I have the same error message in my logs with NC 28 and can't tell where they are coming from. It is a freshly new (1 week old) NC installation.

can't tell where they are coming from

You have upgraded to PHP8: https://php.watch/versions/8.0/deprecate-required-param-after-optional

[ChristophWurst]

It is unexpected to see this logged with level 3 (error). Deprecations should only show up at loglevel=0 (debug)

I did not upgrade. The AIO package for Plesk is coming with 8.1.2 and PHP7 is EOL since quite a time. Even 8.1. is deprecated already according to the system requirements.

I have the same issue. Been using php8.3 since I installed it but didn't see these errors till I upgrade to nc29 and mail updated to 3.6.0. Also these aren't coming in on the debug log, they are coming in as errors.

I was curious what changed in our code that introduced this specifically in 3.6.0 and it was #9420 (somewhat ironically).

The deprecation changed to an error in PHP 8.1.0 so the two scenarios collided in 3.6.0:

As of PHP 8.0.0, but prior to PHP 8.1.0, the below emits a deprecation notice on the definition, but runs successfully when called. As of PHP 8.1.0, an error of class ArgumentCountError is thrown, as it would be when called with positional arguments.

So is there something I can do to get rid of these failures as a workaround?

[Sanookmakmak]

I have it too on a fresh installed Nextcloud 29 on Debian 12 with PHP 8.3

Nextcloud Hub 8 (29.0.0) Mail App 3.6.0

[dustbro]

Same here. fresh installed Nextcloud 29 on Ubuntu 22.04 with PHP 8.3 Nextcloud Hub 8 (29.0.0) Mail App 3.6.1

[RemmyLee]
