() method, tries to set a cookie with the EE input service
6. EE_Input::cookieIsAllowed() (line 270) called by set cookie, when ‘require_cookie_consent’ is enabled, calls hasGranted() on the EE consent service
7. system/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/app.setup.php (line 338) when initializing the EE consent service, tries to access the EE session service

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Install Publisher
2. Add $config[‘require_cookie_consent’] = ‘y’; to system/user/config/config.php
3. Reload the page

My thoughts are to either make ‘publisher_tracker’ a necessary cookie (easiest fix and what I have done for now, but not really in the spirit of cookie consent), or to move updating the tracker to the ‘core_boot’ hook (after the EE session service is fully initialized).
