Argument #1 ($form_settings) must be of type array, null given

I can't reproduce this. Tried with Drupal 9.5 and Drupal 10.1 on simplytest.me. The Honeypot module also has automated tests which are constantly running on drupal.org; one of these tests installs Honeypot and visits the config page, and does not cause an error.

The honeypot.settings config object is initialized upon install, and form_settings is declared and initialized as an array with contents.

honeypot.settings.form_settings should never be NULL or anything other than an array.

Regardless, if it is being set to NULL somewhere, then that's what should be fixed. It is wrong to just test to see if it's an array and set it to an empty array if not. Perhaps your install is setting values for the honeypot.settings object - this might be done in an install profile, or in another module that uses Honeypot, for example. Or if you are installing the site from config, then your config could have wrong values.

My apologies for the delay in responding. Your patience is appreciated.

Yes, you are right about the issue. The module installation was not properly done on that moment (might be some other issues) and after that I was facing that error. Later I thought that if it has occurred then it should be handled and hence I created this issue.

Please close this if it should.

Hi,
I just have a similar issue with D10.3.1
The module was installed with composer require drupal/honeypot.
Go to the config page and received this error:
The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.

Thank for this module!

I am getting the error when installed on D11.07 and using version 2.2. Using drush cr doesn't seem to help.
