@APolitsin the problem is most likely in Pathauto config file format. The old configs can be converted to a new format by pathauto_update_8108 hook update.

Example configs fix for Anu LMS: https://github.com/systemseed/anu_lms/pull/191/commits/21e39eb0d18c43d5a...

Facing the same issue with Drupal 9.4.4

Temp fix in projects:

    "drupal/pathauto": "1.9.0 as 1.10.0",
    "drupal/ctools": "3.9.0 as 3.10.0"

This is not a pathauto issue per comments above, you do not need to downgrade it. The current release has been our since April.

If you do not need ctools otherwise I recommend testing pathauto 8.x-1.x-dev and uninstall ctools. More positive test feedback will result in that being released earlier.

The php 8 issue mention above should be fixed there as well.

Thanks, Sascha for clearing this issue off

Tested:
Even tho that pathauto 

    "require": {
        "drupal/token": "*",
        "drupal/ctools": "*"
    },

having the following as a temp fix worked

    "drupal/ctools": "3.9.0 as 3.10.0"

Following up on none Pathauto releated fixes in
#3300682: [error] Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context.
For other used locations like page_manager, panels, paragraphs, password_policy, total_control

I encountered the same issue, running
Chaos tools 4.01 as well as
Pathauto 8.x-1.11
under Drupal 9.4.8
PHP 8.1.11

Removing Pathauto resolved the issue. I cannot remove Chaos tools as it is a dependency for a few other modules.
This is the log for the failure:

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context. in Drupal\Core\Executable\ExecutablePluginBase->getContextDefinition() (line 184 of ./core/lib/Drupal/Core/Plugin/ContextAwarePluginTrait.php).

Downgrading `ctools` from `4.x` to `3.11` fixed the issue for me, according to https://www.drupal.org/project/ctools/issues/3300682#comment-14647155

Yes removing pathauto also resolved issue for me. Thanks

Edit: Installed pathauto again and found no issue. so it seems some issue with existing configurations saved. so uninstalling and installing pathauto solved the issue.

Related issues: +#3300682: [error] Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context.

Thanks to the solution pointed out at #7 and #12, from related ticket #3300682-90: [error] Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context., we were able to find the changes needed to the pathauto pathauto.pattern.*.yml.

Very much the same config as described at #11:

Tested with:

  • Drupal: 9.4.8
  • Chaos tools: 4.0.1
  • Pathauto: 1.11.0
  • PHP: 7.4

We encountered the same fatal error with the following stack trace, which led to this ticket:

Updating manually the files in pathauto.pattern.*.yml config files fixed the issue in our case.

Any additional feedback, questions, comments, suggestions or code contributions would be welcome.
Thanks again for sharing the solution to the issue.
