Argument 8 passed to OC\Core\Avatar\AvatarController::__construct() must be an instance of OCP\Files\Folder, null given

[sbryf]

Hi there,

I am getting the following error in the log:

Argument 8 passed to OC\Core\Avatar\AvatarController::__construct() must be an instance of OCP\Files\Folder, null given, called in /core/application.php on line 90 and defined at /core/avatar/avatarcontroller.php#86

OwnCloud 8.2.3
Encryption on
Shared webhoster
PHP 5.5.28

Any idea how to fix that? Seems to be related to $c->query('UserFolder'), right?

Thanks.

Can you please fill out the whole issue template? Thanks a lot.

Yes but I don't see how that would break all of a sudden.

@sbryf can you fill out the whole issue template?

This happens if an avatar is requested when no user is logged in afaik

[PVince81]

Is this still happening ?

[sergeyun]

yes its still happening for owncloud 9.1.4

[PVince81]

Can someone enable XDebug and try again ? This should give a full stack trace in the logs which should help pinpoint the more precise code path leading to this error.

Does it happen for a specific user / specific avatar ? Or all users ?

[ghost]

@PVince81 Noticed the same here today on 9.1.4. My owncloud.log seems to contain way more details, is that enough to debug this further (don't want to install and enable XDebug on my productive machine).

Calling the avatar directly (e.g. http://example.com/avatar/User/32) doesn't show this issue so not quite sure how to reproduce this.

In general it looks like it might be trying to use the avatar folder and for some reason it doesn't exist.
Is your data folder inside of ownCloud or outside ?

If outside, maybe the setupFS code didn't mount the user's home yet properly so the avatar code doesn't work in this specific code path.

[ghost]

My data folder is located within the ownCloud installation folder /var/www/owncloud/data

[PVince81]

How often does this happen ? Does it happen for a specific user ?

[PVince81]

closing due to lack of feedback.

It is possible that it was due to a lowercase vs uppercase avatar name, which is a known issue that has been fixed in #26398

[darootler]

Can anyone repoen this ticket and describe what information is needed? See also nextcloud/polls#251

But also, if everyone could use the issue template for their own posts, it would help cross-reference some potential environment issues

[darootler]

Like described in nextcloud/polls#251 this error happens every time i access the newly created poll.

@darootler See the comment in #23158 (comment) which explains what information is missing.

[PVince81]

Can someone try on 10.0.4 and debug this ?

[darootler]

I think all the needed information is here --> nextcloud/polls#251

If not, please just tell me what information is needed in detail.
