Feature: The upgrade check reports sets TYPO3 cannot provide
Description
The configuration group of
academic: reports a site that
depends on a set of an academic extension TYPO3 cannot provide:
| Finding | Meaning | Severity |
|---|---|---|
unavailable- | A site depends on a set of an academic extension that is not installed, that a release removed or that is invalid, or on a set of its own - a site package set, typically - that depends on one, directly or further down. | error |
Configuration
x unavailable-set site:main
The site "main" depends on "acme/site-package", which needs
"fgtclb/academic-programs-content-load" - directly or through another set. TYPO3 cannot
provide "fgtclb/academic-programs-content-load": no active extension ships a valid set of
that name. TYPO3 answers every page of the site with HTTP 500 ("depends on unavailable sets")
until the dependency is removed or the set is available again. 3.0 removed it: program pages
render the content of their main column without it. Remove the dependency from the site
configuration and from every set of the site package.
For a set a release removed, the message says what replaced it. So far these
are the three content-load sets 3.0 removed, fgtclb/,
fgtclb/ and
fgtclb/ - see
Breaking- in the 3.0 changelogs of
EXT:,
EXT: and
EXT:.
Impact
Unlike most findings of the group, this one is not silent in TYPO3: the site answers every frontend request with HTTP 500. It is reported anyway, and as an error, because the command runs before an upgraded installation goes live - the site only fails once it does.
An alias set whose extension is not installed is reported as
unavailable- rather than as
alias-: it does not deliver.
A set of another vendor that misses a set of another vendor is not reported; the backend module Sites (Sites > Setup on TYPO3 v14) lists every invalid set.
