PluginNotFoundException: The "node_type" plugin does not exist

I've run in to a major issue with Pathauto where as soon as you try and add in a new Pattern that only targets a specific content type, it throws the following error:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "node_type" plugin does not exist. in Drupal\Core\Plugin\DefaultPluginManager->doGetDefinition() (line 52 of core/lib/Drupal/Component/Plugin/Discovery/DiscoveryTrait.php).

Digging around I found a somewhat related isse over on Ctools: https://www.drupal.org/project/ctools/issues/2638380 β†’
But I'm using a much newer version of the module so I wouldn't think it would be the cause of this issue.

Setup:
* Drupal 8.39
* PathAuto 1.0+3-dev
* CTools 8.3
* Token 1.0

And according to the release notes, required should be:
ctools 8.x-3.0
token 8.x-1.0

so we should be right.

Steps to reproduce

* Create a new Pattern via /admin/config/search/path/patterns
* Make the Pattern Type = "Content"
* Set whatever settings and titles you want and select just one content type for it to apply to
* Try and save the pattern
* See error message, changes to the pattern are not saved

    I looked at @daniel_j's comment first (#3) which was spot on, except for one minor thing:

    you can search-and-replace on all your pathauto.pattern.*.yml, changing references to node_type to entity_bundle.node.

    It should be entity_bundle:node

    Per example, in a pathauto.pattern.page_by_menu.yml, mine was:

    pattern: '[node:menu-link:parent]/[node:title]'
    selection_criteria:
      511dc248-86a2-425b-bb21-90da8d45e2d1:
        id: <strong>node_type</strong>
        bundles:
          contact_page: contact_page

    but should be:

    pattern: '[node:menu-link:parent]/[node:title]'
    selection_criteria:
      511dc248-86a2-425b-bb21-90da8d45e2d1:
        id: <strong>entity_bundle:node</strong>
        bundles:
          contact_page: contact_page

    .. assuming it's a node of course.

    Thank you so much @JeffC518!!!!

    This cropped up during our Drupal 10 upgrade.

    We run `blt install:drupal` during ci build on the server and when it tried importing these into a fresh database, it choked and died with the OP's error. Changing the slection_criteria id to entity_bundle:node solved it.

  • Hi,

    Where exactly is has to be changes ? I dont see any pathauto.pattern.* yaml files with already mentioned code :

    pattern: '[node:menu-link:parent]/[node:title]'
    selection_criteria:
      511dc248-86a2-425b-bb21-90da8d45e2d1:
        id: node_type
        bundles:
          contact_page: contact_page
  • Edit . It works now. I had to change it in different module, Not here in pathauto.

  • Hi @coaston, which module did you change it in? I'm facing a similar thing

  • Hi gshreeGs

    in my case it was triggered by different module View Mode Page and this fix resolved it : 3300706 πŸ› Context exception when trying to create url (Drupal 10 is broken!) RTBC

    However it is connected somehow with CTools as described in #12 so the best way for you is to go to Admin > extend > Chaos Tools and see which of your contrib modules use it (Required by:) and I am sure that one of this modules have to be updated as they are not ready for D10.

    Thanks @Webbeh β†’ #12 Helps me a lot!

  • First commit to issue fork.

    For some reason the after upgrading the core and module it didn't update my pattern files, so you will need to change them manually (pathauto.pattern.YOURNODE.yml).

    So just change the id from this:

    selection_criteria:
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
        id: node_type
    

    Into this:

    selection_criteria:
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
        id: 'entity_bundle:node'

  • πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺUnited Arab Emirates ThirstySix

    after update, it works well.

    config sync file: pathauto.pattern.workshop.yml
    from
    id: node_type
    to
    id: entity_bundle:node

    run drush cim
    solved! Thanks #23
