[mylifeafterthat]

Hi @fmalk

My legacy project use Codeigniter 2.2, i want to add some unit test, i need unit test for save my life hehe. so in my code i using third-party MX. but i dont have an idea why the third-party cant access global $CFG;

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function item() on null in /app/application/third_party/MX/Modules.php on line 8

please tell me how to fix this problem.

Thanks.

Third-party compatibility issues is outside scope, but post that Modules.php here and let's try to see if anything comes to my mind

[developermedia]

Here is "Modules.php"

<?php (defined('BASEPATH')) OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

(defined('EXT')) OR define('EXT', '.php');

global $CFG;

/* get module locations from config settings or use the default module location and offset */
is_array(Modules::$locations = $CFG->item('modules_locations')) OR Modules::$locations = array(
    APPPATH.'modules/' => '../modules/',
);

/* PHP5 spl_autoload */
spl_autoload_register('Modules::autoload');
