Problem/Motivation
#2864680: Spec Compliance: JSON API's schema disallows duplicate resource identifiers. EntityReferenceItems which reference the same entity must have an "arity" added an arity key to relationships returned by jsonapi to avoid an error when a reference field contains the same entity multiple times.
However, we have a similar problem when returning data about a specific field.
The previous fix only applies to ResourceIdentifier
, but when querying a field, jsonapi returns normalized ResourceObject
and those don't have an arity key.
Steps to reproduce
- Create an entity with a reference field and add the same entity multiple times in this reference field.
- Browse to
/jsonapi/[entity_type]/[bundle]/[uuid]/[field_name]
(real life example:/jsonapi/paragraph/carrousel/2f03a78f-1d0a-43e5-a6ee-6fb0fd8a90f7/field_images
). - You get this error:
A JSON:API response failed validation (see the logs for details). Please report this in the issue queue on drupal.org
(However /jsonapi/[entity_type]/[bundle]/[uuid]
does not have the same error because there, the relationship has arity keys.)
Proposed resolution
jsonapi should add an arity key on duplicated ResourceObject
objects.
The arity logic from ResourceIdentifier
should probably be refactorized to be used by other classes.
