Deprecation: #107537 - TypoScript getData "path" 

See forge#107537

Description 

TypoScript getData has two ways to get a URL for a system resource, asset and path. However, the result used to differ:

  • path returned a relative URL without cache busting
  • asset returned an absolute URI with cache busting.

Both are now returning the same URI (with cache busting) and path is deprecated, but continues to work until TYPO3 v15, where this option will be removed.

getText "asset" and "path" in TypoScript 

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript 
page.20 = TEXT
page.20 {
    data = asset : EXT:core/Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg
}

page.30 = TEXT
page.30 {
    data = path : EXT:core/Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg
}
Copied!
Result from now on 
/typo3/sysext/core/Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg?1709051481
/typo3/sysext/core/Resources/Public/Icons/Extension.svg?1709051481
Copied!

Impact 

All installations using path in TypoScript data will trigger a deprecation notice.

This will continue to work until removed in TYPO3 v15.0, but produce absolute cache busting URLs.

Affected installations 

All installations using path in TypoScript data.
