TypeError after updating from version 2.2.1 to 4.1.0

[Boa2]

After updating fp_newsletter from 2.2.1 to 4.1.0 I get the following error on the subscription page:

(1/1) TypeError Argument 1 passed to Fixpunkt\FpNewsletter\Utility\HelpersUtility::getGenders() must be of the type boolean, null given, called in /xxx/typo3conf/ext/fp_newsletter/Classes/Controller/LogController.php on line 122

The site is using Typo3 version 10.4.23 at the moment. I am going to update to Typo3 10.4.36 after the extension updates.

Any idea regarding the TypeError?

I think you just must clean all caches. The setting preferXlfFile is undefined before cleaning the cache. Second option is to use this TypoScript: plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.preferXlfFile = 0

Hi Bihor, unfortunately adding "plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.preferXlfFile = 0" was not successful. But the error message changed to:

Core: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: Argument 2 passed to Fixpunkt\FpNewsletter\Utility\HelpersUtility::getGenders() must be of the type array, null given, called in /xxx/typo3conf/ext/fp_newsletter/Classes/Controller/LogController.php on line 122 | TypeError thrown in file /xxx/typo3conf/ext/fp_newsletter/Classes/Utility/HelpersUtility.php in line 153

I've cleaned the cache via "Flush all caches" and via Maintenance/Flush TYPO3 and PHP Cache.

Well, are you including the TypoScript settings of fp_newsletter? What does your TypoScript Object Browser shows you? Is this missing?

plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.gender {
  please = Bitte auswählen
  mr = Herr
  mrs = Frau
  divers = Divers
}

Maybe comes the error only for other languages than the default language? Then you must set the foreign values like this:

  [siteLanguage("languageId") == "1"]
  plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.company = Your company
  plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.gender.please = Please select your gender
  plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.gender.mr = Mr.
  plugin.tx_fpnewsletter.settings.gender.mrs = Mrs.
  [END]

Thank you so much. I forgot to include the TypoScript settings of fp_newsletter. Now it works like expected.

Thanks, Andrea
