The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I am using views and random sort criteria along with block refresh to try and display a random teaser when a user clicks refresh. Everything seems to be working fine up until the moment I click refresh, at which point I am receiving Array instead of the content. I have tried with ajax enabled and disabled on the view itself to no effect. I have also tried without the random sort with the same problem. I have block refresh working fine on non views. What would be the best way to try and debug? I cannot see any error messages.

michaellander commented7wonders, let me try and replicate this and get back to you. Do you have this issue with the auto refresh by chance?
Comment #2
7wonders commentedI suppose it would have been smart of me to try that before posting :)
But yes, it also gives array on the auto refresh. Let me know what I can do to help debug. Im using latest dev of pretty much everything.

idflood commentedI had the same issue with a block from another module. The issue seems to come from the fact that blocks can now return their content as string or renderable array. Here is a little patch that should fix this.

michaellander commentedThere was a slight typo in the is_array, but i'm rolling it in as we speak. It will be in the next release. Thanks for your help idflood!

idflood commentedgreat : )
But I should have read the source of render() before creating the patch. The is_array check is included in it, so it could have avoided me this typo.
We can then theoretically remove the if/else and just do:
print render($block['content']);

michaellander commentedhaha dangit, maybe I should have read it as well. I'll roll it into DEV for the next update.
