Sub form not passed to BlockPlugin's submit callback

Created on 28 February 2018, almost 7 years ago

Problem/Motivation

In #2537732: PluginFormInterface must have access to the complete $form_state (introduce SubFormState for embedded forms) β†’ , the SubFormState class was introduced for BlockPlugin's build/validate/submit callbacks, and additionally $form['settings'] (the sub form array) started getting passed to the build/validate callbacks, but not to the submit callback!

That means that $form is different in these two callbacks for everyone writing a BlockPlugin:

($form is $form['settings'] here)
public function blockValidate($form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {

($form is the complete/parent form here)
public function blockSubmit($form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {

Proposed resolution

We should fix this so that the $form argument passed to these callbacks is consistent.

Remaining tasks

Review the patch.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

The sub form is now passed to BlockPlugin's submitForm method, instead of the complete/parent form.

Data model changes

None.
