Exception thrown with Caching turned on about oembed

[reganlawton]

I COULD let craft 3 would I believe but we'd need to be Craft v3 but with PHP 8 and I don't even know off the top of my head if that's supported haha. It's abit annoying cos it's only a few changes in the plug-in that actually impacted but PHP 8 😩 maybe one day I can look into issue but most people are looking at Craft v4 now so there's that to consider

[reganlawton]

I've found this stupid bug and "fixed" it in v2.x, AKA PHP 8 version, by converting the Embed class that gets cached from a Class to JSON string and back to StdClass, I think this will be the way to go. It snapshots the object but solves the issue. Don't know WHY it started happening, probably from the core package I use, but I'm sorry this took so long to "figure out" I've just been so under the pump. This will be resolved tomorrow, it's currently 1:45am here in Melbourne, AU but turning cache off for now resolves it.

Just to summary the v1 branch will be updated and tagged with a new v1.x version 🍻

UPDATE: This appears to be related to the PHP version.
Works OK on PHP 7.4 but throws the error on PHP 8.1

[reganlawton]

THis should be resolved in the 2.0.0 release soon

Hi @reganlawton -

I'm seeing this error on PHP 8 and Craft 3 with version 2.0.0 1.3.15.

Is there any plan to fix on the Craft 3 release?

[reganlawton]

It's not possible 2.0.0 is branch for Craft v4 the composer.json shouldn't never let Craft v3 install cos the plug-in extended classes require PHP 8.0.2 minimum via Craft v4. This is why I set a MAJOR release and not a MINOR version. It's weird that your trying to install v2.0.0 if your using Craft v3 🤔

[reganlawton]

You should set the composer.json to ^1.3.0 or something to keep it too v1 which will be the future fixes for Craft v3

Thanks @reganlawton

Oh no, I'm still on 1.3.15 and wasn't trying to install 2.X (I had read the release number on the Github page, so my previous comment was wrong!), I only recently saw this error on PHP 8 and Craft 3.
I've probably had the bug a while but just not noticed it before, although thankfully it doesn't affect many pages. 😬

Ok sure thing 🙌
