Unless I'm missing something, we definitely cannot allow
path_alias
entities to be exported, at least not automatically. Why? Because the system path stored in the entity is going to include things like/node/3
, which uses a non-portable serial ID.So that's a dead end.
Therefore, I think the
path
field on entities needs to be exported as part of the entity. Since that is probably one of the only computed fields that needs to be exported with an entity -- if not the only such field, at least in core -- I would propose we add a normalizer specifically for this purpose to thepath_alias
module, which momentarily (non-persistently) marks thepath
field of an entity as being non-computed so it will be exported.
