'RequestFactory::fromGlobals() cannot be called statically' error on upgrading Nette

Question

I'm currently doing a major upgrade on a Nette based website. We have multiple custom DI extensions, custom ORM and use the Nittro UI framework. So the upgrade is quite involved. Going from PHP 7.2 -> 8.4 and Nette 2.2 -> 3.2. I have been able to solve tens of errors, but not this one.

I get Non-static method Nette\Http\RequestFactory::fromGlobals() cannot be called statically error whenever I try to load a page. This error (according to Tracy) seems to be coming from the following segment of the auto-generated DI container:

public function createServiceHttp__request(): Nette\Http\Request
{
    return Nette\Http\RequestFactory::fromGlobals();
}

The thing is, I don't create the service anywhere, it's Nette's - and I guess, that it comes from Nette\Bridges\HttpDI\HttpExtension line 56:

$request = $builder->addDefinition($this->prefix('request'))
            ->setFactory('@Nette\Http\RequestFactory::fromGlobals');

I have tried going down ->setFactory - but I can't even find it on the Definition class. More over I probably have misconfigured my debugger as it won't stop on breakpoints in the cached container.

How do I fix this? Can I perhaps replace the http.request service with one of my own?

Thanks in advace!

This is part of my composer.json:

    "require": {
        "php": ">=8.4",
        "ext-pdo": "*",
        "ext-pdo_firebird": "*",
        "ext-curl": "*",
        "ext-json": "*",
        "ext-libxml": "*",
        "ext-simplexml": "*",
        "nette/application": "3.2.*",
        "nette/bootstrap": "3.2.*",
        "nette/forms": "3.2.*",
        "nette/http": "3.3.*",
        "nette/security": "3.2.*",
        "nette/di": ">=3.2",
        "nette/caching": "3.3.*",
        "nette/robot-loader": ">=4",
        "tracy/tracy": ">=3",
        "nittro/nette-bridges": "*",
        "symfony/console": ">=7.3",
        "latte/latte": ">=3",
        "jahudka/porm": "^0.1.0",
        "jahudka/component-events": "*"
    }

(some of the things are linked from forked repos, not the public versions)

Downgrading to "nette/di": "3.2.4"solved the issue. In my case, i just had to set "prefer-stable": true in composer.json.

The problem turned out to be in Nette\DI itself. It was quite a ride to debug, because the problem only manifests itself, when running PHP without a debugger! With a debugger enabled, the container gets created with the proper function, which is supposed to be:

public function createServiceHttp__request(): Nette\Http\Request
{
    return $this->getService('http.requestFactory')->fromGlobals();
}

Thanks to user @rixafy on the Nette Discord server who proposed downgrading as the solution.

I managed to track down where setFactory is defined.

https://github.com/nette/di/blob/master/src/DI/Definitions/ServiceDefinition.php#L62

https://github.com/nette/di/blob/master/src/DI/Definitions/Statement.php#L34

https://github.com/nette/di/blob/master/src/DI/Definitions/Reference.php#L39

Maybe with this will provide you the information you need to finish debugging the issue. I'm not a Nette user myself so it doesn't really tell me much but it might be just what you need.
