Hi @AlexEdimensionz we will need much more details concerning this issue. This is because we have JCB and many other components already running on Joomla 4 and 5 and none of our components give this error.

Here are some considerations:

Do you have a custom folder path?
Can you run JCB in Joomla 3 on PHP 8.0 because this is the Joomla 3 limitation in relation to the files and folder classes of Joomla.
Can you give us the broken package (compiled package)?
If not can you give us the file that gives the error?
Did you update your PHP limits for both the Joomla 3 and 5 website?
Is this your own component or the demo component.
Are all the JCB plugins installed and activated and linked?

Please be sure to install JCB via the package link: https://git.vdm.dev/joomla/pkg-component-builder/archive/v3.2.0.zip

Any other information will also be helpful so we can try and reproduce the issue on our side.

No custom folder path
Tried on PHP8.0 and same issue
I have attached the broken package
php.ini mods are done (for both. updated globally and installed on the same server)
This is my own component
All JCB plugins are active

(This plugin is active and did run on J3 previously)

I did install from that link, yes

Here is a version compiled on CentOS 7.9 with PHP8.0

I can also export the JCB project and upload it if you want

Please remove the spaces in your component names.

So in JCB change the component code name from:
Travelous Oasis or travelous_oasis to TravelousOasis
Wyldcode Updater or wyldcode_updater to WyldcodeUpdater

This should fix your issue... and yes I know this means Joomla will see this as a new component and therefore its a pain. specially if you have this extension installed on Joomla 3 websites and want to upgrade the website with the existing data.

We have tried to catch this... but it is to hard... since its really a Joomla thing, or so it seems.

So this is the work-around for now... we might get a better solution going forward.

How to mitigate some of the pain is the add sql update statements to your pre-update area of the component that renames all your component tables to the new names, where the component has not spaces in its name.

Once you've don that, let me know it this issues remains unresolved.

I also noticed that you don't have any admin views set as main menu items. You should add those you want as sub menu... as main menu. The sub menu feature is not doing anything for now (going to Joomla 4 and 5), Joomla has taken over the sub menu, by merging main and sub menu into one. So if you want links to your admin views on the side of your component views, you need to check them as main menus for now.

I have deleted the links to you components, you could next time create a private repo and push the projects (packages) there instead... and just share the private link with us. That way it remains private.

Thank you!

That seemed to work. Weird because it was always that way before.
The issue now is that, even though I've disabled powers in the Component Settings and during compile, i get this error

Class "JCB\Component\Wyldcodeupdater\Administrator\Model\Super___0a59c65c_9daf_4bc9_baf4_e063ff9e6a8a___Power" not found

You can no longer disable power... totally as JCB must fetch them as needed (so you also need the system to be able to call out)

Once it has the powers it needs it normally does not need to fetch them again.

The power its looking for is found here: https://git.vdm.dev/joomla/super-powers/src/branch/master/src/0a59c65c-9daf-4bc9-baf4-e063ff9e6a8a

But I am sure it will need even more.... you can go to the powers area and click [init] this should also load them... so the compiler will not need to fetch them during the build.

Well Joomla 3 did not use namespace, while Joomla 4 and 5 does and PHP conventions does not deal kindly with underscores in namespaces. It gets little technical.

We have started moving thing out of the old Helper classes into a better stable maintainable class structures. This is why powers were created, and also why it has become a major part of JCB moving forward.

All working now! Thank you!
Will watch the "Super Powes" video to get a better idea of how to use them in my code
