"TypeError: Return value of OCA\Files_FullTextSearch\Model\MountPoint::isGlobal() must be of the type bool"

[angcar]

Dear support & community,

We have the full file indexing plugins along with ElasticSearch but it has stopped working properly.

Initially, the elasticsearch and nextcloud-fulltext-elasticsearch-worker services were down, I pulled them up and it was still not working.

The next task I did was to reset the indexes, as this had worked for me on a previous occasion:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:stop
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:reset
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:index

But I received the following error:

An unhandled exception has been thrown:
TypeError: Return value of OCA\Files_FullTextSearch\Model\MountPoint::isGlobal() must be of the type bool, null returned in /var/www/nextcloud/apps/files_fulltextsearch/lib/Model/MountPoint.php:103

Other tasks I performed:

• Generate new index.
• Reinstall plugins.
• Reinstall ElasticSearch 6.x

And here the versions i'm using:

• Nextcloud Server: 20.0.10
• Full text search: 20.0.1
• Full text search - Elasticsearch Platform: 20.0.1
• Full text search - Files: 20.0.3

Could anyone help me with this issue?

Best regards, Ángel.

I have the same issue on 21.0.2 and PHP 8.0.5 and with PHP 7.4.18 no joy either.

Hi, I've got php 7.4 also 👎

If I can find out anything else I will update this thread, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Best regards.

someone has a temp fix for this here. https://github.com/nextcloud/files_fulltextsearch/issues/125 good luck with it. i'm up and running again without this error now. (and per the error it is files_fulltextsearch not fulltextsearch_elasticsearch that is the problem.

[aviatorhh]

Yes, I have disabled the file_fulltextsearch before and had no error but that has not been the solution for sure. The temp fix you mentioned works for me. Many thanks! 👍🏻

Hi,

Very true, the error is from fulltextsearch; the temporary fix of commenting the line solves the problem. Thanks a lot!

Let's see if they publish something definitive.
