[4.x]: Error: Setting unknown property: craft\ckeditor\Field::configFile

[mattcdavis1]

What happened?

Description

After running php craft ckeditor/convert/redactor I get a message "Error: Setting unknown property: craft\ckeditor\Field::configFile" This error breaks the site in both CLI context and web. It's a database error so I'm not able to git reset --hard to revert this.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run php craft ckeditor/convert/redactor without a Default Redactor config
2. Select "no" for "Do you already have a CKEditor config that should be used..."

Thanks for reporting that! CKEditor 3.8.3 (Craft 4) and 4.0.3 (Craft 5) are out with a fix.

Unfortunately it’s not possible to fix retroactively, so you will either need to either:

• Restore a database backup, update CKEditor, and run ckeditor/convert again; or
• Search for configFile within all your now-CKEditor field configs within config/project/ and remove those lines, then run craft project-config/apply.

Great - thanks! Fortunately I ran this locally first so yeah a quick sync from prod got me back up and running.
