This commit partially reverts 7afdc41, which introduced a regression in the way HistoryLocation works.
Prior to the above-mentioned commit, we would always consult the browser’s state stack when determining what the current path was.
The one exception to this was in cases where HistoryLocation was used in browsers that do not support the history API. In that case, the in line comments described a fallback “polyfill” for tracking state.
Our rationale behind the refactor was that, if we have a fallback path anyway, we should just always use that instead of having two paths through the system.
In reality, the fallback path was a lower-fidelity implementation. In particular, there was no handling of the user hitting the back button, which generates a
popstate
event.This commit reverts to the old behavior, so if the browser supports history state, we always check its current state when setting the URL. This makes sure that the path is correctly determined even if the user hit the back button, rather than using the last cached set value.
Fixes #10801.
