WP-CLI: Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError

Resolved

(@omegarobot)

Hi,

I update sites using WP-CLI wp plugin update --all and they’re failing with the following error message:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/stopbadbots/functions/functions.php:3990
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/stopbadbots/stopbadbots.php(1131): stopbadbots_block_httptools()

Tested on version 11.45 and 11.54.

Thanks

Hello,

You are welcome.
Line 3990 of the file functions.php is:

$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . ‘sbb_badips’;

and does not include the word count().

Please double-check the plugins dashboard to confirm if your version is 11.54.

If so, you need to reinstall the plugin because the files are damaged.

I should add that the plugin update process is entirely handled by WordPress, and we don’t play any role in that activity.
Regards,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Sorry for the confusion. I’m not entirely sure, but the Line 3990 error might be from version 11.45.
I updated the plugin to version 11.54 in WP Dashboard, then run the wp plugin update --all command again in Terminal — the error caught is now in Line 4253:
```
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/stopbadbots/functions/functions.php:4253
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/stopbadbots/stopbadbots.php(1134): stopbadbots_block_httptools()
```
I checked the mentioned line in functions.php and found the following:
```
    if (count($astopbadbots_http_tools) < 1) {
        return '';
    }
```
From what I understand, $astopbadbots_http_tools might be null and count() doesn’t like it, like mentioned in this example: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php#count.example.badexample

Hope that helps.

Thank you!
I just uploaded the version 11.55
Please, let me know if it works fine on your server.
