Summary

This fixes this specific exception that can happen with whatever PHP version in some pages:

Call to phutil_nonempty_string() expected null or a string, got: PhutilURI from PHUIObjectItemView.php:662

The regression was introduced since:

b56d86e48d0f63028cb5739c179d61ece2a24bb1

The problem is caused by the fact that we are trying to introduce very strict checks, and sometime we are too much strict.

In this specific case we use phutil_nonempty_stringlike() since it also allows objects with a __toString() method.

In order not to leave these cases to chance, we have added a log line, which can be removed in the future.

If you see this log line, report it in the respective Task. Thank you!

Closes T15306
Ref T15316

Sorry for introducing that. I can confirm the above change also fixes rendering of http://phorge.localhost/herald/create/

Using phutil_nonempty_string instead of phutil_nonempty_stringlike triggers Call to phutil_nonempty_string() expected null or a string, got: PhutilURI.

No problem my friend, thanks for your patches and please don't stop. The stricter general approach is very OK.

Hi @Matthew ... unbreak now patch here :D

Sorry if you are on vacation.

To explain this minimal fix: it seems this->href is not always a string, but it can be an object that can be converted to string ("string like"). So the previous check was too much strict.

Again in short:

  • Before: classes with a __toString() not allowed
  • After: allowed again (just like before, with strlen())

Oh yes, thanks!

Hoping to be useful I've also added some minor PHPDoc and also a little hint to reach people and collect their logs somewhere (here → T15316)

This allows to receive also objects with a __toString() instead of being very string and only accepting native strings.

Rather then having throw-try-catch-log-ignore, just phlog the exception here and don't throw anything.

You'll need to change the name of the method accordingly.

I understand (really: my previous diff version was exactly that) but I then examined Phorge and I was not able to find 1 usage of "phlog(new Exception". So I don't think we should introduce this approach today here. I think it was more a debugging trick than something that Evan would recommend.

There are lot of "assertSomething" instead with catch.

Even if the previous diff (whith your tip) is shorter, this is probably still "more OK".

Sharing this, last word to you

avivey added inline comments.May 6 2023, 11:25

Yes, it's not happening anywhere, but neither is "throw-catch-log", which is obviously worse (less obvious intention).

I'm also not clear why you'd want the exception anyway - phlog already adds the complete trace of where it happened.

valerio.bozzolan added inline comments.May 6 2023, 11:27
src/view/phui/PHUIObjectItemView.php
949

OK I will rewrite this method, thanks

Premising that phlog() does not share the stack trace in the log without an exception: it only shares the log line without context. The stack trace is shared only if the user knows how to enable DarkConsole, if it was enabled, and if the user knows how to reproduce that problem to trigger it again and catch the stack trace.

yes, that's fine. I wouldn't expect anyone who isn't actively working on phorge to check the server logs for problems to report.

Would you love to remove the shared stack trace, and just use phlog()?
