Deprecation: #82438 - Deprecation methods¶

Description¶

The deprecation log related methods from GeneralUtility along with a related configuration option have been deprecated:

• GeneralUtility::logDeprecatedFunction()
• GeneralUtility::deprecationLog()
• GeneralUtility::getDeprecationLogFileName()
• GeneralUtility::logDeprecatedViewHelperAttribute()
• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['enableDeprecationLog'] has no effect anymore

Deprecations now use PHP method trigger_error('a message', E_USER_DEPRECATED) and run through the logging and exception stack of the TYPO3 core. In development context deprecations are turned into exceptions by default and ignored in production context.

Impact¶

The file typo3conf/deprecation_xy.log is no longer filled by the core. However, if an extension still uses methods like GeneralUtility::logDeprecatedFunction() it is still filled with these messages, and throws an additional PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED message.

Affected Installations¶

Installations with extensions that use one of the above methods.

Migration¶

Extension authors should switch to trigger_error('A useful message', E_USER_DEPRECATED);
