[5.x] Redirect from com_component_name to com_componentname when clicking a component's toolbar button

[maggus]

Steps to reproduce the issue

• Build a native, simple Joomla! 5 component with name com_component_name
• Use a toolbar button in backend: New, Edit, Close, Cancel, whatever...

Expected result

• User should probably be redirected to a com_component_name view

Actual result

• User will be redirected to a com_componentname view that does not exist

System information (as much as possible)

• Joomla 5.2.0
• PHP 8.2.12

Additional comments

Hi there! I am not sure if this is a bug. I have migrated a component whose former name was of type com_component_name. As you can see there is a second underscore in the component's name. Thus, the component does not meet Joomla's naming convention for components. However, this was working fine for a Joomla 3 component. But now, on Joomla 5, there is a redirect to com_componentname views when hitting any toolbar button in the component's backend.

Is this intended by design or is this a possible bug in the routing system?

Thank you for your feedback!

Good question, the option parameter is filtered normally with the CMD filter which actually allows _, have you tracked down where the redirect is happening? is the parameter in the form right?

Hi @HLeithner!

Thank you for your answer!

If you ask for the outputted form parameters, they seem to be correct:
<form action="/orthos/administrator/index.php?option=com_orthos_doctors&amp;layout=edit&amp;id=783" method="post" name="adminForm" id="adminForm" class="form-validate">

And this is the response header after submitting:

Not sure, if this is helpful.

However, when renaming the component from com_component_name to com_componentname, all redirects are correct and existing.

I will bring this to the next Maintainers meeting in 2 weeks, I'm not 100% sure if it's a bug we want to solve since, as you said, it doesn't full fill the naming convention.

[HLeithner]

ok, we discussed this in the maintainer meeting and would like to support _ in component name, but we can't replicate your issue.

so maybe you can provide a simple component where this issue happens?

I have a component with an underscore in the name and the Toolbar works fine. We need your code to check.
