Find user by roles

[MoritzLost]

We have a query that's used to find all users with the member role, but without any of a number of other roles:

$users->find('roles=member, roles!=member-confirmed|login-disabled|superuser|editor, sort=created')

This used to work in previous ProcessWire versions. However, we recently updated ProcessWire (currently on 3.0.226). Now the query just returns all users, regardless of role.

Anyone know when this behaviour was changed? And how can we fix the query?

@ryan Since this is a breaking change, why wasn't there a minor or major version increase for whichever release changed this behaviour?

Hello @MoritzLost,

I had a similar issue with a selector a few weeks ago containing not equal to (!=) and an or-condition.

My issue was fixed, but maybe this could be related: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/1802

Regards, Andreas

@AndZyk Thanks Andreas! Looks like that was it, I updated to 3.0.229 and the query works correctly again.

Not sure why my colleague updated to a non-Master version, we usually don't do that. Lesson learned, I guess.
