Problem/Motivation

Enabling Page Cache produces this error on certain paths on a cache hit:

Argument 1 passed to Drupal\Core\Routing\RequestContext::fromRequest() must be an instance of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request, null given, called in core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/RequestContext.php on line 36 and defined in Drupal\Core\Routing\RequestContext->fromRequest() (line 42 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/RequestContext.php).

Here's the backtrace:

Drupal\Core\Routing\RequestContext->fromRequest(NULL) (Line: 36)
Drupal\Core\Routing\RequestContext->fromRequestStack(Object)
call_user_func_array(Array, Array) (Line: 329)

The root cause is that our RequestContext class does not take into account that the RequestStack can be empty and return NULL for getCurrentRequest(), although NULL is a valid case there.

As the stacktrace shows this can happen for example when a Url object is unserialized from cache, which calls down to RequestContext.

Proposed resolution

Fix RequestContext so that it takes potential NULL values from RequestStack into account and is more robust.

    This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request → as a guide.

    This will require a test case.

    Unit test case attached without the fix to demonstrate the fail. Bug also exists in Drupal 10.

    Reading the issue summary

    Figure out what is causing the error and resolve it.

    Was it determined what was causing it? What was causing the empty request?

    Ah sorry, did not fully update the issue summary. Done now.

    As shown in the stacktrace the error is caused when a Url object is unserialized and calls down to RequestContext. That can happen in a middleware where no current request was pushed onto the RequestStack yet.

    Thanks. Removing the assigned person as it's been 7 years.

    #16 does show the failure so will move this along to see what the committers say.

    Left a comment on the MR

    Can we reproduce this without a unit test, the test is slightly contrived - in reality most Drupal code will be running in the context of a request. It's the first thing we create in index.php.

    We have this problem when page_cache is deserializing a form because somewhere on the way the RequestStack is empty.
    We use open social and memcache, so several parts of code can cause this bug. The form is the enroll-action-form embedded in a block.

    The MR 3646 mitigated this problem.
