Creation of dynamic property Config\Cache::$file is deprecated - kabeza - 04-24-2023

Hi
I'm having some problems after upgrading PHP in a server
I'm getting an exception

Code:
Creation of dynamic property Config\Cache::$file is deprecated

I've also upgraded CodeIgniter and have followed all the corresponding upgrade guide's steps from 4.2.10 up to 4.3.3

Any advise? Thanks

Also read this post for a temporary solution:

Just realized now that it’s an error in a system file so my above posts might not help you.

it looks like your on Linux

Code:
rm -rf   vendor

So you removed dir vendor and contents. I don't do that when i update ; out of interest t what was the thinking behind doing that ?

But the depreciated from my cursory look seems to be that classes have to have all properties defined.

so i think that exception might be to do with: https://php.watch/versions/8.2/dynamic-properties-deprecated

Fixing that error is very easy. Just add the property in the class.

But I don't know why your Config\Cache does not have the $file.

removing vendor and reinstalling; upgrading composer; etc. were listed as steps for upgrading from 4.2.10 to 4.3.3

Yes, I knew that I could solve by adding the property in the class, but also wonder why that class doesn't have the property (even after upgraded)

`composer update` does not change any your project files. It only updates files under vendor/.
If you created your app with older version of CI4, the config file may not have the property..

Yes
I had to do a similar stuff.
I've downloaded a new appStarter project, then moved controllers, models, libraries, views, etc. from old application

If you don't want to update your project files manually, Tatter\Patches does it automatically.
