Language-neutral path aliases are not deleted with the parent entity

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 30 September 2025, 29 days ago

Problem/Motivation

In #2539634: PathItem::delete() never runs because the path field type is a computed field in disguise → we combined the code paths for deleting path aliases when the parent entity or just one of its translations are deleted, but forgot about language-neutral aliases.

Steps to reproduce

- on a site with at least two languages (e.g. English and French)
- create a node in the default site's language (e.g. English) without specifying an alias on the node form
- create a language-neutral alias for that node (from /admin/config/search/path/add)
- delete the node and notice that the path alias was not deleted
