Call To Undefined Method getUserFactory()

[WillP-1]

Hi there,

I have installed this fork on my MW server and got the following error:

[ZR2GJ1vfaLpntRMuxbsNNAAAAA4] /index.php?title=My_Page Error from line 120 of /var/www/XXX/XXX/XXX/web/extensions/PDFEmbed/PDFEmbed.hooks.php: Call to undefined method MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices::getUserFactory()

If I link a PDF and click show preview, I can see the PDF shown fine. If I click the submit button I get this error.

MediaWiki 1.34.0
PHP 7.2.34 (cgi-fcgi)
PDFEmbed | 3.0.1 (27cd011)

Is this a known issue or have I setup the extension incorrectly?

Thankyou,
Will.

Hello, @WillP-1. MediaWiki 1.34 has been announced as "end of life" almost 3 years ago. The version 3.x of PDFEmbed have backward compatibility till MW 1.35 (I know that, because I've provided it). IMO, the actual issue is that the required version still continuous to be 1.29.

Hi @pa4080, thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately, I'm not in control of the version of ME we use and we likely wouldn't update it at this time. Is there an older version of PDFEmbed we could use that would support version 1.34?

Thanks.

Hi, @WillP-1, probably the owner of the repository @WolfgangFahl will now better, but I think you can try to checkout some of the commits before Nov 13, 2020.
