The "pathauto_node_update_action" plugin does not exist.

I am still encountering this issue even after enabling the 'pathauto' and 'action' modules first.

I cleared the cache and ran the following command: drush migrate-import d7_action --update

Which results in the following error:

 [error]  The "pathauto_node_update_action" plugin does not exist. Valid plugin IDs for Drupal\Core\Action\ActionManager are: comment_unpublish_by_keyword_action, file_delete_action, file_permanent_action, file_temporary_action, node_assign_owner_action, node_unpromote_action, node_promote_action, node_make_sticky_action, node_unpublish_by_keyword_action, node_make_unsticky_action, user_add_role_action, user_block_user_action, user_cancel_user_action, user_remove_role_action, user_unblock_user_action, pathauto_update_alias, entity:delete_action:comment, entity:delete_action:media, entity:delete_action:node, action_send_email_action, action_goto_action, action_message_action, entity:publish_action:block_content, entity:publish_action:comment, entity:publish_action:media, entity:publish_action:menu_link_content, entity:publish_action:node, entity:publish_action:path_alias, entity:publish_action:taxonomy_term, entity:publish_action:paragraph, entity:save_action:block_content, entity:save_action:comment, entity:save_action:file, entity:save_action:media, entity:save_action:menu_link_content, entity:save_action:node, entity:save_action:taxonomy_term, entity:save_action:user, entity:unpublish_action:block_content, entity:unpublish_action:comment, entity:unpublish_action:media, entity:unpublish_action:menu_link_content, entity:unpublish_action:node, entity:unpublish_action:path_alias, entity:unpublish_action:taxonomy_term, entity:unpublish_action:paragraph, pathauto_file_update_action (/var/www/html/web/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Plugin/Discovery/DiscoveryTrait.php:53)
 

I did note that the system.actions config file is named: system.action.pathauto_update_alias_node.yml with the ID of 'pathauto_update_alias_node'. This differs from what the migration is looking for ('pathauto_node_update_action')... Perhaps this is part of the issue?

A workaround for this is to set the target explicitly in hook_migration_plugins_alter().

This requires a custom module; but in my case I already have one for other migration tasks so that isn't a big deal. This is my code in case it is useful for anyone else (you may need to adjust accordingly):

$pathauto_update_actions = [
  'pathauto_file_update_action',
  'pathauto_node_update_action',
  'pathauto_taxonomy_term_update_action',
  'pathauto_user_update_action',
];
foreach ($pathauto_update_actions as $pathauto_update_action) {
  $migrations['d7_action']['process']['plugin'][0]['map'][$pathauto_update_action] = 'pathauto_update_alias';
}

that could be added as a patch here.

That said, I also think this is a core bug, core shouldn't blindly assume that action plugins still exist and it should migrate non-existing ones.

berdir and I chatted about this is slack.

The d7_action migration is rather simple and will migrate what you give it. Perhaps as #8 alludes to this is a mapping problem. I see on a second read that it is failing on an update. So, #9 maybe on the right track as well.

To be sure, can someone provide a bare bones D7 db with the problem? If I have that I will also write a migration test, which in other cases has turned up other bugs. And then we can apply a fix.

I know this thread is over 2 years old. I'm trying to drush migration upgrade from d7 to d11 and still getting this error. I don't want to move on until this error is resolved.

I'm on version 8.x-1.13.

I also hit this issue on every migration. I just ignore it and it hasn't caused me any noticeable issues but it would be good to know exactly what the issue is and what the proper solution might be if anyone else knows?
