Fatal error: Call to undefined function link_field_property_info_callback() in field.info.inc on line 30 [#1312374]

Hi,

My website is currently unaccessible, I get an error message that seems to be in relation to the Entity module:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function link_field_property_info_callback() in /home/explo635/public_html/sites/all/modules/entity/modules/field.info.inc on line 30

I don't know where to start since I'm a newbe and I don't know much about coding, but the site is down and I need to solve this issue urgently. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Here's the file code related to the error message (field.info.inc):

I'm having the same issue right now.

I downloaded again the latest DEV of entity with drush, but can't clear cash or run cron and shows this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function countries_field_info_property_callback() in /path/to/sites/all/modules/contrib/entity/modules/field.info.inc on line 30

Running drush updatedb says no updates required.

Edit: I upgraded to countries-7.x-2.x-dev and now I have an error 503...

I ran drush up and received the following error:

So I can't clear the cache, because of that error.

That's probably some sort of cache-rebuilding issue which with a certain set of modules (and versions). We need to identify the module combination causing the trouble.

As I can see, the problem related with Countries module. It happened because they renamed 'property_callbacks' into hook_field_info.

Do you mind, if I close the task as duplicate? please reopen it if you not happy with it.

Appears like cached results lead to the error. So imho, the core issue appears to be related to the caching of the property callback deep in the chain somewhere by something.

@mrded
I will look at a workaround in the other queue. However, this issue has been reported by multiple modules; link, countries, i18n, .... same issue. Function was defined, then changed / removed, then they get this error. Uncommon, and probably hard to replicate.

new	entity_field_property_callback-1312374-20.patch	721 bytes

This scenario produces the issue for me:

1. I developed a 'feature' module locally with custom entities using ECK. The entities have fields provided by the 'money' module.
2. After successful testing locally, I pushed the code to a staging server where the code had not previously existed, thus the DB should have no cached field data.
3. Any drush command fails with the same error the people have been reporting: a function does not exist for a module that has yet to be enabled. In my case, the money module.

I'm not sure yet how this callback is being registered into the property callbacks if the feature containing the entities and fields is disabled along with the module implementing the field, but adding the function_exists() check allows the code to execute so the necessary modules may be enabled.

I've attached a patch with the function_exists() check to get past the issue at least temporarily.

I do not think silently ignoring this is a good idea as it usually means something is wrong. If this happens during upgrade, that's odd and strictly seen a problem of the update code. However, I'm happy to ease things by e.g. throwing a warning only instead of letting it fatal.

nerdcore commented 10 November 2014 at 20:23

I'm experiencing this error with the callback function `date_entity_metadata_property_info_alter` having updated to date-7.x-2.8.

I had been on Date 7.x-2.6 with Entity API 7.x-1.3 with 1440928_fix_fatal_error_for_entity_tokens-44.patch.

Update to Date 7.x-2.8 has broken Entity API on this site.

I've cleared all cache_ tables in the database. The issue persists.

EDIT: An external cache had captured the bad data. I believe my issue is resolved having removed the external cache. Sorry about that.

In case you are caching with Memcached you can use:

echo 'flush_all' | nc localhost 11211

Replace localhost with your memcached server and 11211 with your memcached port.

Comment #38

generalconsensus commented 9 August 2016 at 19:46

This is honestly ridiculous, multiple years to wrap critical entity api code in a function_exists check?

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to sound too shrill but this module is so essential to most D7 installs that there are over half a million people using it in the wild.

Please approve and move the #23 patch into a release

Comment #39

New related error, different function in a different module, but the same cause. Uses stale cached data to call a function that doesn't exist that was previously defined via property_callbacks.

Watchdog error enough?

Comment #43

I spent nearly two days chasing this issue that was preventing us from moving forward on a client project. I can confirm that #42 fixed this issue for us. While it may not be a perfect solution, it does address the immediate issue that prevents the usability of any module that uses hook_entity_metadata_property_info() and the resulting defined callback function, especially when you have external caching (like Memcached or Redis), where this is insidious and difficult to track down.

Our particular issue was with the Paragraphs module.

- same here today in my system if running update.php because of module update (permission report)
- patch #42 solves this for the moment
