Node tokens no longer supported for comments.

Version: 9.x-dev » 8.0.x-dev
Issue summary: View changes

This seems like we'll run into it whichever version they're taken out of. Given migrate and that specific tokens aren't much of an API, moving back to 8.x at least for now.

Let's see a test coverage.
This [node] tokens could be provided by deprecated contrib module

Shouldn't this be id, not nid?

NO, :id would work only for entities that have ID as key, that's why I extended a test

These test changes look odd to me, why would we still test comment:entity:nid or comment:entity:title and support that?

I've added this tests because there's no coverage for [comment:entity:*] tokens and to make sure that removed functionality works by the new way

Why nid and title rather than id and label though?

in #7 I said that there's no such tokens - each token is Real entity field (name)

PS: filed new issue #2372465: Add unified entity tokens for ID and Label
