PHP Warning: Undefined global variable $TSFE in RenderPreProcessorHook.php line 81

[StanislavSeifert]

Got "Undefined global variable $TSFE" warning in backend:

It look like that $GLOBALS['TSFE'] will be initialized after the "renderPreProcessorProc" hook.

Enviroment: TYPO3 Version: 11.5.17 Webserver: Apache/2.4.54 (Debian) PHP Version: 8.1.11 wapplersystems/ws_less: "^11.0"

Following patch will solve the problem:

Please update this extension.

Actually a fix exists (https://github.com/WapplerSystems/ws_less/commit/5493d624ef3005be7ef39b9fff9d9e71cd1c66cf) but it was only included in version 12, thus there is currently no version available working on typo3 11.

On Typo3 11.5.33 i just installed Version 11.0 nd instantly got the same Error (PHP Warning: Undefined global variable $TSFE)

Solution would be to make a Version 11.0.1 which has this fix.
