Warning when using shortcode on frontpage

[dasistwas]

I am on Moodle 4.1 and am using a shortcode on the frontpage. There is this message popping up.

Subplugin type "workshopallocation" should define class "\mod_workshop\plugininfo\workshopallocation"

Somehow it looks like workshopallocation is considered as a subplugin, but there is only these subplugins: workshopallocation_manual workshopallocation_random workshopallocation_scheduled

This message only appears immediately after "Purge caches" is being done. Otherwise the code is not executed.

Hi @dasistwas,

That's rather odd. The error seems to indicate that Moodle in unable to locate the class in the file mod/workshop/plugininfo/workshopallocation, which is triggered by core itself. As you stated, this is solved once the cache have reset, which leaves us wondering whether shortcodes is creating an odd circular dependencing causing classes to be unknown at that particular moment.

We will look into it, thank you!
