Running into issues on a site running Magento 2.2.0-rc3.0/PHP 7.0.23



The following issue occurs with all 3rd party extensions either enabled or disabled.



When adding an item to comparison from category or product page or submitting a review from product page we get the following error in the browser:



1 exception(s):

The error does not go away unless you clear cookies, in particular, the mage-messages cookie.

The problem is in /vendor/magento/framework/Serialize/Serializer/Json.php there is a function unserialize($string) which gives you a syntax error if string is serialized (not json but php serialization).



There is a workaround - you can check if string is serialized (vs json-encoded) and then use serialize($string). Change unserialize to:



public function unserialize($string)
{
if($this->is_serialized($string))
{
$string = $this->serialize($string);
}
$result = json_decode($string, true);
if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to unserialize value.');

}
return $result;
}


and add function to check if string is serialized:



function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
{
// Bit of a give away this one
if (!is_string($value))
{
return false;
}
// Serialized false, return true. unserialize() returns false on an
// invalid string or it could return false if the string is serialized
// false, eliminate that possibility.
if ($value === 'b:0;')
{
$result = false;
return true;
}
$length = strlen($value);
$end = '';
switch ($value[0])
{
case 's':
if ($value[$length - 2] !== '"')
{
return false;
}
case 'b':
case 'i':
case 'd':
// This looks odd but it is quicker than isset()ing
$end .= ';';
case 'a':
case 'O':
$end .= '}';
if ($value[1] !== ':')
{
return false;
}
switch ($value[2])
{
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
break;
default:
return false;
}
case 'N':
$end .= ';';
if ($value[$length - 1] !== $end[0])
{
return false;
}
break;
default:
return false;
}
if (($result = @unserialize($value)) === false)
{
$result = null;
return false;
}
return true;
}


After save fe. category without problem, You can restore class to default and there wont be such problem in future.

  • Check what happens if the value a:0:{} is passed. Go line by line. What happens if the result of unserialize is passed to a strong typed method that is expecting an array? You might want to change your answer.

I was able to resolve this issue by Flushing my Redis Cache from the CLI



redis-cli flushall


I hope this helps future users.

Do not edit core files for solution. Override following way
Just put following line in di.xml inside etc directory



<preference for="MagentoFrameworkSerializeSerializerJson" type="NamespaceModuleNameSerializeSerializerJson" />


And inside NamespaceModuleNameSerializeSerializer Directory: file Json.php



<?php
namespace NamespaceModuleNameSerializeSerializer;



class Json extends MagentoFrameworkSerializeSerializerJson
{


/**
* {@inheritDoc}
* @since 100.2.0
*/
public function unserialize($string)
{
if($this->is_serialized($string))
{
$string = $this->serialize($string);
}
$result = json_decode($string, true);
if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to unserialize value.');

}
return $result;
}


function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
{
// Bit of a give away this one
if (!is_string($value))
{
return false;
}
// Serialized false, return true. unserialize() returns false on an
// invalid string or it could return false if the string is serialized
// false, eliminate that possibility.
if ($value === 'b:0;')
{
$result = false;
return true;
}
$length = strlen($value);
$end = '';
switch ($value[0])
{
case 's':
if ($value[$length - 2] !== '"')
{
return false;
}
case 'b':
case 'i':
case 'd':
// This looks odd but it is quicker than isset()ing
$end .= ';';
case 'a':
case 'O':
$end .= '}';
if ($value[1] !== ':')
{
return false;
}
switch ($value[2])
{
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
break;
default:
return false;
}
case 'N':
$end .= ';';
if ($value[$length - 1] !== $end[0])
{
return false;
}
break;
default:
return false;
}
if (($result = @unserialize($value)) === false)
{
$result = null;
return false;
}
return true;
}
}


Works perfectly

    The implementation is flawed. What happens if the value a:0:{} is passed to Json:unserialize method? Is it the desired behaviour? What is the point of the result variable in is_serialized method? It's not returned and it doesn't have impact over anything as at method call no variable is passed as second argument.

  • This should be the accepted solution, and is much better than the post above to edit the file directly in vendor. More than likely, you'll have to run the setup upgrade task locally and then again on staging/production, so it'll have to persist environments and vendor/ directory is an artifact created at build time.

  • @vitoriodachef I'm facing the exact case you have mentioned. Do you have found any solution?

    – Knight017
    Dec 5 '18 at 4:50











  • I have used following function to decide private function isSerialized($value) { return (boolean) preg_match('/^((s|i|d|b|a|O|C):|N;)/', $value); }

It turned out to be a permissions issue, where magento was setting permissions for generated files that were restricted on this server.



