Deprecated function: explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($string) of type string is deprecated in Drupal\business_rules\Plugin\BusinessRulesVariable\ViewResultVariable->evaluate() (line 223 of modules/contrib/business_rules/src/Plugin/BusinessRulesVariable/ViewResultVariable.php).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a variable of type "View result variable" and configure it, leaving the arguments field empty.
  2. Create a routine that uses the variable created earlier.
  3. Run the routine created earlier.

Proposed resolution

If the result of the arguments is null, apply an empty string. Line to change.

    // Get settings.
    $defined_view    = $variable->getSettings('view');
    $view_fields     = $variable->getSettings('view_html');
    $args            = $variable->getSettings('arguments');
    $event_variables = $event->getArgument('variables');

to

    // Get settings.
    $defined_view    = $variable->getSettings('view');
    $view_fields     = $variable->getSettings('view_html');
    $args            = $variable->getSettings('arguments') ?? "";
    $event_variables = $event->getArgument('variables');
