Warnings triggered on random pages strnatcmp() and uasort() [#1454642]

I'm getting random warning notices throughout the admin section of Drupal with the following errors.

I have been trying to trace the dependencies of what modules may be providing the wrote parameter type and why. What additional information would help with identifying a pattern to this error?

Check your status report page (admin/reports/status). It means you some kind of conflict where two modules are trying to provide the same token.

Comment #2

emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented 24 February 2012 at 19:52

Hmm,

I will continue to investigate, the current breadcrumbs I can find are the pages where the warning errors appear the most often.

http://example.com/admin/config/search/path/patterns
http://example.com/admin/commerce/products/types/commerce-tshirt
http://example.com/admin/commerce/products/types/product/fields/field_image
http://example.com/admin/commerce/products/types/add

My first hunch is either Drupal Commerce or a sub-contrib module. I could also do a search through my contrib modules for hooks registering for tokens. However I got 989 matches.. so that isn't specific enough.

Is there a specific function or class in the token module I could debug (using xdebug) and step through to know when and where within the page execution stack this occurs?

I'd like to find the conflict then notify the correct module maintainers.

Thanks,

The token module should be able to at least warn you on admin/reports/status which tokens are at fault and are causing the problem.

Comment #4

emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented 8 March 2012 at 22:11

Honestly I think is because I have a lot of modules enabled that provide hooks to add token keys on page load.. At some point it just gives up and pukes out errors.. It seems to be better now, perhaps it's tummy isn't upset any longer?

It still occurs but is less frequent, maybe is it acid reflux. I hear that's treatable. :P

If I happen to track down what module is causing the problem we can squash this whole lactose intolerant issue once and for all!

You're giving me heartburn ignoring my instructions twice on how to help you figure out what is responsible for the errors.

Hi,

I've got the same issue, and /admin/reports/status doesn't tell me anything about conflicting tokens only gives the message Warning: strnatcmp() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in token_asort_tokens() (line 569 of /var/www/clients/client4/web4/web/sites/all/modules/token/token.module). In my case, I have PHPmailer module installed. How can I debug it?

Regards,
K.

I had similar warning on cron run, after 2nd time it disappeared.

strnatcmp() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given token.module:569

Code:

function token_asort_tokens($token_a, $token_b) {
  return strnatcmp($token_a['name'], $token_b['name']);
}

I just got these, now to figure out which modules are responsible:

The following token or token types are defined by multiple modules:
$info['tokens']['metatag']['fb:admins']
$info['tokens']['metatag']['fb:app_id']

@deanflory How did you get that report?

Comment #11

deanflory CreditAttribution: deanflory commented 19 July 2014 at 18:49

Run cron, see results in the Status Report like #9 when there is a Token conflict.

FYI, in my case, this turned out to be an issue with the Metatag module having some duplication going on in a dev release from a few weeks ago.

Updating to the latest "rc1" version of Metatag fixed my issue completely. Here's my issue in the Metatag queue: #2305433: Token types are defined by multiple modules: $info['tokens']['metatag']['fb:admins'] $info['tokens']['metatag']['fb:app_id']

Comment #12

Collins405 CreditAttribution: Collins405 commented 19 July 2014 at 18:58

Thanks for getting back to me, however I guess Im not seeing the same problems, as this error was happening before I installed the Metatag module. Infact, even when disabling all contrib modules apart from token, the errors are still happening, and considering I haven't edited any core files, or hacked any token files, Im at a bit of a loss, because in a fresh install with just token, there are no problems.

Something is causing this though!

A google search of your error(s) didn't bring up much more than this:
