String + Symfony Mailer causes circular reference for service 'entity_type.manager'

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 21 March 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

After installing the dev version of the String module (while upgrading a project to Drupal 11), I encountered the following fatal error:

"Circular reference detected for service 'entity_type.manager', path: 'easy_email.purger → entity_type.manager → string_translation → string_translator.string.defaults → plugin.manager.email_builder'."

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal 11.
  2. Install and enable String 1.0.x-dev.
  3. Install and enable Symfony Mailer (any version compatible with Drupal 11—I tried versions 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0).
  4. Clear the cache. The error appears.
  5. Disable any of the modules, clear the cache—the error disappears.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the String module, as similar issues have been reported for Symfony Mailer and were already fixed:
Issue #3355846 🐛 Circular reference on multi-language sites Fixed
Issue #3370109 🐛 Circular reference detected for service symfony mailer config override in multilingual sites Fixed

    The following code $this->themeHandler->getThemeDirectories(); in a Plugin manager is calling \Drupal::service('config.factory')->get('core.extension') somewhere down the lane. This apparently is resulting in circular dependency error.

    I have not yet figured out how the circular dependency is getting generator. However, doing something like $a = \Drupal::service('config.factory')->get('core.extension'); in https://git.drupalcode.org/project/string/-/blob/1.0.x/src/StringManager... results in this error.

    Not sure what is happening here.

    This can be reproduced only when clearing cache using Drush. The error appears during alternate invocation of cache clear using drush. Probably some cache issue.

    Clearing cache using Drupal's User Interface doesn't have this issue.

    Update:
    The problem appears when running `updb` as well

    This call seems to be causing the issue

     Drupal::service() at /var/www/html/web/modules/contrib/symfony_mailer/src/Processor/MailerConfigOverride.php:90

    The code at
    https://git.drupalcode.org/project/symfony_mailer/-/blob/1.x/src/Process...
    indicates by using \Drupal::service, the circular dependency should have been avoided.

          // We cannot use dependency injection because that creates a circular
      // dependency.
      /** @var \Drupal\symfony_mailer\Processor\EmailBuilderManagerInterface $builderManager */
      $builderManager = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.email_builder');
