v160416: Undefined class constant ‘CACHE_PATH_NO_SCHEME’

[raamdev]

When Comet Cache Feed Caching is enabled (Comet Cache → Plugin Options → RSS, RDF, and Atom Feeds), a fatal error is produced whenever the cache is cleared (reproduced with Comet Cache Lite v160416):

PHP Fatal error:  Undefined class constant 'CACHE_PATH_NO_SCHEME' in /home/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/comet-cache/src/includes/classes/FeedUtils.php on line 232

This issue appears to be that FeedsUtil extends AbsBase, which itself does not extend AbsBaseAp, which is where the CachePathConsts interface is implemented.

So, it appears that FeedsUtil should extend AbsBaseAp instead of AbsBase.

This is a high-priority issue and I'll be pushing a maintenance release shortly to fix this issue. In the meantime, I recommend disabling Comet Cache Feed Caching (Comet Cache → Plugin Options → RSS, RDF, and Atom Feeds) to work around this issue.
