SendGrid\\Client::makeRequest(): Argument #3 ($body) must be of type ?array, SendGrid\\Mail\\Mail give

[AdamDomafoldi]

PHP 8.4

SendGrid 8.1.11

I get this error message when sending an email:

SendGrid\Client::makeRequest(): Argument #3 ($body) must be of type ?array, SendGrid\Mail\Mail give called in /var/www/html/my-project/vendor/sendgrid/php-http-client/lib/Client.php on line 662

My code:

 $fromEmail = "info@example.com";
        $fromName = "Example Solutions";

        $email = new Mail();
        $email->setFrom($fromEmail, $fromName);
        $email->addTo($Email, $Name);
        $email->setSubject("Subject");
        $email->addContent("text/plain", "Find attached the spec sheet.");
        $email->addContent(
            "text/html", "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP</strong>"
        );

        
        $sendGrid = new \SendGrid($_ENV['SENDGRID_API_KEY']);

        $sendGridResponse = $sendGrid->send($email);
        if ($sendGridResponse->statusCode() === 202) {
         
        } else {
            throw new Exception("Caught exception: " . $sendGridResponse->body());
        }

Can confirm. I am receiving the same error response when attempting to send messages. This was working on previous releases. Full error message below.

SendGrid\Client::makeRequest(): Argument #3 ($body) must be of type ?array, SendGrid\Mail\Mail given, called in /app/vendor/sendgrid/php-http-client/lib/Client.php on line 662

[DanRyan483]

The error appears to be resulting from line 511 in SendGrid\Client::makeRequest()

public function makeRequest($method, $url, ?array $body = null, ?array $headers = null, $retryOnLimit = false)

probably should be:

public function makeRequest($method, $url, \SendGrid\Mail\Mail|array|null $body = null, ?array $headers = null, $retryOnLimit = false)

Note: the docblock above it is outdated as well on line 503

[DanRyan483]

After digging through https://github.com/sendgrid/php-http-client repo, it appears this should be handled over there since the affected code is not in this repo: sendgrid/php-http-client#170.

@DanRyan483 It has been broken at least since 8.1.9, I am trying to go back to the last working version.

[chrisShick]

I am getting this issue when we updated our dependencies today. However, our productions are still working on 8.1.2

[chrisShick]

However, when updating our local environments back down to 8.1.2, it still throws this error

[chrisShick]

Does this #1123 fix the issue?

[DanRyan483]

I haven't had the chance to check #1123. For now, I have temporarily forced sendgrid/php-http-client to 4.1.1 via composer on my repo to get around the issue until it gets patched.

composer require sendgrid/php-http-client "4.1.1"

From what I can tell, the issue is just a declaration problem in the makeRequest() method (see my previous notes). After rolling back to 4.1.1 everything appears to be working as expected.

Edit: just for refererence, I'm pretty sure this issue was triggered by the following commit (see line 511): sendgrid/php-http-client@c859858

Facing this problem here (PHP 8.1) - SendGrid version 8.1.2 up to 8.1.11 give the same error. Using 8.1.1 here works as before.

I'm getting same error since yesterday.

"php": "^7.3|^8.0",
"laravel/framework": "^8.65",
"sendgrid/sendgrid": "^8.1",

Hi! We are working on fixing this. Will be releasing the fixed version at the earliest

[tiwarishubham635]

I have raised a PR to fix this. Will get this merged and release the new version of php-http-client that should solve this issue. Thanks!

I think you can update the send function in this package and serialize the email if u want to keep the type in the other package:
/**
* Make an API request.
*
* @param Mail $email A Mail object, containing the request object
*
* @return Response
*/
public function send(Mail $email)
{
return $this->client->mail()->send()->post($email->jsonSerialize());
}

[tiwarishubham635]

I think we would like to figure out better ways to get the deprecation out as well as not breaking anything. So, will create a separate PR for new changes
