Errors starting helium skeleton

Support Gantry
1

Hi,
I’ve installed and run grav with other themes with no apparent problem. I’ve then installed the Helium skeleton and I’m getting errors when trying to display the site, or when I try to recompile css from the grav admin / gantry page.
The error when trying to access the site is

“An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template (“Trying to access array offset on value of type null”).”

on this page:

/user/plugins/gantry5/engines/nucleus/templates/partials/page_head.html.twig

line 14:

{% do gantry.platform.finalize %}

This is on archlinux. The g5-helium directory is in owner [me] and group http throughout.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

@nfortier, Same error has been mentioned in earlier posts. Seems to be related to PHP 7.4. Downgrading to PHP 7.3 solved their issue.

See Breakage on PHP 7.4? (E_NOTICE - Trying to access array offset on value of type null)

Yes indeed. I installed the php73 package from the arch AUR and it’s working.
Thank you!

@nfortier, A bit more research on github tells me it should be fixed in Grav 1.6.23

  • Which Grav version are you using?
  • If not the latest 1.6.23, would you mind testing Grav 1.6.23 on PHP 7.4?

This is grav v1.6.23 (admin v1.9.13), I downloaded the helium skeleton yesteday. I confirm that the errors happen with php (7.4.5-1 in Arch) but not with php73 (7.3.17). I’m using php-fpm, and instead of a web server (for now) I’m using

$ php -S localhost:8000 system/router.php

When running error free that would be php73-fpm and php73 -S…

@nfortier, To rule out the role of the theme, does theme quark also fail on your configuration?

I don’t get errors with the grav-admin package (1.6.23) with Quark, or with the Gateway skeleton, so this seems to point to gantry. I’m running v5.4.32 / g5_helium.

@nfortier, It appears an issue about this error is already created on the Helium repo… It’s still open.

Thank you very much. I’ll keep an eye open for gantry updates.
