When running the upgrade check we are getting the following PHP error:

php tools/upgrade.php check
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant “SCHEMA_GALLEY” in /var/www/ojs-3.3.0-19/lib/pkp/includes/functions.inc.php:224

We are running PHP version 8.0.30.
Has anyone run into this error and can you gives us an solution to try?

Add the following line to the /var/www/ojs/tools/upgrade.php ****

import(‘lib.pkp.classes.services.PKPSchemaService’); // SCHEMA_ constants (towards the top of the file below the other import statements)

Thanks @wcollins, I will pass it along.

I can confirm this worked.

I can confirm this error. The key, I think, is that we’re upgrading with PHP 8 for the first time.

OJS 3.3.0.21
PHP 8.2.x

@Vitaliy fixed a similar error in 2020: Undefined const SCHEMA_PUBLICATION during upgrade · Issue #6000 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub.
Except in this instance the undefined constant is “SCHEMA_GALLEY” rather than “SCHEMA_PUBLICATION”. This latest error also affects upgrade, not only the check test. It seems to be effectively breaking upgrade with PHP 8.

Adding import('lib.pkp.classes.services.PKPSchemaService'); to tools/upgrade.php is a successful workaround, but is there a better upstream solution?

Thank you!

Hi @Richard-Higgins,

That’s a perfectly valid solution; would you mind opening a pull request to suggest the change in github?

Thanks,
