Question cron job runner issue

[wmtech]

We use a job runner, triggered by cron and not the usual one where the visitor object is available.

Is it possible to adapt your cron jobs to not require a visitor/user when they run? It would prevent such errors, we get sometimes when jobs are running:

In XF.php line 473:

Argument 1 passed to XF::asVisitor() must be an instance of XF\Entity\User,  null given, called in /src/addons/DBTech/eCommerce/Repository/License.php on line 408

Thanks!

Without the full stack trace I cannot assist you.

 

[wmtech]

Sorry, there is no stack trace, because there is no error in server log. This is just the message returned by the job runner via cron.

I will try to get more information when the error triggers again.

Thanks.

Now we have a stack trace, starting from the triggered runDailyCleanUp cron .

I've also checked our database. There are no licenses without a valid user_id. All have been imported from Xen Product Manager.

This means there's a license whose user record cannot be found. You may be able to find out which license(s) are affected by running this query:

SELECT * FROM xf_dbtech_ecommerce_license AS license
LEFT JOIN xf_user AS user USING(user_id)
WHERE user.user_id IS NULL

This means there's a license whose user record cannot be found. You may be able to find out which license(s) are affected by running this query:

Thanks. There really are some licenses with non existing users. I would have expected such licenses would be automatically deleted if the user is deleted.

Can I simply delete those licenses in the database, because deleting them from acp is not possible either?

 

[Fillip H.]

You can, yes. Licenses are deleted when users are deleted, this is likely due to imported licenses for users that are not longer valid.
