Dataselector class is not found in newer dd version

[ascheider]

I have installation where Dataport uses this selector:

specifications:items:\App\Model\CS::s#pileHeight

specifications is a classification store.
The class is placed in src Folder and have following structure:

class CS
{
public static function s($data, $name): string {
}
}

With the data director 3.7.24 everything works fine.
In the new installation with 3.9.29 i have error like this:

[NOTICE] Could not find service / class method \App\Model\CS::s, falling back to \App\Model\CS:s#suitableForUnderfloorHeating
[INFO] Result of data query selector ".:.:.:specifications:items:\App\Model\CS::s#suitableForUnderfloorHeating" is null
[WARNING] Unexpected output during run:
string(13) "\App\Model\CS"
string(1) "s"
bool(false)

It seems the method self::method_exists don't work as expected, it returns false

if i call core php method \method_exists($functionNameParts[0], $functionNameParts[1]) instead of self::method_exists($functionNameParts[0], $functionNameParts[1]) on this line, the class is called correctly and the value is extracted.

If i look into the method, there is missing condition if $object is string, if i add the condition it works as expected.

Do you agree with this change, can you integrate it in the dd?
Thanks!

@BlackbitDevs Can you please give feedback to it? Thanks!

Hi @ascheider,

thanks for your report and solution. I have used

if((is_object($object) || is_string($object)) && \method_exists($object, $methodName)) {
  return true;
}

instead of 2 conditions.

Sadly, I do not have write access currently to Blackbit's repository anymore. We are checking how we can continue developing Data Director. But for now you can only patch it.

@Jan-Walther-Basilicom Hi, thanks for the reply. We got also the email, we have also read only access.
Hope you can figure it out and continue the work on data director.
Did'n see another people how are working on it at blackbit.
There are also several issues in another repos, like bme cat: BlackbitDigitalCommerce/pimcore-data-director-bmecat#6
Unfortunately nobody responding.
Pimcore releases soon the stable version of studio, also did not see single commit for the react UI in Git.
