Magento 2.1.8 issue Undefined variable: imageBlockBuilder

Question

I got following error in Magento 2.1.8 in my custom theme e.g. mytheme.

Exception #0 (Exception): Notice: Undefined variable: imageBlockBuilder in /home/public_html/app/design/frontend/Company/mytheme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list/items.phtml on line 220

Answer 1

As imageBlockBuilder is no longer used in Magento 2.1.8
To fix above error do following:
Replace:

$productImage = $imageBlockBuilder->buildBlock($_product, $imageDisplayArea);

with

$productImage = $block->getImage($_product, $imageDisplayArea);

Here $imageDisplayArea may be different variable in your case, change it as per your need.
