Running occ files:scan --all results in error. It is expecting integer type but float value is being passed instead

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes since I upgraded to version 27

Steps to replicate it:

  1. occ files:scan --all

I don’t have a “do this and it’s over” solution, but have you already triggered it with the verbose flag?

occ files:scan -vvv --all

That always helped me because one can then see exactly at which file it derailes. Most of the time those were somehow problematic files that I could then repair from a backup or simply remove completely.
Of course I hope that you can solve your problem with this. It’s worth a try. At least you will gain deeper insight into the cause.

much luck!

Thank you for your quick reply.

I’ve tried your suggestion with more verbose but it doesn’t show me which file is causing this. If it gave me the value of the $oldSize and filename I would then try to fix it.
I’ve tried to scan my own user files and it also produces the same error.

I’ve created a new user and performed the same scan on that user which has no files then it runs to completion without errors. Any user with files will produce the error.

I had to upgrade to PHP 8.2 in order to upgrade my Nextcloud version to 27. Previously running version 26 and PHP 8.0 did not have this error.

Could it be PHP 8.2 that is the problem?
