Problem/Motivation

Found in πŸ“Œ [PP-1] Add support for matching SDC prop shape: {type: string, enum: …} Postponed
All field item constraints are not found when evaluating prop matches. There are couple problem with this.

  1. $complex_data_constraint = array_filter(
          $field_item->getConstraints(),
          fn ($c) => $c instanceof ComplexDataConstraint
        );
        if (!empty($complex_data_constraint)) {
          $field_item_level_constraints_indirect = reset($complex_data_constraint)
            ->properties[$field_property_name] ?? [];
        }
        else {
          $field_item_level_constraints_indirect = [];
        }
    

    $complex_data_constraint is an array but we only check the first element in the array. I have worked on temporary fix in #3456008 that I will bring in here and it does find more constraints

  2. $rekey = function (array $constraints) {
          return array_combine(
            array_map(
              fn (Constraint $c): string => get_class($c),
              $constraints,
            ),
            $constraints
          );
        };
    

    This is assumes that classes among multiple constraints will be unique but this is not necessarily the case. I haven't checked if we have any cases of this yet though.

  3. $field_item_level_constraints_direct = $field_item->getConstraints()[$field_property_name] ?? [];
    

    I think the array returned from getConstraints() is actually always a list so this will never have a key of the property name. In #3456008 I did through an exception if this was to ever happen and it was never hit in our tests.

    1. What does "all … are not found" mean? πŸ€” Do you mean "not all … are found"?
    2. This is indeed a tricky area, which is why there's this:
          // @todo Field item-level indirect vs direct constraints should not override each other. Investigate in Drupal core, this seems to be an oversight?
          // Field item-level constraints override property-level constraints.
      

      … because AFAICT Drupal core somehow does not (yet) provide infrastructure for this 🀯

    3. RE: points in issue summary:
      1. Correct, "always using the first element" is what I discovered (during a deep debugging session) Drupal core always does … but now I wish I had added a comment pointing to where in Drupal core that is happening 😬
      2. Excellent remark β€” I didn't discover that edge case at all, but you're right that it's absolutely possible. We should at minimum add an assert() that verifies there's an empty intersection, and when we find the first non-empty case, we should match Drupal core's existing behavior. Ideally, Drupal core should provide an API for this …
      3. I'm fine with that simplification β€” I see that FieldItemBase::getConstraints() also promises this, so I have no idea why I did that. Probably defensive programming? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    If after this docs + logic improvement, πŸ“Œ [PP-1] Add support for matching SDC prop shape: {type: string, enum: …} Postponed is still blocked, please open a new issue with a failing test case to show what the precise blocker is. This represents a step forward, so I'm going ahead and am merging this.
