Deprecation notice: PluginOutlet

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

A deprecation notice in the console warns that PluginOutlet arguments should now use @outletArgs= instead of @args=. Heliosurge encountered this warning, which is likely caused by the Air theme or a plugin like Minimal Category Boxes. Lilly suggests checking safe mode and identifies that outdated component code may be the source. Heliosurge confirms the Air theme is installed. j.jaffeux clarifies that this is a non-critical deprecation, meaning it won’t break functionality, and only theme/plugin maintainers need to address it. Heliosurge confirms this won’t affect the theme’s function, and j.jaffeux confirms it’s a warning to prepare for future removals, not an immediate issue.

:warning:Deprecation notice: PluginOutlet arguments should now be passed using @outletArgs= instead of @args= (outlet: category-box-below-each-category) [deprecation id: discourse.plugin-outlet-args

This currently doesn’t seem to be breaking anything. So more just for information headsup

probably from one of your themes or components. can you check safe mode? i’m not getting this error on my instance.

looks like whatever component that is causing it is using the old plugin outlet args format:

for example, this would lkely throw a deprecation error:

but this shouldn’t:

I do have the Air theme installed. So likely the 'minimal category boxes ’ you linked as ‘modern category boxes with groups’ is still under that name.

The other TC throwing an error is post badges.

This is a deprecation notice, so if you are not a theme/plugin maintainer you have nothing to do about it and that won’t cause errors on your instance.

Cool thanks. So it will not affect the theme component’s function?

No as long as it’s a deprecation, we use these to track them and fix them ahead of final removal. It’s only YOUR problem, if it’s your own private customization causing this.
