FieldPluginBase::renderAsLink() loses language prefix for tokenized paths

Problem/Motivation

  • Add a field to a View where you can type in a path and render it as a link, and then type in a path that includes token (e.g., {{nid}}). Or, import the views.view.test_dropbutton.yml View, which has that (the "Custom text" field).
  • Enable the Language module, add a language to the site, and then go to that View's page with a language prefix. E.g., if using the test_dropbutton View, go to http://example.com/en/test-dropbutton.
  • Notice that the link (e.g., the "Custom text" link) takes you to a URL that no longer has that language prefix.
  • The problem is that FieldPluginBase::renderAsLink() calls Url::fromUri('user-path:...') on the tokenized path, and while tokenized, that doesn't match a route, so falls back to 'base:', which does not apply language prefixing (since you don't want language prefixing for unrouted paths). Then tokens are replaced, but we're already in the base: scheme, so too late.

Proposed resolution

Run the path (technically a URI at the point in the code) through the path validator to convert to a routable Url() object.

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.
