As pointed out by vayu on http://drupal.org/node/1986996 already, Drupal8 throws an error during the installation process which says:
"The service definition 'request' does not exist."The same happens to me during the installation of the most current Spark distro.
After briefly checking the code I found that it is the Symfony framework which causes this error message. Below you will find an extraction of the particular code of the file ContainerBuilder.php in /core/vendor/symfony/dependency-injection/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/. Starting line is number 783, ending line is 803. It seems as if the called service was not defined or does not exist:
<?php
/**
* Gets a service definition.
*
* @param string $id The service identifier
*
* @return Definition A Definition instance
*
* @throws InvalidArgumentException if the service definition does not exist
*
* @api
*/
public function getDefinition($id)
{
$id = strtolower($id);
if (!$this->hasDefinition($id)) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('The service definition "%s" does not exist.', $id));
}
return $this->definitions[$id];
}
?>Could it be that this issue is somehow linked to the new Guzzle framework (http://guzzle.org)?After all it is the thingy now which does the RESTful stuff!
