Issue 10934 - D logo not displayed locally when building on Windows.

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10934

I'm not sure whether this will continue to work on Posix. Can anyone test?

[CyberShadow]

I don't think it worked on any system when the HTML is opened locally.

Care needs to be taken that this template is only used for pages located on the site root. E.g. phobos pages must use ../images/... or /images/....

[ghost]

Well it's not a big deal, I can live without the logo locally. But is there a better fix?

[CyberShadow]

No, I don't think there is. This fix will work with the above-mentioned condition. If we don't have stuff in subdirectories that uses doc.ddoc, it should be fine I think.

My workaround is to just execute python -m SimpleHTTPServer from the root folder of the repo where the generated html is and then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. I think it's reasonable to just suggest that if there is a chance changing the paths will break something.

[MartinNowak]

How about "images/dlogo.png"?

[brad-anderson]

That breaks it on phobos docs. We've actually been through this before. It's why I've just given up trying to get them to work and now use the python trick.

[MartinNowak]

But "./images/logo.png" is the same, isn't it?

[brad-anderson]

Yes. This only fixes it for root pages locally but would break it for phobos docs (the same way the commit that removed the / did and had to be reversed).

There is <base> that I thought of looking into to try to fix this but I'd say we just close this because it's really a relatively minor issue and only one devs hit.

You guys are gonna have to take over. I don't have a pc/laptop at my new home yet. Probably in 4/8+ weeks from now.

You can also use this simple vibe.d program.

dub init serve vibe.d
cd serve
cat > source/app.d << EOF
import vibe.d;

shared static this()
{
    auto settings = new HTTPServerSettings;
    settings.port = 8080;

    listenHTTP(settings, serveStaticFiles("."));
}
EOF
dub build
