Argument #2 ($status) must be of type int, null given, called

Hello,

Since I have made my site in production, I have seen a lot the error500 appear in Seolyzer and Google Search Console.

Here is my Drupal logs:

TypeError : Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse::__construct(): Argument #2 ($status) must be of type int, null given, called in /home/myuser/web/mysite/public_html/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/TrustedRedirectResponse.php on line 26 dans Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse->__construct() (/home/myuser/web/mysite/public_html/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/RedirectResponse.php ligne 35)

So the patch integrated in the other issue pointed by #7 is not good for my problem.

I’m not a developer, just a user. So I can't help more.

@floown I'm not sure why you have marked this fixed. Several people have had the same issue. Did you find something that fixed this issue for you?

Hi Kristen,

In fact, I have edit manually all the redirection that haven't switched to 301 code by default.

I have report to the 301 I had manually add in my .htaccess for respons quickly to error 500 I had.

My problem seems to be solved.

I have this issue, also from long ago Drupal 7 to 8 migration. Nobody ever reported any kind of issue, but I can see lots of errors in the logs.
Running this on my local database, then clearing cache seems to fix it:

UPDATE redirect
SET status_code = 301
WHERE status_code IS NULL;

There are 3024 NULL status codes that the above changes to 301.
My question: is this safe? I virtually never run commands in the database so it scares me a bit.
;-)
Thanks,
Rick
