Bard fieldtype: Linked entries in Bard field resolves to wrong locale of the entry (GraphQL and RESTful API)

[motion-work]

Bug description

I have a Statamic instance configured with multisite (German, French, and Italian). The default root locale is set to German. Also I am fetching the CMS data via the GraphQL endpoint. the same bug applies for the REST api as well.

Within a bard field, when I link to an entry of the same locale - for example, French entry to another French entry, I expect the linked entry to resolve to the French URL /fr/first-page -> /fr/second-page, but it currently does not.

How to reproduce

Current behavior

French linked entry within Bard field resolves to German url of the linked entry. for example:

/fr/french-page-a -> /de/german-page-a

it resolves to the correct entry but in the wrong locale

Expected behavior

/fr/french-page-a -> /fr/french-page-a

Additional details

I have found this merged issue which seems to fix this similar bug but not for the GraphQL and REST api: #8319

No updates yet sorry. You'd see them here if there were.

alrighty thanks for the reply

I'm not able to fix it right now, but this is a note for us or whoever wants to tackle this:

The issue is here:

cms/src/Fieldtypes/Bard/LinkMark.php

Line 69 in 1f08790

return ($item->in(Site::current()->handle()) ?? $item)->url();

It's localizing to the current site, which works great on the frontend but not in the APIs. Instead of Site::current(), it should somehow get the site of the parent entry (the one where the bard field is). Accessing that from within the LinkMark class might be challenging.

In my project I "fixed" this by injecting a middleware into the Statamic GraphQL queries

class ResolveSite extends Middleware
{
    public function handle($root, array $args, $context, ResolveInfo $info, Closure $next)
    {
        $site = $args['site'] ?? Site::default()->handle();
        Site::setCurrent($site);

        return $next($root, $args, $context, $info);
    }
}

This solution isn't that nice because of it being a side-effect in a query, however it does work quite well even with fetching multiple sites, and doesn't require refactoring all the Site::current() occurrences.

Currently facing same issue with REST API 😞

Closing as I believe this has been fixed in #11207, which will be part of the next release.
