wp-cron.php missing file or directory /wp-personal-data-exports/

[dingo_d]

I updated the site where I have bugsnag, which will report any warnings and errors, and I got these errors

PHP Warning POST /wp-cron.php
opendir(wp-content/uploads/wp-personal-data-exports/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory

The stack trace is

/wp-admin/includes/file.php:143 list_files  
/wp-includes/functions.php:6015 wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files  
/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:286 WP_Hook::apply_filters 
/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:310 WP_Hook::do_action 
/wp-includes/plugin.php:515 do_action_ref_array 
/wp-cron.php:126[main]

I also got this warning

PHP Warning POST /wp-cron.php
closedir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

With the following stack

/wp-admin/includes/file.php:168 list_files  
/wp-includes/functions.php:6015 wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files  
/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:286 WP_Hook::apply_filters

/wp-includes/plugin.php:515 do_action_ref_array

It's related to the new privacy folder.

I'm not sure if that folder is created on clean install, but it's not created on update. Maybe that is the issue.

This sound like it'd be fixed by #44158. I'm guessing the folder couldn't be created on your server because of permissions issues.

Could be, the server is tightly set up. Thanks for clarification :+1:
