Does not play ball with the link field plugin

[bleepsandblops]

With Pest activated, when creating a new link field, I get: Calling unknown method: lenz\linkfield\fields\LinkField::factoryTypeHint() in "__string_template__2feea56560234f273691feaa93ef7d61" at line 7

Is the craft-pest plugin installed in the Craft UI? There’s a behavior that provides that method in the plugin init and the only reason I can think it would go missing would be if the plugin is not enabled.

Related: I’m looking at having everything run without needing to install the plugin. But that’s still a PR away and not in a release yet.

I have the same issue, the two plugins are enabled. The registration of the behaviour is executed (I can dump something there before errors are thrown).

Full output:

./vendor/bin/pest --verbose

Ah, this is because the field doesn't call parent::behaviors() so EVENT_DEFINE_BEHAVIORS is never run.

Link field inherits from ForeignField which defines it's behaviors() as,

https://github.com/sebastian-lenz/craft-utils/blob/86403435fdfcab499edd1b363bafc46cf4c1fb4d/src/foreignField/ForeignField.php#L55-L61

Which overrides the default functionality of,

https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/ea55235e5a9677aa577f3a701dd4eaa04c2010b7/src/base/Model.php#L96-L107

This fix will be that ForeignField needs to call the parent in order to retain this behavior. I've opened a PR with a potential fix, https://github.com/sebastian-lenz/craft-utils/pull/4.

thx! 🙌

I'm going to close this issue since the root cause is not in craft-pest. Hopefully https://github.com/sebastian-lenz/craft-utils/pull/4 merges soon and resolves this! Feel free to jump over to that PR and submit bump the thread if you have more questions.
