Error on editing categories in Magento 2

Question

I've inherited a Magento 2 site and am getting an error when trying to save changes in the dashboard to categories "There has been an error processing your request"

Is the below a theme compatibility error? - we've just updated the site to 2.1.8.

The log for the errors looks like - any pointers much appreciated:

The method referenced in the error above:

 /**
 * Image data preprocessing
 *
 * @param array $data
 *
 * @return array
 */
 public function imagePreprocessing($data)
 {
 if (empty($data['image'])) {
 unset($data['image']);
 $data['image']['delete'] = true;
 }
 if (empty($data['thumb_nail'])) {
 unset($data['thumb_nail']);
 $data['thumb_nail']['delete'] = true;
 }
 return $data;
 }

• Sohel Rana: Show your Plazathemes\Override\Controller\Adminhtml\Category\Save::imagePreprocessing.
• JcG: Thank you for helping :-) I've added the imagePreprocessing method to the question above.

Answer 1

Replace imagePreprocessing by following code:

/**
 * Image data preprocessing
 *
 * @param array $data
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function imagePreprocessing(array $data)
{
 if (empty($data['image'])) {
 unset($data['image']);
 $data['image']['delete'] = true;
 }
 if (empty($data['thumb_nail'])) {
 unset($data['thumb_nail']);
 $data['thumb_nail']['delete'] = true;
 }
 return $data;
}

• JcG: Awesome thank you - a quick fix :-) Is this just something that's changed in latest Mage 2.0 update?
