Error deploying

[GoDodyGo]

Can someone explain how I can overcome this deployment error? What am I supposed to fix? I cannot decipher the error. I have deployed before but it's been several months. I noticed since the last time I deployed, the way gameoptions is held has changed (now in JSON file). Also some fields are no longer valid in gameinfos.inc.php. I thought I removed all offending fields but it still will not deploy. What do I do?

Can you try with gamepreferences.json file containing {} instead of being empty?

[GoDodyGo]

I changed gamepreferences.json file to contain {} instead of being empty and the error disappeared!

Later today I will try to fully deploy it but you got me through this issue, thanks!

[tabicat]

I had to put my project on pause for the past several months, but I'm getting back to it now. I'm experiencing this same bug.

Unfortunately, I also know very little about writing web apps in general, so a lot of my progress is just trial-and-error.

Is there a wiki page or something that outlines the changes? I have neither a gameoptions.json nor a gamepreferences.json file. Where did these come from? Where do they belong?

canterbury.game.php is just a renamed version of the Reverse sample code.

invert the implode parameters, it's linked to the PHP8 upgrade

You can also get read only access to Reversi cproject to look at the updated code
