Use Twig parser to detect errors in Twig code entered in Views UI

Problem/Motivation

It was out of scope for #2396607-31: Allow Views token matching for validation (and remove dead code) → but we can add validation to Views UI to prevent saving invalid Twig now that the Views rewrite functionality uses Twig: https://www.drupal.org/node/2404639 →

Proposed resolution

Add some validation, example code:

try {
  $environment->parse($environment->tokenize($templateCode));
} catch (\Twig_Error_Syntax $e) {
  // Display validation error.
}

Remaining tasks

  • Patch
  • Tests
  • Review

User interface changes

Validation errors would be displayed.

API changes

TBD

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
