Summary

preg_match() does not accept passing null as the $subject string parameter in PHP 8.1.

Thus first check that $subject !== null.

EXCEPTION: (RuntimeException) preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated at [<arcanist>/src/error/PhutilErrorHandler.php:261]
arcanist(head=master, ref.master=0e32dbc1ac8f), phorge(head=diffusionRepoPage, ref.master=5405134fa5db, ref.diffusionRepoPage=dbe5e3a68c41)
  #0 <#2> PhutilErrorHandler::handleError(integer, string, string, integer) called at [<arcanist>/src/error/PhutilErrorHandler.php:261]
  #1 <#2> preg_match(string, NULL) called at [<phorge>/src/applications/herald/typeahead/HeraldRuleDatasource.php:25]

Closes T15422

Test Plan

Applied this change; afterwards on the "Diffusion 🡒 Push Logs 🡒 Advanced Search" page at /diffusion/pushlog/?repositories=PHID-REPO-someRepositoryString, clicking the search icon for the "Blocked By" field correctly renders.the "Browse Herald Rules" overlay dialog, listing available Herald rules.

Event Timeline

Shorten 87 char line to pass linter

Thanks again :) Soft +1

Also here our phutil is maybe overkill since an emtpy string is a don't care. So a strict check anti-null is probably safer:

$raw_query !== null

Hard +1 in that case from me. Thanks again

Edted: also updating a bit the summary.

Use $raw_query !== null as requested

Thanks for your minimal change

(tip: no need to use brackets, but that is up to readability preferences I guess)
