It seems like there is an error with the context creation for the routing in this module.

I have a module that is trying to generate an url to the page with the view_mode_page route:

    $url = new Url(
      'view_mode_page.display_entity',
      [
        'view_mode' => 'apply',
        'entity_type' => 'node',
        'entity_id' => $node->id()
      ]
    );

But i get the following error:

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context. in Drupal\Core\Executable\ExecutablePluginBase->getContextDefinition() (line 184 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Plugin/ContextAwarePluginTrait.php).

Drupal\Core\Executable\ExecutablePluginBase->getContext() (Line: 116)

Drupal\view_mode_page\PathProcessor\DynamicPathProcessor->processOutbound() (Line: 108)
Drupal\Core\PathProcessor\PathProcessorManager->processOutbound() (Line: 388)

I have checked and the view mode exists. This might be an issue with only newer drupal versions i only got this issue after updating core from 9.3.3 to 9.4.4

It seems to break on the check `$definition instanceof ContextAwarePluginDefinitionInterface` in the ContextAwarePluginTrait::getContextDefinition line 176.

Disabling the "pathauto" module resolved the issue for me, however it remains an issue that needs addressing as that is merely a workaround. In addition, I have the "domain" module enabled, which is known to cause issues with other modules that require workarounds.

@robertmartin1961, thank you!
Thanks also @hikkypo for your post.
Well I thought I was doing something wrong! Was installing a new site and all looked good until I wrote a welcome page and 48hrs after, its problem solving mode! Despite figuring out the problem from the error message ("Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\ContextException: The context is not a valid context. in Drupal\Core\Executable\ExecutablePluginBase->getContextDefinition() (line 184 of /home/ndagr/public_html/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Plugin/ContextAwarePluginTrait.php")., and uninstalling the usual culprits modules, I was no near solving it.

I understand this file or part thereof would be depreciated in dv10.

I opened a merge request for this.

The error seems to be related to this change record: https://www.drupal.org/node/3120980

If you visit the overview page (/admin/config/search/view-mode-page), the 'content type' condition is marked as deprecated.

The MR fixes this and also an other deprecation: The usage of ContextAwarePluginBase in src/Plugin/view_mode_page/AliasType/EntityAliasTypeBase.php.

Note: You need to re-create your view-mode pages to get this working. We should implement an update hook to replace the deprecated condition.

Also I noted that if I use view mode page I get the error when viewing the page and also if I try to create a URL to that page.

So if my node bundle view mode page has the pattern:

/%/fulltext

And I try to create a link to the view mode page using the following code:

$fulltexturl = Url::fromUri('internal:' . $nodeurl->toString() . '/fulltext');

I get the same error:

Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\\Component\\Plugin\\Exception\\ContextException: "The context is not a valid context." at /www/dev/project-xxx/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Plugin/ContextAwarePluginTrait.php line 184

@daveiano thanks so much for the update and fix. I just grabbed this update and created a patch out of it as we have no idea how long it will take for the merge request to occur. Works on 2 production sites, provided you recreate the modes again.

@daveiano merge works great. Thanks for the patch @glynster but looks like it's missing the changes to src/Plugin/view_mode_page/AliasType/EntityAliasTypeBase.php.

As per: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/view_mode_page/-/merge_requests/3/diffs

Are these required? Apologies if i've misunderstood.

@mistergroove on my end just with the patch things were sorted and we needed a quick fix for 2 production sites. I have gone ahead and included the other file in the patch to be more complete.

@mistergroove The changes to src/Plugin/view_mode_page/AliasType/EntityAliasTypeBase.php are not needed to fix the issue. But these are Deprecations which will lead to problems in Drupal 10 and they are in the same context as this issue. So I thought I add these changes to the patch.

Sorry, I am just curious, why are you creating patch files manually? There is a "plain diff" link in the issue fork section!?

glynster commented

@daveiano I had no idea you could do that. Thanks for the tip, I always thought it had to be a .patch.

The patch in #18 PLUS the config update in #23 from AndySimple worked for me!

1) I applied patch #18 in composer.json and then by running composer update
2) Then went into my config sync folder, searched for: node_type
3) And then changed all instances related to view_mode_page from:
node_type
to
entity_bundle:node

then ran: drush cim
to import the manually modified config files
then
drush cr (as you do)

And voila! My view mode pages are back and working correctly! Thanks all, you saved my day, getting ready to take D10 live hopefully tomorrow. Cheers to you all.

Changing the status back to needs work as there are unresolved questions on the merge request. Further, the merge request doesn't do anything to solve the issue raised in #23. The fix in #23 is still a manual fix that should be taken care of programmatically with a migration/update.

I saw same issue as mentioned in #31. Patch #18 fails.

MR!3 ( #29) is applied but now other problems.

When creating a new pattern it shows

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "node_type" plugin does not exist

For existing patterns, I see the error mentioned in the screenshot below.
Only local images are allowed.

Looks like the 4.0.3 version includes the patch code. Maybe that is why you get `Could not apply patch` @btully.
Simply remove the patch should remove the error.

If this issue is indeed fixed, can we get a link to the issue and/or commit that updated the code?

Then we can mark this issue as "Closed (duplicate)" or "Closed (outdated)".

The issue is not yet fully fixed in 4.0.3, whithout patch or MR applied

When creating a new pattern it shows

Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "node_type" plugin does not exist

I don't have time to investigate more on this issue now but maybe the work on related issues "#3318559: Replace use of node_type condition" and " #3356400: Drupal 10 compatibility" may help to finish to solve this one, mainly the part on /src/Form/PatternEditForm.php file.

I can confirm that the patch from #37 applies to the latest v4.0.3 version of the module and everything is working as expected.
Setting to "Needs review" so the maintainers can have a look and provide feedback, if needed.
