If you call trigger_error('Some message') in your code (thereby trigger a message with the default E_USER_NOTICE error type), it will get displayed to the screen as if it is a debug message generated with the debug() function (in other words, it will have the word "Debug" out front, will display as a green status message rather than a red error message, etc).

That behavior was introduced in #296574: Provide debug facility for general and testing (with some reservations) as a means of getting debug() to behave properly.

Currently it is causing me some issues with the patch in #2844716: "Missing/moved modules" PHP warnings should be PHP notices instead.

I think the solution is to use a method similar to https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!bootstrap.inc/function/_drupa... to indicate that only the messages triggered by the debug() function should be displayed as debug messages.

Here is a patch.

I guess ideally it would have tests, but I don't really have the inclination to write them at the moment.

Hm, it actually may be a bit more complicated than the above. There is duplicate code elsewhere that does the same thing, and also code in the tests that seem to rely on it.

Here's a new version of the patch that I think may be complete this time.

Issue tags: +Bug Smash Initiative

This is a Bug Smash daily triage issue.

errors.inc has the following but there is no explanation why a 'User notice' is to be treated as debug information.

      // If error type is 'User notice' then treat it as debug information
      // instead of an error message.
      if ($error['%type'] == 'User notice') {
        $error['%type'] = 'Debug';
        $class = 'status';
      }

Git blame says that this was introduced in #325169: Move error/exception handler higher up in the bootstrap process but that is not right. The change is not there. The IS has #2844716: "Missing/moved modules" PHP warnings should be PHP notices instead and looking there, the patch has:

       // If error type is 'User notice' then treat it as debug information
		-      // instead of an error message, see dd().
		-      if ($error['%type'] == 'User notice') {
		+      // instead of an error message, unless we know it came from somewhere
		+      // other than debug().
		+      if ($error['%type'] == 'User notice' && !drupal_static('_drupal_trigger_error_with_delayed_logging')) {
		         $error['%type'] = 'Debug';
		         $class = 'status';
		       }

I don't know what _drupal_trigger_error_with_delayed_logging' is and so still don't know why 'User notice' are treated as debug in the UI.

Version: 9.5.x-dev » 10.1.x-dev

Drupal 9.5.0-beta2 and Drupal 10.0.0-beta2 were released on September 29, 2022, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 10.1.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
