Failure reason: 'Unable to unserialize value.'

Question

After upgrading Magento 2 to version 2.2.3 the php bin/magento setup:upgrade stopped working and throws error Failure reason: 'Unable to unserialize value.' Things I have already triex to do...

1: Remove cache:

php rm -rf var/di/* var/generation/* var/cache/* var/page_cache/* var/view_preprocessed/* var/composer_home/cache/*

2: Grant Permissions:

find . -type f -exec chmod -c 644 {} \; && find . -type d -exec chmod -c 755 {} \; ||||| Working

3: Deploy Static Content:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

4: Compile:

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

But none of the above worked. Any suggestions? Your help would be very much appreciated.

If you are getting this from custom module Please check following answer.

As per Magento 2.2 Release Note

Security enhancements

In general, we’ve removed serialize/unserialize from most the code to improve protection against remote code execution attacks. We’ve enhanced protection of code where use of object serialization or unserialization was unavoidable. Additionally, we’ve increased our use of output escaping to protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

So you need to inject \Magento\Framework\Serialize\Serializer\Json class for serialize and unserialize values.

use following code for serialize and unserialize values.

protected $serialize;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\Serialize\Serializer\Json $serialize
) {
    $this->serialize = $serialize;
}

public function serialize($value){
    return $this->serialize->serialize($value);
}

public function unserialize($value){
    return $this->serialize->unserialize($value);
}
