Unsupported operand types: int * string in /var/www/html/custom_apps/maps/vendor/lsolesen/pel/src/PelIfd.php:447

[GHJester]

Hi all,

Nextcloud is running in a docker container on my host. Recently I updated to version 22.1.1. Maps is running with version 0.1.9. Today I checked for another update and have seen that the last cron job execution was 6 days ago, even though I configured to run every 5 minutes.
When I execute the cron job manually by executing docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php cron.php, I get the following error output:

TypeError: Unsupported operand types: int * string in /var/www/html/custom_apps/maps/vendor/lsolesen/pel/src/PelIfd.php:447

1. This seems for me to be related to A non-numeric value encountered at /var/www/nextcloud/apps/maps/vendor/lsolesen/pel/src/PelIfd.php#447 pel/pel#156. But this issue is already fixed.
2. As far as I understood Nexcloud 22.1.1 has been upgraded to use PHP 8. This explains the different message Unsupported operand types: int * string
3. I think I need to mention that I uploaded a bulk of very old photos to my Nextcloud instance a few days ago. It is very likely that one of them caused that issue. But I don't have any clue how to figure out. But as 1. has been fixed in 2020 I assume that Maps is still using an old version of pel!?

Do you have an idea how to fix or is there something I can change?

Cheers

I changed line 447 and casted the return value from getSize() to int

$s = (int) PelFormat::getSize($format) * $components;

[GHJester]

@klaHoadl thx for your help. In the meantime I upgraded to 22.2.0 and the error is gone (for what reason ever). But is seems like that now everything is messed up. In the past I have seen the photo locations on the map, but now I don't see a single photo and its location on the world map anymore.

EDIT: wow, now, after the proposed fix, the photos are displayed and back to normal. thx for your support! :)

[Niemand112233]

There is also an error in line 611.

Edit: Update of PHP 8.0 seemed to solve the error

[GHJester]

Something is still weird. There are only around 900 photos displayed, though I have more than 10.000. This definitely needs a fix...

[elearningdienst]

Same problem here with PHP 8.0.12 and Nextcloud 22.2.2 (map version 0.1.9).

[arthurlt]

I'm having a similar issue running Nextcloud's Docker build.

PHP 8.0.13
Nextcloud 22.2.3
Maps 0.1.9

[citramon]

I have a similar issue.

Docker build.
PHP 8.0.12
Nextcloud 22.2.0
Maps 0.1.9.

I think the problem in other package with same types of files.
I fix it in this file:

                case PelTag::CANON_CUSTOM_FUNCTIONS:
                    //TODO
                case (256 || 512 || 768):
                    break;
                    //SKIP BECAUSE EXCEPTION
                default:

The idea is skip files which rise exception 🤷‍♂️

[spalinger]

Uninstalling the App Maps and installing it again helped, I don't see a blocked cron job or the error anymore for the last 24 hours since doing that.
NC 23.0.0, not on Docker.

[GHJester]

@spalinger yes, I don't see the error message anymore. I don't know why. But what I'm facing now is that a lot of pictures are not displayed anymore. I only see around 1k pictures out of more than 10K on the map

[umgfoin]

This is a problem in dependency PEL:
Currently version 0.9.7 is pulled in. PEL-version 0.9.10 fixes some but not all of the problems.
@mondrake's PR seems to work well with NC23 & PHP8.0, but it hasn't been merged, yet.
