Problem upgrading FRED to version 3.0 in MODX 2.8.7

I did. This one is super frustrating. There’s a lot more going on here.

The front end editing not working - was partly related to just having “Collections” extra installed and those Fred events enabled on it… despite not editing anything inside a collection or near one. This post pointed me to disabling the events on collections - and I updated Collections for good measure too:

github.com/modxcms/fred

Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: Cannot call a class constructor without |new|

lottaar

When working in Fred suddenly I can't load the front-end anymore. All I see is F…red's spinning "Preparing content" graphic. Get this error in the console: Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: Cannot call a class constructor without |new| (anonymous function) fred.min.js:20:476268 Also these warnings: [Warning] @babel/polyfill is loaded more than once on this page. This is probably not desirable/intended and may have consequences if different versions of the polyfills are applied sequentially. If you do need to load the polyfill more than once, use @babel/polyfill/noConflict instead to bypass the warning. (fredrtetinymce.min.js, line 1) [Warning] @babel/polyfill is loaded more than once on this page. This is probably not desirable/intended and may have consequences if different versions of the polyfills are applied sequentially. If you do need to load the polyfill more than once, use @babel/polyfill/noConflict instead to bypass the warning. (fredfaeditor.min.js, line 1) I tried uninstalling Fred and installing again, clearing cache etc, with no luck. Also tried different pages, different browsers and restarting MAMP. Fred 2.1.5-pl PHP 8.2/Apache/MAMP

After doing that, the front end issue I mentioned above went away, but now on editing the front end, I amd getting a number of 500 server errors I never got before all this.

and this related error in the php log:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class “modRequest” not found in \modx-core\components\fred\src\Traits\Endpoint\Ajax\RenderElement.php:119

I am using 2.8.6 - I am getting same problems if I update it to 2.8.7

Keep in mind this is a migration of a LIVE site to a staging site - again I have done this dozens (hundreds?) of times over the years and have never encountered this kind of collapsing after ensuring all db variables and config files are updated properly.

I test extra updates and major changes in this fashion BEFORE updating the live site. There is NO WAY I am updating any of these extras until this gets figured out!
