Using local.xml, I'm getting “Invalid Nesting” errors

Question

With the aim to simplify a lot of our layout XML, I've moved the pertinent parts of our individual files to one local.xml. Everything works fine. However, in the logs, I see errors like this:

2013-03-05T21:44:53+00:00 DEBUG (7): [INVALID NESTING!] Found: layout/package_update: catalog_product_view | Expecting: layout/db_update: SHORTCUT_uk_popup

The expected <update handle="SHORTCUT_uk_popup" /> node is in paypaluk.xml. I tried just adding it to the same area of my local.xml but didn't fix it.

I could just comment it out but I wanted to understand what the Best Practice way should be. Could anyone advise?

Answer 1

Looks like the message goes away when I uninstall Aoe_Profiler. So not sure if that fixes anything or just hides the message.

Answer 2

You are right that aoe_profiler causes the issue. The error you are getting is in relating to profiler 'buckets'.

ref: http://www.fabrizio-branca.de/magento-profiler.html and check the defining buckets section.

Varien_Profiler::start(‘<bucketName>’);

... code to profile in the bucket ....

Varien_Profiler::stop(‘<bucketName>’);

Basically what you have is one block defining a starting bucket, then another block inside the first starting a bucket, before the original bucket its closed.

I had this before, and can be safely ignored, unless you are in need to profile the parts in the buckets.

or disable your profiler ;)

It is just noise. If someone knows better, I stand corrected.

I prefer this als comment, but then it is unreadable.

I pasted your file to my system and ran it, it throw an error and I removed the following lines (I have a CE here):

<action method="cachePage">
    <expires></expires>
    <disqualifiers>cart,loggedin</disqualifiers>
    <holecontent>lightspeedcontent/hole/index</holecontent>
</action>

and it runs without error.

I think you made a cut&copy error in your paypaluk.xml. Please check, whether the XML is valid.
