$customerDataObject returning empty Object in magento 2.4.7?

Question

I have upgraded the magento from 2.4.0 to 2.4.7 latest version. When I try to register the new customer, then it is throwing the error: "There is already an account with this email address. If you are sure that it is your email address, click here to get your password and access your account."

When I check the code line by line, I found that this file "/var/www/html/protecta/vendor/magento/module-customer/Model/CustomerExtractor.php"

        }

        // Set store and website IDs
        $store = $this->storeManager->getStore();
        $storeId = $store->getId();
        $customerDataObject->setWebsiteId($store->getWebsiteId());
        $customerDataObject->setStoreId($storeId);

        // Check final customer data object
        $properties = $reflection->getProperties();
        $data = [];
        foreach ($properties as $property) {
            $property->setAccessible(true);
            $data[$property->getName()] = $property->getValue($customerDataObject);
        }
        file_put_contents(BP.'/var/log/failed-register.log', 'FinalCustomerDataObject : '.json_encode($customerDataObject).PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND);

        return $customerDataObject;
    }
}

When I log the file_put_contents(BP.'/var/log/failed-register.log', 'FinalCustomerDataObject : '.json_encode($customerDataObject).PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND);

Then is returning the empty value.

Answer 1

The above error mention that,

The Customer already exist with same email id, which you try to register.

Now here you have 2 ways.

1. So now try to register with different email id.
2. First remove that email address account from the magento admin, then try to register with same email address.
