Possible incompatibility: external polls and the guest app

I am currently using the Polls app version 9.0.7. At the same time, the Guests app version 4.7.0 is installed on my Nextcloud instance. When sharing polls via a public link, I observe the following behavior:

Preparation
Create a new poll and share it via a public link. Default settings can be used.
Open the link in a browser without logging in. Polls displays the participant registration dialog.

Expected behavior
When entering a name that has not yet been used, the name field should turn green.
No errors should appear in the log.

Observed behavior
No matter what is entered, the name field always remains red.
An SQL error appears in the log:
An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'email' in 'where clause'

The corresponding statement is:
SELECT uid, displayname FROM *PREFIX*guests_users u LEFT JOIN *PREFIX*preferences p ON (userid = uid) AND (appid = ‘settings’) AND (configkey = ‘email’) WHERE (uid COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE ?) OR (email COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE ?) OR (displayname COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE ?) OR (configvalue COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE ?) ORDER BY uid_lower ASC

After disabling the Guests app, Polls works as expected. There is indeed no email column in my guests table. Could this have been caused by a failed update of one of the apps?

Can you post the entire stack trace from the Nextcloud log?

It looks like the email column was added in Guests v4.7.0 from the looks of the code.

Do you have logs from when you updated the app?

are there still unsolved setup-messages in your adminaccount?

Of course — Here is the complete error message (before the deactivation of guests). Sorry for the long reply, but I’m not allowed to upload a JSON file here…

Where can I find the update log for a single app in NC? The update wasn’t that long ago.

another random question… do you have the maps-app installed, perhaps?

No, only Mail, Polls, Deck and so on. But I just noticed there’s a new update for Polls (9.1.1) and Guests (4.7.1). Should I update and test, or wait for now because of the troubleshooting? I don’t urgently need Guests.

the most important thing is having a running machine… and so maybe those updates will remove your problems.

If yes, just tell us about it as an answer. if no let us know as well. But with more details ;o)

It would not be surprising if inconsistencies would be found between apps. Especially for apps that touches or tweaks standard behavior like the Guests app.

It seems the polls app try to send a mail notification to the guest user, but are the Guest users even presented with an email in the expected table?

Turn of notifications for anonymous users in the polls settings.

I poked around a bit in the app’s code, and the SQL query seems to confirm it: I think it’s trying to avoid naming conflicts between registrations and internal users and guests.

After installing both updates, there is still no change: Guests = active => no registration. I’ll just leave the Guests app disabled for now.

thx a lot.
