I have the same notices – they appeared after upgrading PHP to PHP 7.4.

Great! Much appreciated!

To install + run my wordpress environment, I use the following tools:

– I have a git repo with all the wordpress php-files on it
– I manage wordpress in that repo with the wp-cli tool, i.e. wp plugin install post-smtp
– This downloads the .zip-file, and extracts it into the plugins directory
– I add all the newly added code to my git repo git add .
– I commit and push this to github
– A container build is started to build a docker image with the wordpress-install in it
– This is deployed to Google Cloud

Normally, that all runs well. But if there are any .gitignore-files within the plugins folders, the files mentioned -in- those .gitignore-files will not be added to my git-checkout, and therefore not included in the docker image.

If other people also use git in their wordpress-deployment workflow, they will encounter the same issues.

Would it be possible to add a find . -type f -name .gitignore line to your release procedure to remove those .gitignore-files in future releases?

Maybe @yehudah can elaborate on that?

Those files might be hidden? This were the locations I found them:

./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Connectivity-Test/registered-domain-libs-master/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/sendgrid/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/sendgrid/vendor/sendgrid/sendgrid/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/sendgrid/vendor/sendgrid/php-http-client/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/google-api-client/vendor/google/auth/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/google-api-client/vendor/google/apiclient-services/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/google-api-client/vendor/psr/log/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/mailgun/vendor/clue/stream-filter/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/mailgun/vendor/symfony/options-resolver/.gitignore
./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/mailgun/vendor/webmozart/assert/.gitignore

Especially the first one is harmful, since that contains:

$ cat ./post-smtp/Postman/Postman-Mail/sendgrid/.gitignore
test/coverage/*
examples/*
dist/
composer.lock
vendor
.env*
sendgrid-php.php

The last entry is a reference to the sendgrid-php.php file itself, which then became missing in my git checkin of my wordpress installation.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Wietse

That was a good pointer, thanks!

I figured out what the issue was – there are a bunch of .gitignore-files throughout the plugin-code; and that prevented my git-repo from adding the whole codebase to my repo.

I just deleted those .gitignore-files, and now life is happy.

Case closed!