Solved by creating magento_umask file in the root directory with the appropriate umask for the server.



See http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/install-gde/install/post-install-umask.html for additional details.

It's mostly related with Redis cache, so try to flush out this with simple command in your SSH



redis-cli flushall

    Sameers' answer above worked for me although i had to use different code in the block.



    public function serialize($data)

    $result = json_encode($data);
    if (false === $result) {
    throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to serialize value.');

    function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
    {
    // Bit of a give away this one
    if (!is_string($value))
    {
    return false;
    }
    // Serialized false, return true. unserialize() returns false on an

    // false, eliminate that possibility.
    if ($value === 'b:0;')
    {
    $result = false;

    }
    $length = strlen($value);
    $end = '';

      After flushing Redis the issue has sorted.
      Thank you Craig for the solution.



      I'm using port 6379 for cache, so I run command :



      redis-cli -p 6379 flushall

        ROOT directory
        1. public_html/vendor/magento/framework/Serialize/Serializer/Json.php



        Download JSON.php https://gist.github.com/manojind/9f18bbecaeb3e2bbfb056a634ade62a2



        2. Just replace below function (unserialize) and add new function OR just download the attached file and replace with default



        public function unserialize($string)
        {
        if($this->is_serialized($string))
        {
        $string = $this->serialize($string);
        }
        $result = json_decode($string, true);
        if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to unserialize value.');

        }
        return $result;
        }


        3. Add new function :



        function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
        {

        if (!is_string($value))
        {
        return false;
        }

        if ($value === 'b:0;')
        {
        $result = false;
        return true;
        }
        $length = strlen($value);
        $end = '';
        switch ($value[0])
        {
        case 's':
        if ($value[$length - 2] !== '"')
        {
        return false;
        }
        case 'b':
        case 'i':
        case 'd':
        $end .= ';';
        case 'a':
        case 'O':
        $end .= '}';
        if ($value[1] !== ':')
        {
        return false;
        }
        switch ($value[2])
        {
        case 0:
        case 1:
        case 2:
        case 3:
        case 4:
        case 5:
        case 6:
        case 7:
        case 8:
        case 9:
        break;
        default:
        return false;
        }
        case 'N':
        $end .= ';';
        if ($value[$length - 1] !== $end[0])
        {
        return false;
        }
        break;
        default:
        return false;
        }
        if (($result = @unserialize($value)) === false)

          I was getting the error in a CMS page in front end.



          It was the Magento widget code in the CMS Page Content that was causing problem(which I copied from another source). I deleted the widget code and inserted the same widget using the Insert Widget button in the CMS Page edit screen and it worked.



          The above process formatted the widget code differently and it made the error go away.

            I found out that whole serialized data cannot be fit into a database MySQL table column with TEXT data type.
            I just found the column flag_data value of system_config_snapshot line is trimmed.



            I had to change it to MEDIUMTEXT for this column flag.flag_data.

              I personally found this issue reared it's head running the command:



              php bin/magento setup:upgrade


              After a migration. I found out that I was missing the "crypt" hash key in src/app/etc/env.php:



              <?php
              return [
              'backend' => [
              'frontName' => 'admin'

              'crypt' => [
              'key' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
              ],

              ...

                The problem is in /vendor/magento/framework/Serialize/Serializer/Json.php there is a function unserialize($string) which gives you a syntax error if string is serialized (not json but php serialization).



                There is a workaround - you can check if string is serialized (vs json-encoded) and then use serialize($string). Change unserialize to:



                public function unserialize($string)
                {
                if($this->is_serialized($string))
                {
                $string = $this->serialize($string);
                }
                $result = json_decode($string, true);
                if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
                throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to unserialize value.');

                }
                return $result;
                }


                and add function to check if string is serialized:



                function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
                {
                // Bit of a give away this one
                if (!is_string($value))
                {
                return false;
                }
                // Serialized false, return true. unserialize() returns false on an
                // invalid string or it could return false if the string is serialized
                // false, eliminate that possibility.
                if ($value === 'b:0;')
                {
                $result = false;
                return true;
                }
                $length = strlen($value);
                $end = '';
                switch ($value[0])
                {
                case 's':
                if ($value[$length - 2] !== '"')
                {
                return false;
                }
                case 'b':
                case 'i':
                case 'd':
                // This looks odd but it is quicker than isset()ing
                $end .= ';';
                case 'a':
                case 'O':
                $end .= '}';
                if ($value[1] !== ':')
                {
                return false;
                }
                switch ($value[2])
                {
                case 0:
                case 1:
                case 2:
                case 3:
                case 4:
                case 5:
                case 6:
                case 7:
                case 8:
                case 9:
                break;
                default:
                return false;
                }
                case 'N':
                $end .= ';';
                if ($value[$length - 1] !== $end[0])
                {
                return false;
                }
                break;
                default:
                return false;
                }
                if (($result = @unserialize($value)) === false)
                {
                $result = null;
                return false;
                }
                return true;
                }


                After save fe. category without problem, You can restore class to default and there wont be such problem in future.

