Content Translation Delete Access check invalid argument error

Problem/Motivation

Upgraded to Drupal 8.5.x and after clearing the cache was presented with this error when visiting homepage and other node pages as authenticated or anonymous users:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Drupal\content_translation\Access\ContentTranslationDeleteAccess::checkAccess() must implement interface Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityInterface, string given, called in /var/www/html/web/core/modules/content_translation/src/Access/ContentTranslationDeleteAccess.php on line 69 in Drupal\content_translation\Access\ContentTranslationDeleteAccess->checkAccess() (line 81 of core/modules/content_translation/src/Access/ContentTranslationDeleteAccess.php).

Further investigation I discovered the "getParameter()" in this function was returning just the node ID, not the loaded entity for the route "entity.node.delete_form":

  public function access(RouteMatchInterface $route_match, AccountInterface $account) {
    $requirement = $route_match->getRouteObject()->getRequirement('_access_content_translation_delete');
    $entity_type_id = current(explode('.', $requirement));
    $entity = $route_match->getParameter($entity_type_id);
    return $this->checkAccess($entity);
  }

Proposed resolution

I don't understand why the getParameter function from RouteMatchInterface is doing this but a simple work around could be to refactor the access function to check for a valid entity and pass back neutral if not. Note: according to this issue https://www.drupal.org/node/2945956 further work TBC for revisions translation delete in Drupal 8.6.x. However not sure if problem is related to this previous fix - https://www.drupal.org/node/2945956 .

This is what I would propose to fix:

  public function access(RouteMatchInterface $route_match, AccountInterface $account) {
    $requirement = $route_match->getRouteObject()->getRequirement('_access_content_translation_delete');
    $entity_type_id = current(explode('.', $requirement));
    $entity = $route_match->getParameter($entity_type_id);

    if ($entity instanceof ContentEntityInterface) {
      return $this->checkAccess($entity);
    }

    // No opinion.
    return AccessResult::neutral();
  }

    This feel like a specific issue to your setup, I would have expected more mentions of this if it was a more common problem.

    If this is something generic we will need some steps to reproduce on a clean Drupal install. If anybody could provide those that would be nice, or if you found a solution that would be great too

    Thanks!

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue and it has not been supplied in over a year I am closing this issue.

    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
