Joomla 5.0.0 and VM 4.2.0

[ptogel]

I installed Virtuemart and received "Installation of the package was successful."

But when I try to go in the Admin to Virtuemart Configuration, I receive the error:

An error has occurred.
0 You must specify a non-empty path to clean

If I go to the ControlPanel of Virtuemart, I get the same error plus this:

No Shop Currency defined! Go to ...com/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop

With debug on, I get:

An error has occurred.
0 You must specify a non-empty path to clean

Any idea what is that? And how can I fix it? Or does VM not with Joomla Version 5.0.0

J5/VM not properly tested by the dev team, but see comment from Milbo in this thread: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=150604.msg537965#msg537965

So I guess VM 4.2 is not ready. I was hopping to use VM as I used it a lot over the years. But in this case, the Joomla 5.0 site is already active and I need a solution now. So I guess we have to switch to another solution that is Joomla 5 ready...

The latest member VM release from yesterday has some updates for J5.

Fix is easy:
- edit the file JROOT\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\shopfunctions.php
- find line 1322 (or 1316 - check the 2nd line in debug)
- simply change it to 'if ( !empty($safePath) ) $safePath = JPath::clean($safePath);' from '$safePath = JPath::clean($safePath);'

Save and try again.
