Remove no longer needed _current_path() fallback for early bootstrap

Let's see what fails.

Ahem.

Well, that was less than I expected :)

nice!
I guess we should now mark it as deprecated and also completely remove _current_path() ?

Yeah, paris is right.

Hm. Can we not just keep this function as a convenience wrapper? It's called a lot from preprocess functions and .module files according to #2239009-6: Remove public direct usage of the '_system_path' request attribute, and those things can never be dependency-injected.

We're keeping current_path(), #7 was about the helper _current_path() (with the underscore)

Oops. My mistake.

Let's see what bot thinks of this.

any reason arg() is moved around here? i dont really see the reason and it will unneedlessly break other patches, eg #788900: Deprecate and remove usages of arg()

this fixes #13

Thanks. I'm happy with #14. Since many hunks in the patch are mine, I'm refraining from RTBC'ing, especially since the Views pager related changes are not entirely trivial.

the Views pager changes look valid to me and since moving around arg was not intentional, according to #15, i feel comfortable with RTBCing this

This is preventing pager navigation in case you have contextual filters enabled, and you enter a filter value in the 'Preview with contextual filters' textbox. I'm no expert here, but suspect that's somewhat to do with the path finally built and the routing system.

This somehow relates with #2066207: Views UI preview does not retain Contextual filters on pagination; in HEAD, pager navigation is working actually, but contextual filters are lost on any click on pager links. With #14 contextual filters are retained, but no pager navigation :(

The patch attached builds on #14 and attempts to solve the lack of navigation by moving the contextual filters to a query parameter instead of appending to the path. Not sure it's the right way to go though...

this sounds like a different issue to me and seems an issue already exists. lets deal with this there?

Fine with me. Just let's be aware that view preview pager navigation with contextual filters won't work, temporarily.

Patch to review is still #14.

in HEAD, pager navigation is working actually, but contextual filters are lost on any click on pager links.

this doesnt sound like it works?

Since in HEAD, _current_path() and _system_path are not automatically sync'ed, the above hunk is not a no-op, and likely responsible for causing the functional change described in #17. Therefore, let's postpone this on getting the correct functionality into HEAD, along with a test, in #2066207: Views UI preview does not retain Contextual filters on pagination.

#2251061-25: arg(0) returns path prefix with Language Path Negotiation enabled is wondering if we should wait on this, or try and fix _current_path()

noting this is the @todo from #1183208: Remove variable_get('clean_url') and switch to index.php/path pattern for dirty URL support

That function does not longer exists, yeah!
