Comment (by siliconforks):

 Note that it has always been documented that the earliest you can access
 the current user is in the `init` action.

 https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/hooks/action-reference/#actions-run-
 during-a-typical-request

 So I would not expect it to work before `init`.  (But it might make more
 sense to display a useful error message instead of crashing due to a
 missing function.)
