I have noticed that while searching some Authors this error appears there too. A sample is attached
It comes with some of the authors…
Hope it may be helpful in diagnosing the issue? @asmecher @Vitaliy
Hi @Farhan_Abbas,
Try applying either of the commits linked from SearchHandler::authors() can encounter fatal error with unpublished publications · Issue #5793 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub. (They’re both equivalent, just attached to different branches.)

Thanks for your prompt reply but I do not understand what do you mean by applying the commit? Please let me know do I have to download any files???
Regards,
I applied the said changes but error is still there…
Hi @Farhan_Abbas,
Can you quote the exact error message (including stack trace) again, now that the change is in place?

Ok, Sure, Let me have the stack trace of the error…

Hi @Farhan_Abbas,
Hmm, this is tricky to test without a use case to work with locally. However, I think this will fix it:
https://github.com/pkp/ojs/commit/4f74c102d90b38c70785eb05dbd0d8f3c1383dea
Please confirm!

Yes, the above modification worked and there is not this error any more… just left with the “file_put_contents” problem which we are discussing on another thread…
Thanks a lot for your kind help…

Hello @asmecher,
The above issue has started to appear again and alongwith that, another error is appearing in the logs.

Greetings,
I am using OJS 3.1.1-4, PHP 7.2 and PostgreSQL.
I get a similar error when I try to schedule an article for publication:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getPublished() on null

I suspect the solution in my case might be different.
Talk soon,

Hi @jpcv222,
That’s a different issue; I suspect it arises from your database containing an entry in published_articles that refers to an issue_id that does not exist in the issues table. I’d suggest reviewing your database for that situation, and correcting it if you find one.

Hi, @asmecher
I already try SearchHandler::authors() can encounter fatal error with unpublished publications · Issue #5793 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub and pkp/pkp-lib#5793 Add check to ensure content is designated against an… · pkp/ojs@4f74c10 · GitHub, but the problem still exist.
And the file : f9cbad54bc17edf9cd863b38d6dce3361ce3799b^acf1fc671fe3149386beb488bd42d95154e9d6f3_0.app.frontendpagessearchAuthor.php I can’t found in the t_compile folder. Why this error still exist while the file is not there?
Thank you.
