Research direction

Start with samples/V1/DatasetServiceClient/create_dataset.php and trace the createDataset call into vendor/google/gax/src/RequestBuilder.php:174, where the reported warning occurs. Reproduce the tabular dataset request with the stated PHP and package versions, then verify that the example completes without the foreach warning and creates the dataset.

Steps to reproduce
  1. I'm use the example https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php-ai-platform/blob/main/samples/V1/DatasetServiceClient/create_dataset.php for create a Dataset for Tabular data, when I called the example I have the next error:
foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given

The code it's the same of the example https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php-ai-platform/blob/main/samples/V1/DatasetServiceClient/create_dataset.php.

Code example

// The called to function are:

 $formattedParent = DatasetServiceClient::locationName('lab-ia-430919', 'us-central1');
        $this->create_dataset(
            $formattedParent,
            'example-ventas',
            'gs://bucket-ia-example/schemaDatasetVertexAI.yaml'
        );


    function create_dataset(
        string $formattedParent,
        string $datasetDisplayName,
        string $datasetMetadataSchemaUri
    ): void {
        // Create a client.
        $datasetServiceClient = new DatasetServiceClient();

        // Prepare the request message.
        $datasetMetadata = new Value();
        $dataset = (new Dataset())
            ->setName($datasetDisplayName)
            ->setDisplayName($datasetDisplayName)
            ->setMetadataSchemaUri($datasetMetadataSchemaUri)
            ->setMetadata($datasetMetadata);
        $request = (new CreateDatasetRequest())
            ->setParent($formattedParent)
            ->setDataset($dataset);


        // Call the API and handle any network failures.
        try {
            /** @var OperationResponse $response */
            $response = $datasetServiceClient->createDataset($request);
            $response->pollUntilComplete();

            if ($response->operationSucceeded()) {
                /** @var Dataset $result */
                $result = $response->getResult();
                printf('Operation successful with response data: %s' . PHP_EOL, $result->serializeToJsonString());
            } else {
                /** @var Status $error */
                $error = $response->getError();
                printf('Operation failed with error data: %s' . PHP_EOL, $error->serializeToJsonString());
            }
        } catch (ApiException $ex) {
            printf('Call failed with message: %s' . PHP_EOL, $ex->getMessage());
        }
    }
