Details

Summary

strlen() was used in Phabricator to check if a generic value is a non-empty string.
This behavior is deprecated since PHP 8.1. Phorge adopts phutil_nonempty_string() as a replacement.

Note: this may highlight other absurd input values that might be worth correcting
instead of just ignoring. If phutil_nonempty_string() throws an exception in your
instance, report it to Phorge to evaluate and fix that specific corner case.

EXCEPTION: (RuntimeException) strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated at [<arcanist>/src/error/PhutilErrorHandler.php:261]
arcanist(head=master, ref.master=97e163187418), phorge(head=diffusionCallsignHistory, ref.master=9b99123ff931, ref.diffusionCallsignHistory=9b99123ff931)
  #0 <#2> PhutilErrorHandler::handleError(integer, string, string, integer) called at [<phorge>/src/applications/repository/xaction/PhabricatorRepositoryCallsignTransaction.php:28]

Closes T15465

Test Plan

After applying this change, /diffusion/XYZ/manage/history/ renders correctly and shows user set the callsign for this repository to XYZ.

Similar here it seems the values might not always be strings so should be null-check, and both old and new should be checked

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Jun 12 2023, 01:24

Use null checks instead of phutil_nonempty_string

Do you think this also requires the strlen() check?

You mean checking that strlen !== 0? I don't think it's needed here
