Fix extra slash in redirect for profiles that define finish_url

Created on 4 March 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The install_goto() function expects a relative path even though since Drupal 7 paths should have a leading slash. This causes an extra leading slash to be added, resulting in a redirect or error after installation completes.

Proposed resolution

Add leading slash to installer paths before calling install_goto().
To avoid breaking profiles that depend on install_goto() to add a leading slash to their finish_url, strip the leading slashes from paths in install_goto() and continue adding the leading slash.
Deprecate using a relative path for finish_url
Remove the workaround in Drupal 12.

API changes

Using a path without a leading slash in the finish_url value of an install profile is deprecated.

Data model changes

None.

Proposed solution doesn't line up with the MR.

But if this is breaking installation definitely should have test coverage
