Problem/Motivation
When I create an RSS Feed view and assign the RSS setting "Link" to my path field added to the View, I'm receiving the following (example):
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.</br></br><em class="placeholder">InvalidArgumentException</em>: The internal path component 'http://cmslocal.gfs.com/en-us/ideas/minding-the-menu-labeling-law' is external. You are not allowed to specify an external URL together with internal:/.
It seems like at some point the "Path" content field within Views now outputs an absolute URL. Or at least it does for me and I can't change it, even with the checkbox "Use absolute link (begins with "http://")" unchecked. Perhaps it's because my project is using the Domain module.
Regardless, I believe the RSS row plugin should allow both absolute and relative. I'm not sure there's a good reason it doesn't?
Steps to reproduce
- Create a views RSS feed display.
- Configure the display to show fields: Format > Show: Fields
- Add all required fields to the display.
- For the link field, use "Link to Content" and enable "Use absolute link" for this field.
- Configure the display's RSS fields:
- Map the link field to the link field create above in #4.
- Map the GUID field to the link field create above in #4, and enable "GUID is permalink".
- Save the view - however the preview most likely already failed
- View the page for the RSS feed
- Bug:

Proposed resolution
Update the \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\row\RssFields to detect absolute links and output them correctly.
