2.3.5-P1 to 2.4.0 Contact Form Error

[emeservices]

I've upgraded via composer from 2.3.5-P1 to 2.4.0

Everything went smoothly apart from the contact form. Using a child theme based on Luma. If i call the contact form on the Contact Page, using:

{{block class="Magento\Contact\Block\ContactForm" name="contactForm" template="Magento_Contact::form.phtml"}}

The page completely breaks - no theme visible, just the first line of a broken contact form.

Exception log shows the following error:

main.CRITICAL: Invalid block type: MagentoContactBlockContactForm {"exception":"[object] (Magento\\Framework\\Exception\\LocalizedException(code: 0): Invalid block type: MagentoContactBlock$

When enabling developer mode, and viewing page source, I see this error:

3 id="contact-form"
4 method="post"
5 data-hasrequired="* Required Fields"
6 data-mage-init='{"validation":{}}'>
7 <fieldset class="fieldset">
8 <legend class="legend"><span>Write Us</span></legend><br />
9 <div class="field note no-label">
10 Jot us a note and we’ll get back to you as quickly as possible. </div>
11 <div class="field name required">
12 <label class="label" for="name"><span>Name</span></label>
13 <div class="control">
14 <input name="name"
15 id="name"
16 title="Name"
17 value="Error: Call to a member function getUserName() on null in
/vendor/magento/module-contact/view/frontend/templates/form.phtml:29

Any thought on what the issue could be?

Hello @emeservices ,

Have your overwritten vendor/magento/module-contact/view/frontend/templates/form.phtml in your theme?

If yes, then please share the code so that I can get better understanding of the problem.

Thanks

No, I haven't overwritten any core files

Hi @emeservices 

Have you overridden view-model class ? what is the code of controller which is going to that particular page ?

it is not able to find view-model class/file.

Hi, it a very basic child theme of Luma, there are very few overrides. Everything was fully functional before the composer update to 2.4.0

I am having this exact same problem.  Upon upgrading to 2.4.0 (from 2.3.5-p1), the default Contact Us form is broken.

I am using the default Magento Blank theme, with NO customized code.

It looks like this:

Based on that context, looking at the code in:

vendor/magento/module-contact/view/frontend/templates/form.phtml

It must be a problem with this call to $viewModel->getUserName:

            <div class="control">
                <input name="name" 
                       id="name" 
                       title="<?= $block->escapeHtmlAttr(__('Name')) ?>" 
                       value="<?= $block->escapeHtmlAttr($viewModel->getUserName
()) ?>" 
                       class="input-text" 
                       type="text" 
                       data-validate="{required:true}"/>
            </div>
        </div>

But I know nothing about the Magento code, classes, etc, so I have no idea what is wrong with the call.

I also want to add that I do have a "Contact Us" CONTENT->Pages page, which has:

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 15px;">
<p>Need some help? We'd love to hear from you!</p>
<p>Call us: 503-555-1212</p>
<p><img src="{{media url="woman-typing.jpg"}}" alt="" width="297" height="198">;</p>
</div>
<p>{{block class="Magento\Contact\Block\ContactForm" name="contactForm" template="Magento_Contact::form.phtml"}}</p>

When I select "View" from the Action column, it breaks in the same way as when clicking on the "Contact Us" link from the frontend.

Thanks,

Evelyn

Here's a little more data, hoping someone who knows the code will be able to fix it.  There was a traceback in the error that I just noticed.  It looks like this:

I'm seeing the exact same view on the broken contact page.

There is now some discussion at github

https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/29357

[KnittyNoddy]

Yea I filed that bug report.  Basically it is an undocumented incompatibility between versions.

It should have appeared in the release notes as a Backward Incompatible Change.

And they should have provided a new example, that reflects the code changes, for how to customize the Contact Us.

what is the code of regulator which is heading off to that specific page ?
