Setup problem notify_push

DiveSurfer · July 6, 2025, 3:00pm

Hello everyone,
I have a small problem with the setup of the notify_push app.

As far as I can tell, the furnishings look good and all the points I asked about are confirmed positively.

Only the last point looks as if the version is not displayed correctly.

I hope someone has an idea what I could do or how I could investigate the error further.

The Basics

Nextcloud Server version 31.0.6.2:
- replace me
Operating system and version Debian 12:
PHP version 8.3:
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Yes

Summary of the issue you are facing:

✓ redis is configured
✓ push server is receiving redis messages
✓ push server can load mount info from database
✓ push server can connect to the Nextcloud server
✓ push server is a trusted proxy
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
TypeError: strrpos(): Argument #1 ($haystack) must be of type string, false given in /var/www/cloud/html/apps/notify_push/lib/SelfTest.php:197

#7 /var/www/cloud/html/console.php(87): OC\Console\Application->run()
#8 /var/www/cloud/html/occ(33): require_once(‘…’)

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

Install clean Nextcloud
Enable notify_push
Adjust settings according to specifications
run “occ notify_push:setup [URL]/push”

looks the problem occurs in this code part

github.com/nextcloud/notify_push

lib/SelfTest.php

c2abd0c1f


      
          		// test that the binary is up to date
          		try {
          			$this->queue->getConnection()->del('notify_push_version');
          			$response = $this->client->post($server . '/test/version', ['nextcloud' => ['allow_local_address' => true], 'verify' => false]);
          			if ($response === 'error') {
          				$output->writeln('<error>🗴 failed to get binary version, check the push server output for more information</error>');
          				return self::ERROR_OTHER;
          			}
          			usleep(10 * 1000);
          			$binaryVersion = $this->queue->getConnection()->get('notify_push_version');
          		} catch (\Exception $e) {
          			$msg = $e->getMessage();
          			$output->writeln("<error>🗴 failed to get binary version: $msg</error>");
          			return self::ERROR_OTHER;
          		}
          		$appVersion = $this->appManager->getAppVersion('notify_push');
          		$appVersionNoMinor = substr($appVersion, 0, strrpos($appVersion, '.'));
          		$binaryVersionNoMinor = substr($binaryVersion, 0, strrpos($binaryVersion, '.'));

where in the line 197 in checks for minor version of the binary but fails for some reason.

I would recommend you open a github issue and report all details, especially (debug) logs before the problem.
I’m not a dev but for me the code looks valid ant it doesn’t fail extracting $binaryVersion but the result seem not a version string as expected but $false binary value..

and yes I found your issue would be great you would have reported this here as well

Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response.

Right, it looks like something is not working correctly with the part you mentioned.

Sorry, you’re right, I could have added that I created issue on github.

It looks like the error is caused by strrpos() receiving false instead of a string, likely due to a failed file_get_contents() or similar function. Check the code around line 197 in SelfTest.php to see what’s being passed. Most likely, a file or config value couldn’t be read properly. Make sure the config.php and required paths are accessible and not returning false. Also, try running occ notify_push:setup with full logs enabled (-vvv) to get more detail.

Unfortunately, with full logs activated, I don’t get any more displayed than before.

however, i have set the debug level for notify_push, here is the log excerpt:
