Cron in smart_date_recur not working due to property_exists

Problem/Motivation

In smart_date_recur_cron there is the following code block:

  $ids = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('smart_date_rule')->getRuleIdsToCheck();
  foreach (SmartDateRule::loadMultiple($ids) as $rule) {
    if (!is_object($rule) || !property_exists($rule, 'entity_type')) {
      continue;
    }

As $rule is a content entity of type SmartDateRule, the property_exists will always return FALSE, and as a result, the array $to_process will always remain empty.

Proposed resolution

if (!is_object($rule) || !property_exists($rule, 'entity_type')) { should be replaced by this:

if (!($rule instanceof SmartDateRule) || !$rule->hasField('entity_type')) {

Happy to provide an MR, if the approach is correct and I haven't missed anything?

    Here's a patch that should fix the logic.

    This does the job. I'm just uncertain why that if-statement is even required in the first place. SmartDateRule::loadMultiple($ids) never returns anything other than a list of SmartDateRule entities. So why checking?

    However, if there's a reason that I don't see, as for the purpose of this issue, this patch fixes it and is RTBC.

    The check was added in #3281805: smart_date_recur_cron() - runs into an error β†’ to resolve an error that creating problems during cron runs. I never actually uncovered the source of the error, but validating that the necessary data is available seems reasonable enough.

    Thanks for the quick feedback, merged in these changes.

    Thanks for fixing this. The data check was probably necessary if the format of the entity changed some time back. Never mind, should be OK now.

  • Since the previous queue wasn't working properly, you might be in a situation where the next queue is scheduled to run in 7 days time, which means that a manual reset might be required in order to process them as soon as possible:

    drush php-eval '\Drupal::state()->set("smart_date_recur_check", 0);'
