Preparse throwing issue in C3

[zizther]

Since updating a site from Craft 2 to Craft 3, I am getting this error

Call to a member function setAttributes() on null

1. craft/vendor/craftcms/cms/src/base/Plugin.php at line 199

    /**

    {
        $this->getSettings()->setAttributes($settings, false);
    }

This issue ended up being a setting being stored from the C2 plugin and being carried over to the C3 install.
In the plugins table the prepare-field row had {"disableElementTables": "1"}. I removed this, and it works fine now.

I am closing this issue.

hello, i have the same issue, could you please explain more detailed how to resolve the issue, thank you. In which database-table the settings of the plugins are now stored, so i could remove this one particular setting.

@krizzzly After you have done the update from C2 to C3, if you have a look at your database, go to the plugins table and find the PreparseField row and see if it contains {"disableElementTables": "1"}.

I removed this, and it fixed my issue.

unfortunately the "settings" column in "plugins" table is not there anymore. I think all the settings went into 'info' table and get compiled into a string there.

Interesting, maybe it has changed since I did it with an earlier version of C3.
I will reopen this.
