Problem/Motivation

You may get the following error if you are trying to do a remote post to an unreachable endpoint.

TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Drupal\webform\Plugin\WebformHandler\RemotePostWebformHandler::getResponseData() must be an instance of Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface, null given

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new webform or edit an existing one.
2. Go to Settings > Emails / Handlers
3. Add new handler "Remote Post"
4. Fill out required fields in "General" tab
5. In the remote post url use http://serverdown.ouch/crazy-endpoint (to simulate an unreachable endpoint).
6. Save the handler.
7. Perform a test submission
8. You will see the error described above.

Proposed resolution

  • Add extra checks to handle the situation of having a NULL response from the remote post request
  • Addition of a new option in the Response status code select list (under the Custom response messages section)
  • Avoid calling to functions where the $response variable is required, for example in the getResponseData function

User interface changes

Add a new option 444 No Response into the Response status code select list under the Custom response messages section.

API changes

None.
