Illegal offset type in isset or empty pathauto.inc:180
In my scenario, I was using "simplexml_load_file" and getting values in variable. if ($child2->getName() == 'job_title') { print $node_title = $child2; } passing $node_title to node->title using node object and was saving it. It was working well in browser, when i was running script. But created a drush command for it 'drush impvac', which was resulting in docroot$ drush impvac Illegal offset type in isset or empty pathauto.inc:180 [warning] Illegal offset type pathauto.inc:223 [warning] It was because node->title was not getting a plain string from xml, so just added 'check_plain' to dp my stuff. if ($node_title != '') { $node->title = check_plain($node_title); } And all was set.
