Now at home, on macbook laptop - so third mac in total that can replicate this - watch video: http://screenshot.myjoom.la/3J3v2C3Q1c2G

Note that in shooting this video on the VERY FIRST page load it gave this error which I had not seen before, normally it shows up intermittently on refresh.

I can reproduce it, but it is random/sporadic when it happens.

hmm can someone enable XDebug and check where the error is raised? I can not reproduce that issue on my side.

PhilETaylor - comment - 15 Mar 2018

In bed but yes it might have been during the time I was demoing xdebug to @rouenollivier

Will test again tomorrow with and without xdebug

Yes that could show us the place where the sql call is made so we can try to uneerstand why it is failing there :-)

I was unable to replicate it on the iMac (my oldest iMac - PHP Version 7.1.14 Built-in HTTP server) at home with or without xdebug

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies

Just going to get the laptop from the car and I'll try that again :(

@PhilETaylor did you got a chance to test this on the laptop from the car?

avatar PhilETaylor
PhilETaylor - comment - 25 Mar 2018

I did and was unable to replicate it then or again last night on the laptop - with or without xdebug... its crazy but as this thread states im not the only one who could replicate it.

Thanks @PhilETaylor

@Quy & @maliknaik16 can you try to reproduce this again? And tell us what you did on the latest code? If this is still a issue I need to know how to debug it ;)

Just tried here in the office on the computer (iMac) that started this thread, and I cannot replicate with

  • PHP 7.2.3 CLI and with/without xdebug/opcache
  • PHP 7.1.10 CLI and with/without xdebug/opcache
  • PHP 5.6.33 with no xdebug

This is a really really strange bug...

I'll check with @rouenollivier on Monday morning - her mac doesnt get as updated as often as mine, I run bleeding edge versions of most services.
