How do you implement pager when you want to specify pages in config?

[zachbogart]

I'm having trouble getting the pager feature to work when I specify the pages in the config.

For example, I am specifying the config to show the demo pages within a folder. I see the first footer pager, which links to the next page, all subsequent pages don't have pagers. This only seems to happen if I specify the pages in the config (if I remove the pages field entirely, all the pager footer links show up across the board, but my contents now are no longer nested in the sidebar).

Any ideas about why the pager links aren't showing up for all pages if I specify the page listings in the config?

Thanks.

Framework's documentation uses the pages option and has a pager. The code is here:
https://github.com/observablehq/framework/blob/main/observablehq.config.ts#L4
It should be similar for your site. If you think you found a bug please share a reproducible case.

It seems reproducible in the linked repo. We should investigate.

Oops sorry I looked at the links too quickly.

The problem comes from the fact that the paths are specified in pages without a leading /.

We should update https://observablehq.com/framework/config#pages to show actual pages instead of the typescript "string"

@Fil So we’re missing some additional path normalization when parsing the config, it seems?

Yes (tracking at #1110); I also want more explicit documentation in #1109.
