"Update URL alias of an entity" causes error because its not getting account info?

This looks like an issue in the pathauto module, so I'm moving that issue over.

The method \Drupal\pathauto\Plugin\Action\UpdateAction::access looks like this:

  public function access($object, AccountInterface $account = NULL, $return_as_object = FALSE) {
    $result = AccessResult::allowedIfHasPermission($account, 'create url aliases');
    return $return_as_object ? $result : $result->isAllowed();
  }

So, that allows $account to be NULL and it uses that to call AccessResult::allowedIfHasPermission which doesn't accept NULL for the account. So, before calling that method, the pathauto plugin needs to verify if account is NULL, and if so, load the current user.

It seems the steps to reproduce are from the ECA module, Could you please add the steps to reproduce with Pathauto module only that would be helpful.

@jurgenhaas

  public function access($object, AccountInterface $account = NULL, $return_as_object = FALSE) {
    $result = AccessResult::allowedIfHasPermission($account, 'create url aliases');
    return $return_as_object ? $result : $result->isAllowed();
  }

In the following code snippet I do not see any check for when $account is NULL because the function allowedIfHasPermission has this argument as required https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Core%21Access%21...

Thanks
