[TYPO3-english] Unable to add Scheduler task in typo3 7.6.4 on HHVM

[Albert van der Veen]

Hi all,

Solved it for now by looking into 
typo3/sysext/scheduler/Classes/Controller/SchedulerModuleController.php

When moving the code between the try and catch on line 249 out of the 
try an error was shown in the typo3 BE when trying to add a task: 
'ReflectionMethod::__construct() takes either 1 or 2 arguments'. This 
error isn't catched and therefore no error was shown. It is a hhvm error 
(maybe php 7 also?), see 
https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/master/hphp/runtime/ext/reflection/ext_reflection_hni.php

Further investigation learned the error was generated by the Extbase 
scheduler task (TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Scheduler\Task), when looking for 
additional fields near line 688. Adding a check to skip this task 
'solved' the issue, so am able to create tasks now. Probably the code of 
that task is not updated but haven't investigated that.

Best,
Albert
