Class 'Mage_Googlecheckout_Helper_Data' not found

Question

We\'ve just upgraded from Magento version 1.8.0.0 to 1.8.1.0 and now when we go to the configuration section of our site we receive the message:

Fatal error: Cla         


        

Answer 1

Oddly I recently got this on a Magento 1.9.2.3 install.

The cause is the following missing from the app\code\core\Mage\GoogleCheckout\etc\config.xml

<global>
...
    <helpers>
        <googlecheckout>
            <class>Mage_GoogleCheckout_Helper</class>
        </googlecheckout>
    </helpers>
...
</global>

Results in the autoloader not being able to find the helper file hence reverting to checking for Mage_Googlecheckout.

Answer 2

If you will delete files then google checkout will not work.

I found this answer useful.

<helpers>
        <googlecheckout>
            <class>Mage_GoogleCheckout_Helper</class>
        </googlecheckout>
    </helpers>
