We're back with a follow-up question about the issue that we experienced with Zaps not functioning upon upgrading the Pods to versions 2.9.11, 2.9.11.1, 2.9.12, 2.9.12.1, 2.9.12.2, and 2.9.13. We’ve checked the server error log and found an PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function FirebaseJWTJWT::encode(): 2 passed in /wp-content/plugins/zapier/zapier.php on line 126 and at least 3 expected in /wp-content/plugins/pods/tribe-common/vendor/firebase/php-jwt/src/JWT.php:183

Can you help or guide us on how to resolve this error?

Hello @SamB,

Thank you for providing the information about the bug report and the possible cause of the error. It's good to know that we have been added to the list of affected users and that we'll be notified by email once the issue is resolved.

Regarding the suggestion to switch to an older version of the Zapier plugin that uses a different version of the Firebase/JWT library, we appreciate the recommendation. We have tried using Zapier version 1.0.2 and Pods version 2.9.10.2 on our staging site, and we can confirm that the Zaps work fine with these versions. We are hopeful that the compatibility issue will be fixed soon.

We'll continue to monitor the situation and look forward to the resolution of this issue. If there are any further updates or alternative solutions, we'll be sure to let you know. Thank you for your support and assistance.

Best regards,

Hey there @writerscentre! 🙂

I’ve been looking into this and found that we’ve got a bug report opened for this error. So I’ve added you to the list of affected users. I don’t have any ETA on when this issue will be fixed exactly but we’ll be sure to notify you by email the minute it’s been resolved.

From what we can tell it appears to be caused by a compatibility issue around the Firebase/JWT library version used. Perhaps if you switch to using a slightly older version of the Zapier plugin that uses a different version of the Firebase/JWT library perhaps that will get rid of the error in the meantime? 

I’ve not tested this theory out myself but if you do manage to get it working, or find an alternative solution in the interim please do let us know!
