Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function dirname()

[CvekCoding]

What happened?

My Symfony6 application can not start with the following error:

{"level":"error","ts":1711266796.1390681,"msg":"PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function dirname() in /app/public/index.php:5\nStack trace:\n#0 {main}\n  thrown in /app/public/index.php on line 5","syslog_level":"err"}

My Dockerfile relevant part where I build frankenphp:

#syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.4

# Custom Frankenphp build
FROM dunglas/frankenphp:latest-builder AS builder

# Copy xcaddy in the builder image
COPY --from=caddy:builder /usr/bin/xcaddy /usr/bin/xcaddy

# CGO must be enabled to build FrankenPHP
ENV CGO_ENABLED=1 XCADDY_SETCAP=1
ENV XCADDY_GO_BUILD_FLAGS="-ldflags \"-w -s -extldflags '-Wl,-z,stack-size=0x80000'\""

RUN xcaddy build \
	--output /usr/local/bin/frankenphp \
	--with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp=./ \
	--with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/caddy=./caddy/ \
	# Mercure and Vulcain are included in the official build, but feel free to remove them
	--with github.com/dunglas/caddy-cbrotli \
	--with github.com/dunglas/mercure/caddy \
	# Add extra Caddy modules here
	--with github.com/mholt/caddy-ratelimit

FROM dunglas/frankenphp:1 AS frankenphp_upstream

# Replace the official binary by the one contained your custom modules
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/frankenphp /usr/local/bin/frankenphp

My index.php file is standard:

<?php

use App\Kernel;

require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/vendor/autoload_runtime.php';

return function (array $context) {
    return new Kernel($context['APP_ENV'], (bool) $context['APP_DEBUG']);
};

Probably it's important: Im wrapping frankenphp with supervisor:

[program:caddy]
command=frankenphp run --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
numprocs=1
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=0
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0

So my container starts with Supervisor, which in turn runs Frankenphp and several other console listeners.

At the same time, a simple restart of the container sometimes helps and Frankenphp begins to process requests successfully

[dunglas]

This looks a lot like an opcache corruption issue: dunglas/symfony-docker#578

Do you use any custom opcache option?

[CvekCoding]

My opcache related configs.

#api/docker/frankenphp/conf.d/app.prod.ini

opcache.preload_user = root
opcache.preload = /app/config/preload.php

#api/config/preload.php

<?php

if (file_exists(dirname(__DIR__).'/var/cache/prod/App_KernelProdContainer.preload.php')) {
    require dirname(__DIR__).'/var/cache/prod/App_KernelProdContainer.preload.php';
}

[CvekCoding]

BTW the file /var/cache/prod/App_KernelProdContainer.preload.php doesnt exist

[CvekCoding]

Sorry, it does - this file exists in cache directory

[withinboredom]

If I'm understanding correctly, if dirname(__DIR__).'/var/cache/prod/App_KernelProdContainer.preload.php' doesn't exist when the container starts, you'll run into this bug. Since it is in the cache, I suspect that is what is going on?

[CvekCoding]

I think no. It's the same container and sometimes it runs to the issue, sometimes - not.

[withinboredom]

If you disable preloading, does the issue still occur?

[CvekCoding]

You are right. When I disabled this script, the issue gone

[fogrye]

in file #api/docker/frankenphp/conf.d/app.prod.ini opcache.preload should be the same as path to file #api/config/preload.php
