• Asad Ullah: are you using any custom method where you call setUseContainer() ?

Answer 1

I think i should add another answer and leave previous answer as it is for knowledge purpose. I realized that i'm missing something. a very simple way to resolve this issue.

i have two overridden files which are causing this error customer_account_index.xml & wishlist_index_index.xml, i just add wishlist_item_pager block to it's right place. Here it is:

app/design/frontend/Magestore/theme/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account_index.xml

.
.
.
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist" name="customer.wishlist" template="customer_account_view.phtml" cacheable="false">
 <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Pager" name="wishlist_item_pager"/>
.
.
.

app/design/frontend/Magestore/theme/Magento_Wishlist/layout/wishlist_index_index.xml

.
.
.
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist" name="customer.wishlist" template="view.phtml" cacheable="false">
 <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Pager" name="wishlist_item_pager"/>
.
.
.

The code was introduced here: https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/19305

As a fix for: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/19292

So just check if you've overwritten the wishlist_index_index.xmland have a look if the wishlist_item_pager block is present.

Original code at: https://github.com/webkul-ratnesh/magento2/blob/4a149505a71c883a2c93740d3e4fb5c265a2d267/app/code/Magento/Wishlist/view/frontend/layout/wishlist_index_index.xml#L16

• Partab Saifuddin Zakir: Thanks mate, but i have another file customer_account_index.xml, which cause this error and wishlist_index_index.xml causing theme issue... I posted another answer.

Answer 3

Yes i solved my issue, maybe this is not a good way to solve it, but i've no better option, if you find better answer please let me know.

So their is a file in /vendor/magento/module-wishlist/Block/Customer/Wishlist.php, in this file their is a method _prepareLayout(), basically before Magento 2.3.1 their is only this code.

 protected function _prepareLayout()
 {
 parent::_prepareLayout();
 $this->pageConfig->getTitle()->set(__('My Wish List'));
 return $this;
 }

After that this method turned into this:

 protected function _prepareLayout()
 {
 parent::_prepareLayout();
 $this->pageConfig->getTitle()->set(__('My Wish List'));
 // $this->getChildBlock('wishlist_item_pager')
 // ->setUseContainer(
 // true
 // )->setShowAmounts(
 // true
 // )->setFrameLength(
 // $this->_scopeConfig->getValue(
 // 'design/pagination/pagination_frame',
 // \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE
 // )
 // )->setJump(
 // $this->_scopeConfig->getValue(
 // 'design/pagination/pagination_frame_skip',
 // \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE
 // )
 // )->setLimit(
 // $this->getLimit()
 // )
 // ->setCollection($this->getWishlistItems());
 return $this;
 }

And the error above cause due to this addition code, So i commented addition code and my error disappeared, I know its not good to do changes in vendor, also I have a overridden file /app/design/frontend/Magestore/theme/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account_index.xml, in this file their is code:

some code above...
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist" name="customer.wishlist" template="customer_account_view.phtml" cacheable="false">
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Rss\Link" name="wishlist.rss.link" template="rss/wishlist.phtml"/>
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist\Items" name="customer.wishlist.items" as="items" template="item/list.phtml" cacheable="false">
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist\Item\Column\Image" name="customer.wishlist.item.image" template="item/column/image.phtml" cacheable="false"/>
 <block class="Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist\Item\Column\Info" name="customer.wishlist.item.name" template="item/column/name.phtml" cacheable="false"/>
 </block>
 </block>
some code below...

This code needs the $this->getChildBlock('wishlist_item_pager'), which is not in customer_account_index.xml, and if i try to add or remove (<referenceBlock name="wishlist_item_pager" remove="true"/>) this block = wishlist_item_pager,but by doing this my custom theme messed up, so i decided to go with old _prepareLayout() method.

Thank You.

I had do add the missing block

<block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Pager" name="wishlist_item_pager"/>

to every block with the class Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Wishlist.
