After months of delay, I am pleased to announce the implementation of email newsletters at Wasya.Co and Piousbox.com

I have seen this error, which has prevented cron runs for over a month.

You'd have to resolve the underlying error by running the cron from drush and fixing whatever problem it reports:

./vendor/bin/drush core:cron

Note that not have the base_url set is NOT a problem, you don't need to set it in Drupal 8 9 or 10, and you can run it via drush like so:

[FIXED]: Drupal 9 Error: Call to a member function transformDimensions() on null in template_preprocess_image_style() (line 263 of core/modules/image/ image.module)

...of course this took longer than anticipated, but I have achieved this milestone, writing and executing a complete functional test in Drupal. It was not an easy, trivial test - and the path I took in implementing it highlights the gotchas and difficulty of writing such tests. As well, my process is likely not be unique, and the challenges I faced appear common. It there appears valuable for me to put down a quick writeup on quirks and tricks I saw along the way. In this article, I assume the reader is an intermediate Drupal developer.

Turns out, our client needs to have Client authentication enabled:

then you will have a new tab credentials where you will see the client secret.

The issue stems from the preview being in an undefined style.

After taking these steps, the page for adding/editing this content type should render correctly.

An easier example is to set the default title first:

Handling configuration settings in custom modules involves using the Configuration API provided by Drupal. This API allows you to define, manage, and access configuration settings in a structured and consistent way. Here’s how I approach it and an example of using the Configuration API in Drupal 10/11:

Using the Configuration API

I have the following list of extensions that I usually permit in drupal attachments:

  txt pdf doc docx html csv xlsx xlsm sh json
  cer pem pub key
  png jpg jpeg gif
  mkv sfv avi mp3 mp4 webm mov
  zip tar gz

Fixing this took me years... I can't believe how long it took. The answers on stack overflow did not help.

The error was due to a mismatching php configuration for running in the shell ( /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini ) and in apache (/etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini ).

Specifically, I had to enable short tags for the shell:
