I have recently got a new error message in my Cron task when updating the Kinoindex. I have run the stringify command at a command prompt against a number of files and get this error message.

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Foswiki::Contrib::StringifierContrib::Plugins::Text" (perhaps you forgot to load "Foswiki::Contrib::StringifierContrib::Plugins::Text"?) at /home2/mydomain/public_html/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Contrib/StringifierContrib.pm line 39. mydomain@mydomain.com [~/public_html/foswiki/tools]# ./stringify ../pub/MyWeb/TopicName/Document.pdf

I cannot figure out whether this is a result of a recent update of extensions or not. All I know is is that it's a new "feature" which I'd like some help to resolve. It could be I've screwed up the Config setting, but I don't remember doing anything in there recently.

This is actually a bug in StringifierContrib, and looks like a duplicate of Item10026, so I will close this task and make an update on that task.

As a quick fix, you could use an older version of StringifierContrib, or try applying this patch (untested).

Thank you. The simple patch worked a treat.
