Placing the same custom block, more than once, with a period in the title, results in an Error.

Created on 11 March 2016, almost 9 years ago

Process:

1) Create custom block type.

2) Create a new block, of that new block type just created. [Give the block a title that contains a '.'] Example title: "This.is custom"

3) Go to block layout, and place that new block, in a region.

4) Place that same block in an additional region.. The error will occur at this point.

Drupal Will Log this error:

Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException: 'block' entity with ID 'moregreatpeople...' already exists. in Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageBase->doPreSave() (line 430 of /Users/micahjoyner/www/cmm.dev/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityStorageBase.php).

So, it appears that it can't seem to create a proper unique ID, for any additionally place block, if the title contains a period in it.

I tested this on Drupal 10.1.x, standard install and was not able to reproduce the problem.

The patch here is fixing this by changing code in /core/lib/Drupal/Core/Block/BlockBase.php. That code was removed in #3091309: Broken context-aware block plugins throw an unexpected exception → . I suspect this was fixed by that but can't be sure.

Therefore, closing as outdated. If you are experiencing this problem on a supported version of Drupal reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and provide complete steps to reproduce the issue → (starting from "Install Drupal core").

Thanks!
