Errors being thrown from bp-groups

[groston]

I found a number of error messages of the type:

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php on line xxx

in the site’s debug.log file. In each case, the object that does not exist is $group and the errors occurred when a new group was being created. Though I am a true PHP/WordPress novice, to me, this feels like a bug. It seems that the routines in which these lines of code exist expect to get a group data object from the database, i.e., an existing group, but before the group is stored to the database, the object is empty.

If this notion is correct, this bug should be fixed.

@groston - Thanks for the report.

It would help if you also provided the line numbers and provided us with a list of steps to duplicate so we can determine the cause of these notices.

r-a-y: My apologies, should have provided more details.

The warnings are thrown when a new group is created. I just created a group on our test site and found the following in debug.log:
