Lift-3.1.0-redirect-issue

To run

jetty:start

Navigate to http://localhost:8080/myservice/.

Notice application is running with myservice context path and there is active comet session showing current date at the bottom of the page.

Test case

Do any action which results in redirect ie. sign-in, login or logout.

Actual result:

Browser location after redirect ends up being http://localhost:8080.

Expected result:

Browser location after redirect should be http://localhost:8080/myservice/ (context path should be taken into account).

Cause of the bug

cometOnSessionLost in lift.js is redirecting to "/" discarding any context path.

cometOnSessionLost: function() {
  window.location.href = "/";
},

Do it yourself fix

Add this into Boot.scala (or uncomment this line):

LiftRules.noCometSessionCmd.default.set(() ⇒ JsRaw("window.location.href = '/myservice';"))

To make redirect with active comet actor work.

Desired behaviour

Make Lift take care of context path on user behalf to avoid this surprising behaviour.
