I’m working on a CakePHP-based app that has multiple abstract base controller classes that inherit from AppController.

It turned out that the plugin was attempting to instantiate one of every controller class except AppController<\/span>, which of course would fail for the abstract ones. The fix was straightforward: exclude every class that is not instantiable from the list of controllers to add as ACOs. I submitted\u00a0a PR over the weekend to fix the bug, and it got merged yesterday. So the current version on GitHub no longer has the problem\u2014hopefully a new version will be pushed to Packagist soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m working on a CakePHP-based app that has multiple abstract base controller classes that inherit from AppController.
