Categories selection on news records not showing in v10

[haassie]

Bug Report

Current Behavior If you edit a news item in TYPO3 v10, you will get a notification with an error 500. If you checkout the XHR request, you get the error: "Argument 1 passed to TYPO3\CMS\Core\Tree\TableConfiguration\DatabaseTreeDataProvider::__construct() must implement interface Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface, array given, called in /var/www/html/public/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Utility/GeneralUtility.php on line 3469".

As a result, the category field is not rendered properly.

Expected behavior/output I want to be able to choose categories ;-)

Environment

• TYPO3 version(s): [10.3.0-dev]
• news version: [e.g. 8.0.0-dev]
• Is your TYPO3 installation set up with Composer (Composer Mode): yes
• OS: ddev

Possible Solution In https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/62331 the usage of the DatabaseTreeDataProvider is been deprecated. The __construct method is changed resulting in an error now. Best is to migrate to PSR-14 events.

Additional context Problem is that those events are only for v10 and I guess you also want to support previous LTS version(s).

@haassie disabled the dataprovider for the moment, issue is open as this is of course no final solution

@georgringer I just found out that the DatabaseTreeDataProvider was commented in the current version of news because of this issue. However, when I uncomment it in TYPO3 11, everything seems to be working as expected. I will reactivate it through a TCA override in my installation, so I can live with it, but maybe you could verify my findings and thinking about enabling it, too?
