[5.x]: Invalid Configuration: Either sectionId or fieldId + ownerId must be set on the entry

[jamiepittock]

What happened?

Description

I ran across this when attaching a behavior to our entries.

Event::on(
    Entry::class,
    Entry::EVENT_DEFINE_BEHAVIORS,
    function(DefineBehaviorsEvent $e) {
        if ($e->sender->getType()->handle === 'questionType') {
            $e->behaviors['questionTypeStats'] = QuestionTypeBehavior::class;
        }
    }
);

For nested matrix entries this seems to throw the error

Invalid Configuration – yii\base\InvalidConfigException
Either sectionId or fieldId + ownerId must be set on the entry.

These entries have a fieldId + primaryOwnerId, but no ownerId.

There were a few areas throughout the control panel where we were instantiating elements without actually configuring them at all (e.g. setting the sectionId/fieldId/ownerId on entries), which led to this error when calling getType().

Craft 4.13.4 and 5.5.4 are out with a couple fixes for those (130fd77 + eff6671).

You still may want to make your code a bit more defensive though, in case any plugins are doing something similar.

use craft\elements\Entry;
use craft\events\DefineBehaviorsEvent;
use yii\base\Event;
use yii\base\InvalidConfigException;

Event::on(Entry::class, Entry::EVENT_DEFINE_BEHAVIORS, function(DefineBehaviorsEvent $e) {
    /** @var Entry $entry */
    $entry = $e->sender;

    try {
        $type = $entry->getType();
    } catch (InvalidConfigException $e) {
        return;
    }

    if ($type->handle === 'questionType') {
        $e->behaviors['questionTypeStats'] = QuestionTypeBehavior::class;
    }
});

Thanks!
