We recently purchased software that runs as an extension for Magento 2. We purchased a brand new VPS setup, and turned it over to them for installation. They completed the installation and got their product working, and turned the site/server back over to us, and everything seemed to be working fine.

I've been attempting to install some additional extensions through Magento's web component wizard, and kept getting the following error at the Cron readiness check:

Cron script readiness check failed.

Error from Updater Application Cron Script:
Cron job has not been configured yet

We configured the Cron Tasks and attempted to run them with bin/magento cron:run but then recieve the following error:

[Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException] 
Invalid Document 
Element 'type': Character content other than whitespace is not allowed because the content type is 'element-only'

The same error is also generated when attempting to run magento setup:upgrade

setup:upgrade trace

I'm fairly new to the Magento platform, and am in the dark as to exactly how everything was configured during installation since a third party installed it, so my question is how do I go about tracking down the source of this error? I've looked through just about every log I can find and can't seem to find it.

  • @AnkitShah remove the entire directory, or just delete the files within it?

  • @AnkitShah Also, it appears there are two var/generation directories, var/generation and var/generation1

  • It should be only one var/generation directory delete other directory

Turns out this was an issue with the custom module we had purchased, and was a result of an error in their di.xml file.

  • @Max So, I'm not 100% sure whether it was maybe a syntax issue, or maybe even an encoding issue, but when I had opened their di.xml file, character spacing was all over the place, random line breaks, etc. All I did was clean up the spacing and re-save the file and the issue disappeared.

  • I am facing similar issue and beautified all the XML files of third part module. Still I get the same error. How do I resolve this ?

  • @Vikram have you tried disabling/removing the extension to confirm that it is indeed the cause of the error? It may not be a syntax issue at all, there could be a number of issues wrong, referencing the wrong element, spelling typo, etc.

  • @codestr yes the issue is happening when I install a third party extension. If I uninstall, it do not give the exception. How do I resolve this ?
