Hello!
I finally tracked down the root cause for the existing json errors in #52188.
When a FormRequest is resolved from the container it calls the
FormRequest::createFrom()
method with theRequest
object that, among other things, sets the FormRequest json from the Request json.In the case where the Request does not have any content the
Request::json()
method is trying to decode an empty string as an associative array which results in a json syntax error.This PR fixes that error by converting the empty string to an empty json array before decoding.
Thanks!
