# Breaking: #74029 - Remove ModuleLoader->getRelativePath()

See [forge#74029](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/74029)

## Description

The method `ModuleLoader->getRelativePath()` has been removed. It was previously part when registering
traditional script-based modules, which did not use the new Icon API for the backend.

## Impact

Calling the method above directly will result in a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations

Any installation working with extensions that set up the ModuleLoader class and call the method `getRelativePath()` directly.

## Migration

Use `PathUtility::getRelativePath()` when the functionality is still needed.
