Problem/Motivation

Noticed this when testing

✨ D7: Add node/[nid] redirects automatically Needs work

When you change the entity alias, you don't get proper redirects.

Steps to reproduce

  • Install Drupal 7
  • Enable and configure quant, quant_api, quant_redirect and redirect modules
  • Use devel_generate to generate content
  • Edit a node with an alias and change the path to anotheralias to create a redirect
  • Edit the node again and change the path to anotheralias2 to create another redirect
  • Go to /anotheralias and it should redirect you to /anotheralias2
  • Go to Seed tab (/admin/config/services/quant/seed)
  • Check Export nodes, Export redirects and Trigger the batch
  • Click Save and Queue button
  • Look at Quant Dashboard redirects
  • Result: There is no redirect for /anotheralias to redirect to the /anotheralias2 alias
  • Expected result: Redirect should be present and work

    • Proposed resolution

    When processing the redirects during the seed process, figure out the current alias and create a redirect from the old alias to the current one.
