The term name argument validator has an option to convert dashes to spaces in the argument value, which means that you can have a URL like 'myview/term-name-with-spaces'.
The argument validator handles this correctly, but the query that is run with this by the term name argument is incorrect. With a simple view of article nodes and the tags field that comes OOTB with core, I get this clause in the query:
WHERE (( (taxonomy_term_field_data_node__field_tags.name = 'has-spaces') )AND(( (node_field_data.status = '1') )))
ORDER BY node_field_data_created DESC
Argument validator plugins only return a boolean from validateArgument(), but on D7 the equivalent function views_plugin_argument_validate_taxonomy_term::validate_argument() doctored the argument value on the argument handler like this:
if ($term && (empty($vocabularies) || !empty($vocabularies[$term->machine_name]))) {
if ($type == 'convert') {
$this->argument->argument = $term->tid;
}
There doesn't seem to be any provision for this in D8 -- argument validator plugins don't seem to be able to influence the argument value that the rest of the view uses.
