Categories Path for Product URLs not working, issue with getProductUrl on Catalog Module?

[tigerx7]

It seems that getProductUrl() isn't returning a URL with the category in the path in the catalog pages. I'm able to reproduce this with a clean install using my own data and a clean install using the sample data.

Steps:

1. Loaded Magento 2.0.0 via Composer, including sample data
2. Did web based setup wizard. Sample data loaded.
3. Admin -> Stores -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Catalog -> Search Engine Optimization -> "Category URL Suffix" set to "", "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" set to "Yes"
4. Admin -> Products -> Catalog -> SKU "24-MB01" -> Search Engine Optimization -> Verified that URL Key was set to "joust-duffle-bag"
5. Flushed all caches plus static files
6. Navigated to sample data category: http://{domain}/gear/bags
7. Link on first product "Joust Duffle Bag " is to: "http://{domain}/catalog/product/view/id/1/s/joust-duffle-bag/category/4/" instead of the expected: "http://{domain}/gear/bags/joust-duffle-bag.html"

URL Rewrite is functioning since "gear/bags/joust-duffle-bag.html" is in the url_rewrite DB table and http:///gear/bags/joust-duffle-bag.html successfully pulls up the product page. It just seems there's an issue with getProductUrl() on the catalog module inserting the category correctly; unless I have a misunderstanding on something?

The command php bin/magento indexer:reindex changes nothing. In the table 'catalog_url_rewrite_product_category' there are no changes...

Yes having the same issue "getProductUrl() isn't returning a URL with the category in the path in the catalog pages"

Hi, @tigerx7. Thanks for reporting the issue! We've created an internal ticket MAGETWO-46927 to process it.

Good to hear. I've been studying the code trying to get my head around it by following the creation of the URL path in the catalog models. I got as far as getUrl() in \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Url. I'm able to confirm the following values in my test setup right before an instance of \Magento\Framework\UrlFactory gets created on the last line:

$storeId = 1, $routePath = "catalog/product/view", $routeParams = ['id' => 39, 's' => 'prod-url-key', 'category' => 7, 'query' => []].

At that point it passes off to \Magento\Framework\UrlFactory and that's as far as I got. The parameters seem right, but I'm fairly new to Magento development and wouldn't consider myself too well versed just yet.

I did a bit more digging. It seems that $product->hasUrlDataObject() is returning false and so is $product->getRequestPath() in function getUrl so UrlRewrite and setRequestPath never kick in.

When ignoring the false check if statement on $product->getRequestPath(), the following $filterData gets formed in my test:

[filterData] => Array
        (
            [entity_id] => 62
            [entity_type] => product
            [store_id] => 1
            [metadata] => Array
                (
                    [category_id] => 5
                )
        )

However, when that gets passed to $this->urlFinder->findOneByData($filterData); it returns NULL

The product id is correct (62) and it is in category_id 5, which is 3 levels deep.

I did it working this way
delete FROM url_rewrite WHERE entity_type = 'product'
take a product and change categories for it
bin/magento indexer:reindex
urls are ok for the updated product, others are still wrong
Don't seems to be a bug, maybe someting went wrong during the install of the sample datas.

@GeromeF , I'm experiencing the same issue without sample data loaded. The urlrewrites are correct and I'm able to to load products when typing the rewritten url directly (ie. {domain}/{category}/{subcategory}/{product_url_key}. It brings up the product successfully. However, the url's that are being generated for the products when they're being listed at the category level and use catalog path in url is set to true are failing and generating something like: http://{domain}/catalog/product/view/id/1/s/{product_url_key}/category/4/

Are you able to reproduce successful URL's with the catalog path in the product list anchor tags at the catalog level?

[tigerx7]

While tracking down another issue, I think I found the problem with the Product URL paths. getProductUrl isn't taking into account categories set as anchors.

So say if a product is only assigned to the last child category: {default category}-->{level 1}->{level 2}->{level 3}. If a visitor navigates all the way to {level 3}, then the path for the product is generated correctly: {domain}/{level 1}/{level 2}/{level 3}/{product url key}.

However, if {level 2} is set as an anchor, and the visitor only navigates that far, then that's when getUrlPath() fails and generates the non-url-rewrite path for a product.
