Error when trying to install Custom Record Auto-numbering module.

The error is likely due to this line:

https://github.com/lsgs/redcap-record-autonumbering/blob/c5461a7f80583fbeffee03af8449257139453d8a/RecordAutonumber.php#L49

It's likely that in a recent version of REDCap, the EM framework has pulled further away from the usage of the global constant PROJECT_ID. Additionally, many standard REDCap things (like PROJECT_ID) may not be available during a handful of module-based tasks (i.e. enable, update, and the automated cron that validates EMs).

@lsgs you may want to consider pulling everything out of the constructor, into some initialization method, and only consume it when in project context.

Any solutions? If not, I would at least like to know if they are working on one. Thanks

I also have the same problem Redcap version 10.6.3, PHP 8.0.13, MySQL 8.0.28, Linux Centos 9 on a new test server

Do you have a solution or a workaround? When do you think you can put a new version to solve this issue ?

Many thanks

This is fixed with release v1.0.5.
