"Error: get_class() expects parameter 1 to be object, string given"

[gertvs]

I installed the plugin following the instructions, activated it. It displays correctly but any php code I execute, even the simplest results in:
"Error: get_class() expects parameter 1 to be object, string given"
Any hits as to what could be wrong? Anything I can do to debug this error?
Here's my environment info:

Wordpress version: 3.2.1
wordpress-console version: 0.3.7
Server version: Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) built: Nov 7 2011 22:48:05
PHP version: 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Oct 13 2011 23:19:13)

Hmm I've never seen this one before. The only place the plugin calls get_class is in the parse function. Can you try isolating a call to that function to see if you get the same error?

To do this, drop a test.php file in the plugin's root directory that looks something like this:

<?php
require("common.php");
parse( "echo 'test';");
?>

Then run it from the command line by doing php test.php.

Let me know what happens. Thanks.

Hi Jerod,

Thanks for your suggestions.
I ran the test you suggested. Same result. Anything that I type, apart
from the help commands, results in the same message:

"Error: get_class() expects parameter 1 to be object, string given"

I also installed wordpress and the console plugin on a Windows 7 system.
There the console activates and is present in the left side Dashboard
menu, but even fails to draw the black console background. Everything
stays white except for the [WordPress Console: "?" for help menu] title.
There is no black box and no command line.

Since both are fresh installs on completely different platforms, could
it be that the latest wordpress version breaks the plugin?

I can give you access to either or both of these systems if that would help.

Thanks again,

Gert

The Windows machine may have the problem described in issue #6.

For your Linux box: there are 3 lines in common.php that call get_class, and they're all in the case that a method being called doesn't exist. Could you try adding a print statement before each of the throw clauses that use this method and output the $object and $method` that does not exist?

That might help us track it down. Thanks.

Hi Jerod,

Sorry for the delay. Xmas and things.

I did as you suggested:

                if (!method_exists($object, $method)) {
        printf("Variable %s doesn't have a method\
        named '%s'", $objname, $method);
                    throw new Exception(sprintf("Variable %s \
        (Class '%s') doesn't have a method named '%s'",
                        $objname, get_class($object), $method));
                }

But the behaviour is exactly the same and don't see any debug output.

I installed the same plugin on our hosted web site too and there it
works as expected. It seems that my Ubuntu server has some unsatisfied
PHP dependencies, although I have no idea which.

If you want me to do some more tests please let me know.

Thanks.

Gert
