Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.If a referenced media item goes missing for any reason, a PHP fatal error is encountered when rendering the page.
This happens in \Drupal\entity_browser_block\Plugin\Block\EntityBrowserBlock::build when looping over $entities.
An easy fix will be to check for emptiness first thing in that loop. A very helpful addition would be to prevent the deleting of referenced entities.

nadavoid commentedThis patch checks at the beginning of the loop whether the entity is empty. If it is, it
continues, skipping that iteration of the loop.Comment #3

karens commentedI ran into this problem as well and the patch fixes it.
Without the patch, if a referenced item is deleted, the page won't build and fails with a fatal error. With the patch it builds and just doesn't display the broken item.
