Overview

Fix for https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/5533

Before

  • throw an error when trying to take an action on an entity we dont recognise
  • making api calls for entities that dont exist (yet) always throw an error
  • calling an api provided by an extension in that extension's own installer crashes

After

  • dont throw the error
  • some api actions will still work, even when the entity doesn't exist yet
  • others will fail in diverse ways (e.g. getting DAOEntities gives a cryptic mysql error)
  • others might not definitely fail, but could behave unexpected ways?

Comments

It doesn't feel great to me to allow this, as I think it might cause some strange bugs. But it is the pre-existing behaviour.

Maybe going forward we could add a flag on a given API action class that allows you to bypass this check. Then in @eileenmcnaughton 's example, the required WMFConfig 's could opt out of the check. But in general we'll catch weird edge cases before they become a problem.

Adding run-standalone to check the original regression in the upgrader doesn't regress again.