                • Check what happens if the value a:0:{} is passed. Go line by line. What happens if the result of unserialize is passed to a strong typed method that is expecting an array? You might want to change your answer.

                The problem is in /vendor/magento/framework/Serialize/Serializer/Json.php there is a function unserialize($string) which gives you a syntax error if string is serialized (not json but php serialization).



                There is a workaround - you can check if string is serialized (vs json-encoded) and then use serialize($string). Change unserialize to:



                public function unserialize($string)
                {
                if($this->is_serialized($string))
                {
                $string = $this->serialize($string);
                }
                $result = json_decode($string, true);
                if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
                throw new InvalidArgumentException('Unable to unserialize value.');

                }
                return $result;
                }


                and add function to check if string is serialized:



                function is_serialized($value, &$result = null)
                {
                // Bit of a give away this one
                if (!is_string($value))
                {
                return false;
                }
                // Serialized false, return true. unserialize() returns false on an
                // invalid string or it could return false if the string is serialized
                // false, eliminate that possibility.
                if ($value === 'b:0;')
                {
                $result = false;
                return true;
                }
                $length = strlen($value);
                $end = '';
                switch ($value[0])
                {
                case 's':
                if ($value[$length - 2] !== '"')
                {
                return false;
                }
                case 'b':
                case 'i':
                case 'd':
                // This looks odd but it is quicker than isset()ing
                $end .= ';';
                case 'a':
                case 'O':
                $end .= '}';
                if ($value[1] !== ':')
                {
                return false;
                }
                switch ($value[2])
                {
                case 0:
                case 1:
                case 2:
                case 3:
                case 4:
                case 5:
                case 6:
                case 7:
                case 8:
                case 9:
                break;
                default:
                return false;
                }
                case 'N':
                $end .= ';';
                if ($value[$length - 1] !== $end[0])
                {
                return false;
                }
                break;
                default:
                return false;
                }
                if (($result = @unserialize($value)) === false)
                {
                $result = null;
                return false;

                • Check what happens if the value a:0:{} is passed. Go line by line. What happens if the result of unserialize is passed to a strong typed method that is expecting an array? You might want to change your answer.

                  The implementation is flawed. What happens if the value a:0:{} is passed to Json:unserialize method? Is it the desired behaviour? What is the point of the result variable in is_serialized method? It's not returned and it doesn't have impact over anything as at method call no variable is passed as second argument.

                • This should be the accepted solution, and is much better than the post above to edit the file directly in vendor. More than likely, you'll have to run the setup upgrade task locally and then again on staging/production, so it'll have to persist environments and vendor/ directory is an artifact created at build time.

                • This should be the accepted solution, and is much better than the post above to edit the file directly in vendor. More than likely, you'll have to run the setup upgrade task locally and then again on staging/production, so it'll have to persist environments and vendor/ directory is an artifact created at build time.

                  The implementation is flawed. What happens if the value a:0:{} is passed to Json:unserialize method? Is it the desired behaviour? What is the point of the result variable in is_serialized method? It's not returned and it doesn't have impact over anything as at method call no variable is passed as second argument.

                It turned out to be a permissions issue, where magento was setting permissions for generated files that were restricted on this server.



                Solved by creating magento_umask file in the root directory with the appropriate umask for the server.



                See http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/install-gde/install/post-install-umask.html for additional details.

                                redis-cli -p 6379 flushall

                                  After flushing Redis the issue has sorted.

                                                I was getting the error in a CMS page in front end.



                                                It was the Magento widget code in the CMS Page Content that was causing problem(which I copied from another source). I deleted the widget code and inserted the same widget using the Insert Widget button in the CMS Page edit screen and it worked.



                                                The above process formatted the widget code differently and it made the error go away.

                                                        I just found the column flag_data value of system_config_snapshot line is trimmed.



                                                        I had to change it to MEDIUMTEXT for this column flag.flag_data.
