Updating from 4.2.1 to 4.4.6 session bug

Hello  I updated from 4.2.1 to 4.4.6 using composer. I followed general tips after i had issues with kint renderer and index.php. There are no particular instructions in here to upgrade from that version to the latest .

No i get these warnings and the error on $this->session = \Config\Services:ession(); in my basecontroller.

Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Config\Exceptions::$logDeprecations is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/q/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/Debug/Exceptions.php on line 94

ErrorException

PHP Code:

namespace App\Controllers;

use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\CLIRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\RequestInterface;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

    protected $data=[];
    protected $language;
  
    protected $sessionData;
    /**

    protected $helpers = ['utils', 'date', 'menu','menu_helper','html'];

    public function __construct()
    {
        
 
        // Load helpers
        helper($this->helpers);
        
        
    }


    public function initController(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, LoggerInterface $logger)
    {
        parent::initController($request, $response, $logger);

        
        $this->session = \Config\Services::session();
        $this->language = \Config\Services::language();
        $this->language->setLocale($this->session->lang);
        // Preload any models, libraries, etc, here. 


The line :

PHP Code:

$this->session = \Config\Services::session(); 


is not working , the session is not initialized, and then i get the null value on all session operations. How is this happening? In version  4.2.1 it was not happening.

Any ideas? Did I miss something in the upgrade since I upgraded from a much older version of ci?

Cheers

    If you are using PHP 8.2, you need to add new properties $logDeprecations and $deprecationLogLevel
