Hello, I just tried sending a personal message to a new user and upon submitting received an internal server error message, no other info. I tried again by clicking “send message” on that user’s profile card, same thing.
I’ve already managed to send personal messages to groups in that past, of that I’m sure.
Where do I start looking/troubleshooting?
Or anybody “guess-know” what might be going on?
a pop up? or console message? Try to capture a screen shot or copy paste the error so we can see please
Added screenshot to post, sorry didn’t do it directly!
Internal Server Errors are combined with an entry in /logs - share the corresponding error and the backtrace
(browser console can sometimes help, but ultimately this is something that snapped in the back end 
)
Job exception: unknown keyword: :private_message_context
And under backtrace I have a whole lot of stuff, should I copy it all here?
Oh wait seems I didn’t look at the time correctly, might be this actually:
ArgumentError (unknown keyword: :private_message_context) lib/plugin/instance.rb:460:in ‘Kernel#public_send’ lib/plugin/instance.rb:460:in ‘block (2 levels) in Guardian#add_to_class’ lib/topic_creator
Are you able to update to latest version of Discourse?
I can do an update but it’ll have to be a little later (in a couple of hours), last two times I did it I ended up having to troubleshoot stuff on the server so I want to do it when I have a bit more time before me than right now (appointment coming up).
Worth doing before worrying more about this error?
Can this have anything to do with the fact I have disabled private messages except to staff (IIRC, need to double-check) – but shouldn’t I, as admin, be able to message anybody?
Yeah, most of the time, it’s worth being on latest version. Just in case the bug’s already been fixed.
Could also be an incompatibility with a plugin.
Maybe, although it’s the first time I’ve heard about this specific error.
