All of the sudden App.php Controller stops passing data to templates

I’m getting undefined variable errors throughout my site that once were not there. Here is my App.php file:

    <?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use Sober\Controller\Controller;

class App extends Controller

    public $playerAvatar;

    /*

     */

    protected function initVars()
    {
        $this->userId = get_current_user_id();
        $this->gamertag = get_user_meta($this->userId, 'msa_gt') ?? null;
        $this->avatar = get_avatar($this->userId);

        // set the players data to the users data by default, but then change it if there is a if the gamertag query param exists

        $this->playerGt = get_query_var('gamertag') ?? $this->gamertag;
        $this->playerWpId = $this->userId;
        $this->playerAvatar = $this->avatar;

        if($this->playerGt != $this->gamertag) :
            $args = array(
                'meta_key' => 'msa_gt',
                'meta_value' => $this->playerGt,
            );
            $user = get_users($args);

  • What are some of the specific errors you’re seeing?
  • What change with your site between when it last worked and when the errors started appearing?

Unless there’s some part of your class that you haven’t posted, I’m not sure how initVars() ever gets run, and if it’s never run then all the properties it’s meant to set are never set. Normally I’d think you’d call it from __construct() but this class doesn’t appear to have __construct() defined.
