      PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in mod/forum/classes/task/refresh_forum_post_counts.php on line 73

      code block reads:

          protected function update_null_forum_post_counts(): bool {
      		 
              global $CFG, $DB;
      		 
       
      		 
              // Default to chunks of 5000 records per run, unless overridden in config.php
      		 
              $chunksize = $CFG->forumpostcountchunksize ?? 5000;
      		 
       
      		 
              $select = 'wordcount IS NULL OR charcount IS NULL';
      		 
              $recordset = $DB->get_recordset_select('forum_posts', $select, null, 'discussion', 'id, message', 0, $chunksize);
      		 
       
      		 
              if (!$recordset->valid()) {
      		 
                  $recordset->close();
      		 
                  return false;
      		 
              }
      		 
       
      		 
              foreach ($recordset as $record) {
      		 
                  \mod_forum\local\entities\post::add_message_counts($record);
      		 
                  $DB->update_record('forum_posts', $record);
      		 
              }
      		 
       
      		 
              $recordscount = count($recordset);
      		 
              $recordset->close();
      		 
       
      		 
              return ($recordscount == $chunksize);
      		 
          }

      Emitted during a cli cron job, which in turn emails me with the warning. Since it's buried within a cron task run, I'm not sure of the state which is required to reproduce the warning, but the recordset must not implement Countable, so this function probably needs a slight rewrite to clear the warning.
