Fixed Fatal error: Call to a member function authenticate() on a non-object

Fatal error: Call to a member function authenticate() on a non-object in /<path>/community/library/XenForo/Model/User.php on line 1024

Anyone know why this would happen?

It means you're having a invalid authentication Object.

for me it's line 972 in xf 1.1 b3

  $authentication = $this->getUserAuthenticationObjectByUserId($user['user_id']);
            if (!$authentication->authenticate($user['user_id'], $password)) {
                $error = new XenForo_Phrase('incorrect_password');
                return false;
            }

maybe xf shoud throw an error if $authenticatin is false and not a child of XenForo_Authentication_Abstract

do you have own authentication shemas?
did you import from an other boardsystem?

this is a default install. no add ons or anything.

the code on line 1024 is the same as what you've posted above.

 

[Mikey]

reinstalling (in effect) fixed it. something must have not gone up right..

Shall I mark this as 'Not a bug' then?

I've prevented this error anyway.
