Plugin version 2.9.0 WordPress 4.4.2 is broken

  • Hello,

    In my case for a couple of local dev websites (one fresh install and on existing install), the plugin is broken. At activation, the plugin does not create the database table.

    On activation through WP-CLI, I get the following error:
    Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'rul_install' not found or invalid function name in /Users/molotov/Sites/zotpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 525

    On activation through the dashboard, I get the following error:
    The plugin generated 1075 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

    I was wondering whether I was the only getting this error.

    The error was due to the databases being set to utf8mb4 collation.

    As WP is now using utf8 as of version 4.2, should the table creation process of the plugin be made compatible with utf8mb4 collation ?

    Here is the debug output. The error is definitely linked to the collation by the database used. The table cannot be created on a utf8mb4 collation with the InnoDB engine.

    Erreur de la base de données WordPress Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes pour la requête CREATE TABLE wp_login_redirects (
            <code>rul_type</code> enum('user','role','level','all','register') NOT NULL,
            <code>rul_value</code> varchar(255) NULL default NULL,
            <code>rul_url</code> LONGTEXT NULL default NULL,
            <code>rul_url_logout</code> LONGTEXT NULL default NULL,
            <code>rul_order</code> int(2) NOT NULL default '0',
            UNIQUE KEY <code>rul_type</code> (<code>rul_type</code>,<code>rul_value</code>)
            ) faite par activate_plugin, do_action('activate_peters-login-redirect/wplogin_redirect.php'), call_user_func_array, rul_install

    By decreasing the the rul_value from 255 characters to 191 characters during the table creation as suggested here, this solves the problem on a database set to ut8mb4 collation.
