Magento2: getUrlPath() not working correct with store views with url-fallback

[matin73]

Preconditions (*)

1. Magento 2.3.x
2. PHP 7.2.119

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Create some store views for different countries - f.e. de, de_at, de_ch, en and en_gb
2. Add categories and use for de, de_at and de_ch same url (all 3 store views are in german - so name of category is same) by using checkbox "Use Default Value" vor field "url_key".
3. Translate category for english store views "en" and "en_gb". Use also checkbox "Use Default Value" vor field "url_key".
4. Add function to shop $this->categoryRepository->get($this->registry->registry('current_category')->getId(), $value['store_id'])->getUrlPath() (f. e. to generate hreflang-tag)

Expected result (*)

1. URL in hreflang-tag should look like:
   https://www.domain.com/de/kategorie-german.html
   https://www.domain.com/de_at/kategorie-german.html
   https://www.domain.com/de_ch/kategorie-german.html
   https://www.domain.com/en/category-english.html
   https://www.domain.com/en_gb/category-english.html

Actual result (*)

1. But URL in hreflang-tag look like:
   https://www.domain.com/de/kategorie-german.html
   https://www.domain.com/de_at/category-english.html
   https://www.domain.com/de_ch/category-english.html
   https://www.domain.com/en/category-english.html
   https://www.domain.com/en_gb/category-english.html

The problem is, that there is no entry in table catalog_category_entity_varchar for store views using "Use Default Value" vor field "url_key".

Hello,@matin73 ! I can't reproduce this issue on fresh 2.3-develop. Can you give me more steps to reproduce or update your added steps with more details?
Thanks!

[matin73]

@engcom-Bravo did you make some module with this function?

[engcom-Bravo]

@matin73 i edit this:

[matin73]

please try with some custom module

[matin73]

and please try with store views id like this:
de = ID 1
en = ID 2
de_at = ID 3
de_ch = ID 4
en_gb = ID 5

Because there is some strange fallback.
ID 1 de = correct url,
ID 2 en = correct url,
ID 3 de_at and ID 4 de_ch = wrong url -> shows url of en ID 2 en. but this is wrong, because ID 3 de_at and ID 4 de_ch should show url of ID 1 de.

[matin73]

please also have a look into table catalog_category_entity_varchar. There are no entries for store views de_at = ID 3, de_ch = ID 4, en_gb = ID 5 (store views using "Use Default Value" vor field "url_key"). In Magento 1 there where also entries genereated for other store views. We have importet with migration tool and first it worked correct, because migration tool also migrated all store view urls. after saving any of these categories the entries in catalog_category_entity_varchar get deleted and the function has wrong fallback
