Problem/Motivation

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a view using a user contextual filter. Set the user contextual filter up to fall back to the current user.

2. Check the exported views YAML and see it has the route cache context.

This is because ArgumentPluginBase always adds the url cache context.

 /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function getCacheContexts() {
    $contexts = [];
    // By definition arguments depends on the URL.
    // @todo Once contexts are properly injected into block views we could pull
    //   the information from there.
    $contexts[] = 'url';

    // Asks all subplugins (argument defaults, argument validator and styles).
    if (($plugin = $this->getPlugin('argument_default')) && $plugin instanceof CacheableDependencyInterface) {
      $contexts = Cache::mergeContexts($contexts, $plugin->getCacheContexts());
    }

Proposed resolution

No idea, but if we had a way to specify that the argument is always going to come from the request and never from the URL it might be possible to skip this. Maybe a dedicated User-from-request argument implementing a different interface or something and this overrides that method to not add the URL cache context.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

We could just add a views argument option and let the site builder decide. Patch attached.

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
