fix: #3629922 Home page not found when the default language is not English
Issue: https://www.drupal.org/i/3629922
Problem
recipe.yml sets the front page to the alias /home, and every default content file pins its alias to langcode: en. On a non-English install the default content importer moves each entity to the site language (Importer::verifyNormalizedLanguage() in core/lib/Drupal/Core/DefaultContent/Importer.php), but PathItem::postSave() in core/modules/path/src/Plugin/Field/FieldType/PathItem.php keeps an explicit alias langcode. The aliases stay en, so /home does not resolve in Portuguese and the front page is a 404. Same for every other alias and the menu links that point at them.
Proposed resolution
Drop the pinned langcode from the path field in 177 files under content/, so each alias takes its entity's language. Nothing else changes. An English install still gets English aliases.
How to test
- Install Drupal CMS with the Horizon Aid template and Portuguese as the default language.
- Open
/: the home page shows. Open/about,/donateand the main menu links: no 404. - Repeat in English: unchanged.
Remaining tasks
- Test on a real Portuguese install (so far verified by reading core and an alias lookup on an English site only).
-
drush content:exportwriteslangcodeon path items, so a future re-export can bring the pin back. Check exported content for it.
