Fixed More detailed error message

[lori19]

Hi all!

Not a big thing, but maybe it's easy to address: I just got the following error message when saving:

An error has occurred with a eval'd field - please inform the web-site owner. Debug: Caught exception on eval in validation condition : Since joomla/database 2.2.0: The parameter $new is deprecated and will be removed in 4.0, use Joomla\Database\DatabaseDriver::createQuery() instead.

Unfortunately, it does not say which element has an error in its validation. So, I had to go through all my elements that have a validation to find the right one. Would it be possible to add this information?

Kindly,
Lorenz

components\com_fabrik\models\validation_rule.php line 156

FabrikWorker::logEval($res, 'Caught exception in elementID ' . $this->elementModel->element->id . ' on eval in ' . $this->pluginName . ' validation condition : %s');

That may or may not point to the offending code. Prior to calling your eval code, Fabrik clears all previous errors/warnings, so for the most part a warning here would be in your code. However, I have seen cases where this was not so, depending on what you wee doing in your code. You may be making a completely unrelated function call that generated the error.

Just desk check your own code well and it if looks OK ignore these warnings. And of course turning off debug and setting your error level to simple or none will eliminate them.

I didn't change anything on the error message workflow, only added the elementID and validation type to the existing message string.

Thanks! I usually try to eliminate those deprecated messages as I encounter them. Somewhere down the line they could become"real" errors. If I remove them now, I don't have to do tit later. Here it was a getQuery instead of an createQuery

I have seen this type of error too:

FixSometime - Some deprecated messages on J!5.1.1

Hi, I came across some messages: 1) in the backend on all lists - Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Joomla\CMS\Form\Form::$model is deprecated in ..../administrator/components/com_fabrik/models/list.php on line 127 on list plugins tab: same, on line 158 after adding a plugin: same on...

fabrikar.com

It looks like it cannot really be fixed at the moment.
I (or rather ChatGPT ) created a workaround by storing a prepared statement in the database and bypassing the Joomla database driver, but that's hardly worth the effort.

So now in J!5.2 createQuery() is ok?

Following the thread @EricWebsite just mentioned in J!5.1 it didn't help, createQuery() was throwing a deprecated itself.

We could always add a version_compare test on the J! version and call the appropriate one. We had to do this with the database drive for a while and now with the getUser function.
