Hi everybody,

after I finally managed to upgrade a rather old site to 3.2.1 I'm still facing an issue with the assets admin. I always get the following error message when calling /admin/assets/:

Error at framework/core/Object.php line 739: Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'numchildfolders' does not exist on 'Image' (http://www.diakonischeswerk.de/admin/assets/)

Any ideas on that? It seems pretty obvious that an Image doesn't have child folders, but why is that method called?

Thanks in advance
Jens

Hi Jens,

Do you have more info on the error?

I have only found one other person who has mentioned this error, it seems to be in releation to old code when upgrading.
Looks like something to do with loading images into/through a gridfield... Does that sound like anything?

Hi Helen,

thank you for your reply. I'm definitely not loading these images to a grid field. The error occurs when the default asset management of the CMS gets called. There is no custom code in it as far as I can see. The class Image is the one provided by the framework.

Here's stack trace I receive:

[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'numchildfolders' does not exist on 'Image'

I've the same issue when I try to upgrade from 3.1.12 to 3.1.18!
This seems to be a bug related to changes committed here: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/pull/4202

It looks like that if there are files in the root of the assets tree (and maybe some other factors), this error occurs.
