Error in Frontend (page with powermail-form and autocomplete-attributes ) after flushing the system-cache of Typo3

[uli-d]

powermailautocomplete used with Typo3 12.4.26 and powermail 12.5.1
We included the extension as explained, but every time we clear the system-cache (red bolt in Backend) and reload a powermail-form in frontend, we get the following error; after reloading the page the autocomplete-attributes are missing.
Call to undefined method In2code\Powermail\Domain\Model\Field::getAutocompleteToken()
in /var/www/html/vendor/traw/powermailautocomplete/Classes/ViewHelpers/AutocompleteViewHelper.php line 56

Only after flushing Typo3 and php-cache in maintenance-module the attributes are back...??

Yes, I can reproduce this. I'll have a look

[thomasrawiel]

Which version of evoweb/extender is installed in your system?

[uli-d]

Thanks,
it's
extender | 10.1.1
in the extension manager.

And we don't need a solution before next week wednesday or later, so happy Easter!

I'll contact the author of EXT:extender, I think there might be a caching issue there or even in the TYPO3 core

[thomasrawiel]

Most likely a caching issue in EXT:extender, closing this issue. If you have more information or want to follow the issue, please refer to #42

Thanks; but does powermail really need ext extender to work? We need stable autocomplete-attributes on fields to meet the necessaries of accessibility guidelines...

[thomasrawiel]

Powermail itself doesn't need EXT:extender.

EXT:powermailautocomplete does:
It's used to extend some powermail models without having to XClass them, as there can be only one XCLASS per base class.

And it IS stable (if you don't feel the need to clear the system cache all the time :D )

There's also an old pull request in powermail which would make this extension and EXT:extender obsolete if you prefer to install that instead.

I was aware of #8 (I meant PR in powermail: in2code-de/powermail#1233) and would like to test the functionality now.

About powermailautocomplete:

And it IS stable (if you don't feel the need to clear the system cache all the time :D )

Is this problem in "extender" fixed and can I safely use this extension?

I am using TYPO3 v12 with composer, cache is usually cleared from the command line.

Thank you for your great work 😄

@sypets No, the problem still exists with EXT:extender. And I doubt it will be fixed in the very near future. See evoWeb/extender#42

However, powermailautocomplete and extender are safe to use IF you don't regularly clear the system cache via the backend. Only then the error will apear (and be fixed by clearing the cache via installtool or cli) Clearing the cache with CLI I never had this problem.
