PHP errors accessing GPX cache with version 1.7.11

[Ben]

Wordpress 6.7.2, PHP 8.0.30, Apache 2.4.62, WP-GPX-Map 1.7.11

At some point, and I’m not sure which update caused this, I began getting PHP errors on my pages showing WP-GPX-Maps:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: ssh2_sftp_mkdir(): Argument #1 ($sftp) must be of type resource, null given in /home/benmassey/www/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ssh2.php:703

The exact error depends on which FS_METHOD I have defined in wp-config.php; I get different errors with direct and the FTP ones. This is SSH2, which is my usual setting.

This is something to do with it talking to the file system when dealing with the cache. If I just comment out lines 352 – 356 in wp-gpx-maps.php:

/*
        if ( ! ( $wp_filesystem->exists( $gpxcache ) && $wp_filesystem->is_dir( $gpxcache ) ) )
        {
                $wp_filesystem->mkdir( $gpxcache, 0755, true );
                //@mkdir( $gpxcache, 0755, true );      
        }
*/

…I get different errors, although the code is looking for a .tmp file path that does exist. If I comment that out and set $skipcache to true, the plugin works.
