 Description   

Based on https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/11562

 

What I did:

Registered a listener that runs a command as a player when they join the server:

public final class BukkitTestPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Listener() {
            @EventHandler
            public void onPlayerJoin(final PlayerJoinEvent event) {
                final Player player = event.getPlayer();

                Bukkit.dispatchCommand(player, "say Hello World!");
            }
        }, this);
    }
}

 

Excepted result:{}

On 1.21.1, the command runs as expected:

The same error occurs using `Player#performCommand` (which is the method used in the Paper issue), which makes sense since it looks like it just calls `dispatchCommand`.

Comment by Will Kroboth [ 03/Nov/24 ]

Just a note, I'm not sure if the `sender instanceof EntityPlayer` check in the commit that resolved this issue was intentional. As far as I can tell, `EntityPlayer` does not implement `CommandSender` and doesn't seem to have any subclasses, so this check would never be true. It was probably supposed to be `sender instanceof CraftPlayer` here.

However, I'm not sure how important this is, as that commit does still fix this issue. I believe the Player is just being treated as an Entity here. That commit also made it so `Entity#createCommandSourceStackForNameResolution` used a proper `ICommandListener` rather than `ICommandListener.NULL`, which ended up fixing this issue anyway.
