Problem/Motivation

When testing Quant Search, I was confused why my image and summary weren't showing up. It turns out it was because the token module was not installed so the field tokens weren't working.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Follow https://www.quantcdn.io/blog/tutorials/add-quant-search-drupal-9-static-...
  2. View the search page
  3. Result: The image and summary show up
  4. Uninstall the token module
  5. Reindex the search index
  6. View the search page
  7. Result: The image and summary are missing
  8. Expected Result: Some sort of warning or logging or something that an invalid token is being used

Proposed resolution

  • Consider adding help text and/or a warning on /admin/config/development/quant/search/entities
  • Ideally, check that any tokens provided are available
  • Ideally, update documentation to note the token module is often needed when updating entity tokens
  • We could also consider adding the token module as a dependency for Quant Search even though technically it doesn't need to be enabled

Remaining tasks

  1. Figure out which tasks above will be done
  2. Update code
  3. Update documentation
  4. Review and test
  5. Commit :)
