Description

When there are "host tokens" (see code below), the output of the Twig templates path() and url() is the same, which is highly unintuitive.

symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Routing/Generator/UrlGenerator.php

Lines 212 to 239 in dff83bc

if ($hostTokens) {
$routeHost = '';
foreach ($hostTokens as $token) {
if ('variable' === $token[0]) {
// check requirement (while ignoring look-around patterns)
if (null !== $this->strictRequirements && !preg_match('#^'.preg_replace('/\(\?(?:=|<=|!|<!)((?:[^()\\\\]+|\\\\.|\((?1)\))*)\)/', '', $token[2]).'$#i'.(empty($token[4]) ? '' : 'u'), $mergedParams[$token[3]])) {
if ($this->strictRequirements) {
throw new InvalidParameterException(strtr($message, ['{parameter}' => $token[3], '{route}' => $name, '{expected}' => $token[2], '{given}' => $mergedParams[$token[3]]]));
}
$this->logger?->error($message, ['parameter' => $token[3], 'route' => $name, 'expected' => $token[2], 'given' => $mergedParams[$token[3]]]);
return '';
}
$routeHost = $token[1].$mergedParams[$token[3]].$routeHost;
} else {
$routeHost = $token[1].$routeHost;
}
}
if ($routeHost !== $host) {
$host = $routeHost;
if (self::ABSOLUTE_URL !== $referenceType) {
$referenceType = self::NETWORK_PATH;
}
}
}

How to reproduce

The host for the route needs to be defined with "tokens", e.g.

host: '{subdomain}.example.com'

Possible Solution

Skip this code block when resolving a path.
