Brand new clean install of 9.1.8.
First thing I do is create a new theme in themes/custom/
I create the ...
themename.info.yml
and
themename.libraries.yml
Files.
name: themename
type: theme
description:
core: 8.x
core_version_requirement: ^8 || ^9
# Defines the base theme
base theme: stark
# Defines libraries group in which we can add css/js.
libraries:
- themename/global-styling
- themename/global-scripts
When I go to /admin/appearance I get a white screen error with this error.
InvalidArgumentException: $string ("") must be a string. in Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\TranslatableMarkup->__construct() (line 132 of /app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/StringTranslation/TranslatableMarkup.php).
I left the "description" blank, cause... I didn't think I needed it.
I sorta deduced what the problem is, and added some characters so it had SOMETHING in the Description, and the problem went away.
I think this should not have a fatal error... or at least give you some better directions. I can see entry level theme builders throwing up their hands pretty quickly with a white screen error and they don't know how to turn on verbose error messages.
See above.
Friendlier error messages, or allow for the Description field to be blank.

The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
🐛 WSOD on admin/modules if description is set but is NULL in module.info.yml Fixed was fixed with a generic solution that fixes this too.
Feel free to re-open this if you think there is something we still need to address here.
Thanks!
