Problem/Motivation

\Drupal\Core\Menu\Form\MenuLinkDefaultForm::$moduleData is never used, nor is it initialized

Proposed resolution

Remove it

Possibly implement __get to trigger a deprecation error if someone tries to access it?

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

@larowlan asked whether we should deprecate the property and provide BC, instead of removing it.

  • In general, we prefer to use deprecation and provide BC even for internal APIs.
  • However, since this property is already not initialized, no one subclassing this form is getting useful data from us anyway -- it's just NULL. So, it should at most raise a notice.
  • If they are setting a value themselves, that will also continue to work.

Therefore, I think we should go the simple route and just remove it.

Thanks!

Sorry for the noise, #2940189: Deprecate system_get_info() already removed it while cleaning up calls to system_get_info() - I was looking at 8.7 when I saw it.

This looks good to me, thank @amjad1233 - setting to RTBC on the assumption that the testbot likes it.

Normally, we wouldn't commit patches that have any chance of disruption to the production (patch release) branch, but in this chance it's so slight I think it's OK. Committed and pushed to 8.7.x.

Congratulations @amjad1233 on your first core issue credit!

Hi @xjm, Thanks for that. Next time I will make sure to check out the -dev branch before committing the patch.
Thanks once again.
