"Property PrestaShopLogger->object_type is not valid" error while creating entry with object model

[safi_te]

The error mentioned in the title is thrown while creating an entry using object model (placed in modules/Mod_Name/classes, which in turn is being called by an admincontroller inside the module). Fields array of the object model definition looks like this:

'fields' => array(
	'name_rank' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
	'validate' => 'isName', 'size' => 256),
	),

I tried changing isName to isAnything which also yields that error. Now interesting part is that when I changed isName() from

public static function isName($name)
    {
        return preg_match(Tools::cleanNonUnicodeSupport('/^[^0-9!<>,;?=+()@#"°{}_$%:]*$/u'), stripslashes($name));
    }

to

public static function isName($name)
    {
        return stripslashes($name);
    }

It works fine! I saw this trick here  https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/279096-solved-validation-error-causing-data-not-to-save/?p=1403753

 

AdminController Code:

class AdminSenaAffiliateController extends ModuleAdminController
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		// Set variables
		$this->module = 'senaaffiliate';
		$this->table = 'senaaff_rank';
		$this->className = 'SenaAff_Rank';
		$this->fields_list = array(
		'id_senaaff_rank' => array('title' => $this->l('Rank ID'),
		'align' => 'left', 'width' => 50),
		'name_rank' => array('title' => $this->l('Rank Title'),
		'width' => 256),
		);
			

		$this->bootstrap = true;
		
		// Call of the parent constructor method
		parent::__construct();		
	}

	public function initPageHeaderToolbar()
    {        
        $this->page_header_toolbar_btn['new_rank'] = array(
            'href' => self::$currentIndex.'&addsenaaff_rank&token='.$this->token,
            'desc' => $this->l('Add new rank', null, null, false),
            'icon' => 'process-icon-new'
        );
        parent::initPageHeaderToolbar();
    }


	public function renderForm()
    {
        /** @var Customer $obj */
        if (!($obj = $this->loadObject(true))) {
            return;
        }            
        $this->fields_form = array(
            'legend' => array(
                'title' => $this->l('Customer'),
                'icon' => 'icon-user'
            ),
            'input' => array(
                array(
                    'type' => 'text',
                    'label' => $this->l('Rank Title'),
                    'name' => 'name_rank',
                    'required' => true,
                    'col' => '4',
                    'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' 0-9!<>,;?=+()@#"°{}_$%:'
                ),
            )
        );

        $this->fields_form['submit'] = array(
            'title' => $this->l('Save'),
        );
        return parent::renderForm();
    }

}

However, I should mention that unlike the problem of the attached link the data is being saved perfectly. Problem is clients do not like seeing errors, petty or critical. Still, I would like to know about this more.

 

Please comment if I could not make this clear

I just encountered this issue with my Image/Video Gallery module. The problem is the _ in the class name. Rename the class file and class name without the _, then change:

		$this->className = 'SenaAff_Rank';

to:

		$this->className = 'SenaAffRank';
