Error: Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set when trying to run static publishing task, but queuing the task works

Silverstripe Version: SS5.3

Question:

I have a weird problem - when I run sake dev/tasks/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask on CLI (or add the task via CMS > Jobs or select ‘run’ on the job via mysite.com/dev/tasks), then run sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask on CLI, I get the following error:

Cookie ‘alc_enc’ can’t be set. The site started outputting content at line 108 in /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Dev/TaskRunner.php at /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Control/CookieJar.php:181

However, if I queue the job via CLI dev/tasks/queue/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask or select the ‘queue’ option in mysite.com/dev/tasks, then run sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask on CLI, the full cache build task runs just fine.

The alc_enc cookie error also occurs when jobs are added via a page being republished in the CMS.

I only noticed this error appearing after a recent SS upgrade. Any ideas on what’s going on here would be most welcome.

For reference, line 108 of TaskRunner.php is:

printf(Director::is_cli() ? "%s\n\n" : '<h1>%s</h1>', $content);

Ok, I’ve traced it down to the Static Publisher module interacting with the Cloudinary module.

See bug report here:

Problems with static publisher module

Steps to reproduce: - Install [Cloudinary](https://github.com/MadeHQ/silverstri…pe-cloudinary) - Install https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-staticpublishqueue - run `sake dev/tasks/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask` - run `sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask` results in error: ``` error-log.ERROR: Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set. The site started outputting content at line 108 in /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Dev/TaskRunner.php {"exception":"[object] (LogicException(code: 0): Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set. The site started outputting content at line 108 in /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Dev/TaskRunner.php at /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Control/CookieJar.php:181)"} [] [2025-03-13T12:40:48.359764+13:00] error-log.WARNING: Job paused at 2025-03-13 12:40:48 [] [] ``` I've tried to track down what causes this in the Cloudinary module, but cannot find it. However, queuing the build task (instead of running it) does not produce the error, ie. - queue `sake dev/tasks/queue/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask` - then run `sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask` appears to work fine. Also, if I add the following to `_config.php`, it suppresses the error - maybe this is all that's needed somewhere in the Cloudinary module, I'm just not sure where. ``` use SilverStripe\Control\Cookie; Cookie::config()->set('report_errors', false); ``` Hoping someone can help with this, as this bug is currently causing each build job triggered by a page republish to result in that error and fail. Is it ok to simply leave the `Cookie::config()->set('report_errors', false);` setting in my `_config.php` or is this a bad idea?

Steps to reproduce:

Install Cloudinary
Install GitHub - silverstripe/silverstripe-staticpublishqueue: This module allows you to build static HTML caches of every page (for increased security and performance)
run sake dev/tasks/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask
run sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask

results in error:

error-log.ERROR: Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set. The site started outputting content at line 108 in /var/www/html/vendor/silverstripe/framework/src/Dev/TaskRunner.php {"exception":"[object] (LogicException(code: 0): Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set.

I’ve tried to track down what causes this in the Cloudinary module, but cannot find it. However, queuing the build task (instead of running it) does not produce the error, ie.

queue sake dev/tasks/queue/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask
then run sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask

appears to work fine.

Also, if I add the following to _config.php, it suppresses the error - maybe this is all that’s needed somewhere in the Cloudinary module, I’m just not sure where.

use SilverStripe\Control\Cookie;
Cookie::config()->set('report_errors', false);

Hoping someone can help with this, as this bug is currently causing each build job triggered by a page republish to result in that error and fail. Is it ok to simply leave the Cookie::config()->set('report_errors', false); setting in my _config.php or is this a bad idea?

Running cache build jobs results in Cookie 'alc_enc' errors when Cloudinary module installed

### Module version(s) affected 6.2.2 ### Description When both Static Publis…h Queue and [Cloudinary](https://github.com/MadeHQ/silverstripe-cloudinary) modules are installed, a `Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set.` error occurs when trying to run cache build jobs. Queued jobs however, appear to be unaffected. I've tried to track down what causes this in the Cloudinary module, but cannot find it. I'm not sure whether this is a Static Publish issue or Cloudinary issue. Hoping someone can help with this, as this bug is currently causing each build job triggered by a page republish to result in that error and fail. For reference my composer.json contains: ``` { "name": "silverstripe/installer", "type": "silverstripe-recipe", "description": "The SilverStripe Framework Installer", "require": { "php": "^8.3", "silverstripe/recipe-cms": "^5", "silverstripe-themes/simple": "^3", "silverstripe/login-forms": "^5", "silverstripe/staticpublishqueue": "^6", "mademedia/silverstripe-cloudinary": "^8" }, "require-dev": { "phpunit/phpunit": "^9.6" }, "extra": { "project-files": [ "app/_config/*", ".env.example", ".graphql-generated/*" ], "public-files": [ "assets/*", "favicon.ico" ], "project-files-installed": [ ".htaccess", "app/.htaccess", "app/_config/mimevalidator.yml", "app/_config/mysite.yml", "app/src/Page.php", "app/src/PageController.php" ], "public-files-installed": [ ".htaccess", "index.php", "web.config" ] }, "autoload": { "psr-4": { "App\\Web\\": "src/" } }, "config": { "process-timeout": 600, "allow-plugins": { "composer/installers": true, "silverstripe/recipe-plugin": true, "silverstripe/vendor-plugin": true } }, "prefer-stable": true, "minimum-stability": "dev" } ``` This was reliably reproduced on a clean install. ### How to reproduce Steps to reproduce: - Install [Cloudinary](https://github.com/MadeHQ/silverstripe-cloudinary) - Install [Static Publish Queue](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-staticpublishqueue) - run `sake dev/tasks/SilverStripe-StaticPublishQueue-Task-StaticCacheFullBuildTask` - run `sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask` results in error: ``` error-log.ERROR: Cookie 'alc_enc' can't be set.
