Problem/Motivation

  • The Varbase Starter recipe sets the front page to the alias /home (page.front: /home), and its default content pins every path alias to English (path: - alias: ..., langcode: en).
  • During a non-English install, core's default content importer moves each content entity to the site's default language (Importer::verifyNormalizedLanguage()), but PathItem::postSave() keeps the explicit langcode: en. The aliases stay English while the pages do not.
  • Drupal looks aliases up in the current language, so /home does not resolve: the front page and every page reached by alias return 404.
  • Same bug as Horizon Aid #3629922 (MR !119), reproduced there with a Portuguese (pt-pt) install: home 404 without the fix, 200 with it.
  • An installed copy of this recipe has 6 pinned aliases. The MR will report the count on the current 1.0.x HEAD.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal CMS and pick the Varbase Starter site template, or run drush site:install drupal_cms_installer installer_site_template_form.add_ons=varbase_starter --locale=pt-pt
  2. Choose Portuguese (or any non-English language) as the default language.
  3. Open the home page: "Page not found".
  4. Repeat in English: the home page renders.

Proposed resolution

  • Remove the pinned langcode from the path items in the recipe's default content, so each alias follows its entity's language. English installs are unchanged.

Maybe the version should not be specified.
