Function with return type must return a value

[MarcPinnell]

Updating my ci4-auth install. Updated to CI 4.55 and found that the older ci4-auth was causing issues with site_URL(). so removed my src folder and dropped in the new one. Manually updated the tables to match the new structure. The login, logout and landing pages work great. But, if you try to go deeper into the site, ci4-auth throws an error:

Function with return type must return a value
PPATH/ThirdParty/lewe/ci4-auth/src/Filters/RoleFilter.php at line 31

27   public function before(RequestInterface $request, $arguments = null): \CodeIgniter\HTTP\RedirectResponse
28   {
29     if (!function_exists('logged_in')) helper('auth');
30 
31     if (empty($arguments)) return;

If I comment out the bit after the colon on line 27, the site works fine. Any suggestions as to what is going on? From what I read CI is expecting a return in the RedirectResponse type.

Thanks, love the module!

Hi @MarcPinnell ,

true, the older release does not entirely follow strict coding rules. Newer PHP versions require those though. I started playing with PHP 8.4.1 and even CI 4.5.5 is not adjusted to 8.4 yet.

Anyway, I committed the updated filter classes just now. See if those work for you.

Best regards,
George
