BlockComponentRenderArray::onBuildRender() does not check block access in Preview mode

Created on 5 May 2024, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

BlockComponentRenderArray::onBuildRender() does not check access to blocks before being rendered in the Edit Layout page for a given entity in Preview mode.

That could be problematic when Block::Access() prevents access to the block for any specific reason.

It could en up in fatal errors like the one reported in 🐛 Fatal error when accessing Navigation Blocks on a minimal profile installation because of the Shortcut block Needs work , where Block access is based on the presence of a 3rd party module.

Steps to reproduce

Install Drupal 11.x using Minimal profile and install Navigation module
Try to access to Navigation Layout settings page: /admin/config/user-interface/navigation-block
500 error is thrown because Shortcut module is not available

Proposed resolution

Check for block access in BlockComponentRenderArray::onBuildRender() before rendering it.

I think this is because the admin needs to be able to configure the block still

So we probably need a fallback

You were right.

Blocks need to be accessible for administrative purposes. Block itself has to ensure the logic in build() is safe enough and not rely on blockAccess() for logic that could throw unexpected exceptions.

Thank you for your help here.
