After migrating from 1.26 to 2.0/2.2, the execution of a batch on entity_delete does not work anymore.
function my_module_entity_delete(EntityInterface $entity) {
$batch_builder = (new BatchBuilder())
->setTitle(t('Deleting activities...'))
->setFinishCallback([myBatch::class, 'finishProcess'])
->addOperation([myBatch::class, 'updateProcess'], [$ids]);
batch_set($batch_builder->toArray());
}
class MyBatch {
public static updateProcess(): void {
sleep(2);
}
public static function finishProcess($success, array $results, array $operations) {
$this->messenger->addMessage('Example batch is finished!');
}
The issue comes from MetatagEntityFieldItemList::computeValue
$renderer->executeInRenderContext() break the flow of rendering. My understading is this is needed for JSON api.
My proposed solution is to avoid running metadata alter hooks if a batch has been set.
Reviewing patch and proposed solution.
Needs review
2.1
Context integration
Oh, that's an interesting scenario, thank you for reporting it and working out a possible fix.
I think the new code could probably be moved higher up in the method?
I thought that the assertion should still be first, but I can be wrong.
