fix: Cannot serve off `/.../index.html` #1372

rgladwell · 2020-09-12T12:18:21Z

Summary

fixes #427

Docsify must be hosted on a server that supports a default directory index (i.e. maps /.../ -> /.../index.html).

Some platforms do not support this, however. For example, HTML apps hosted on the popular game/software platform, Itch.io.

This change supports hosting Docsify off an explicit path file, such as /index.html. It does this by:

Preventing the /index.html part of the path being removed during routing, and
Ensuring we can retrieve the source markdown using explicit path file URIs.

For example, http://example.org/index.html#/blah would be mapped to the markdown source file http://example.org/blah.md.

This fixes:

The e2e tests are reported by CI as failing, but are passing locally for me.

Thanks a lot for fixing the bug.

It does seems to work and fixes the issue.

Few questions

It would be great to have some more test cases.
it would be great to have some comments for why we are doing those normalizing and those conditional check. May be linking to the issues/PR will work as well.

Also, I doubt this might be a semver-major as it can be a breaking change. cc @docsifyjs/reviewers

rgladwell · 2020-09-14T17:33:55Z

@anikethsaha Thanks for the feedback. Could you clarify what sort of test cases you are looking for? I notice you have Cypress and unit tests. Which would you prefer, and where would they go exactly?

sy-records · 2020-09-15T00:53:33Z

It looks good.

@anikethsaha Thanks for the feedback. Could you clarify what sort of test cases you are looking for? I notice you have Cypress and unit tests. Which would you prefer, and where would they go exactly?

You could add cypress tests for other links like

/index.md
/index.html#/
/#/index.html/
/index.html/#/ (it would be 404 but still good to cover. )

Also if there are other cases you think you can add

rgladwell · 2020-09-15T18:30:37Z

@anikethsaha You could add cypress tests for other links like

Done, let me know if they're sufficient.

LGTM 🎉

My only concern is whether this should be considered as breaking or not!

rgladwell · 2020-09-16T07:46:07Z

It shouldn't be breaking, it's an additive change. You could argue that any breakages would be bugs.

@anikethsaha I think when it is not sure if it is a breaking change, we can make it as an option.
Giving the switch button to users' hands.:)

rgladwell · 2020-09-17T16:37:04Z

Hmmm I think this change breaks live reloads in development mode.

anikethsaha · 2020-09-18T05:30:25Z

I agree that it is not a breaking change as it was a bug so probably it wasn't used before in order to avoid the bug.

rgladwell · 2020-10-02T11:58:58Z

Been trying to add a feature flag for this, but the code is getting very complicated. If this isn't a breaking change, can we live without it?

jhildenbiddle · 2020-10-08T00:55:28Z

Hey @rgladwell,

Thanks for the PR!

We recently merged #1276 into develop which is an overhaul of our CI and local test environments. As a result, the e2e tests in this PR will need to rewritten in Jest+Playwright instead of Cypress. The good news is that the test environments should be more stable and easier to work with. The PR contains a summary of the changes, help is available in /test/README.md directory, and I'm available if you have any questions.

rgladwell · 2020-10-16T11:28:38Z

Is there some way to get a screenshot or run non-headless for the Jest e2e tests?

Docsify must be hosted on a server that supports a default directory index (i.e. maps `/.../` -> `/.../index.html`). Some platforms do not support this, however. For example, HTML apps hosted on the popular game/software platform, Itch.io. This change supports hosting Docsify off an explicit path file, such as `/index.html`. It does this by: 1. Adding handling for paths like `index.html#/blah`, and 2. Normalising paths with fragments back to markdown paths For example, `http://example.org/index.html#/blah` would be mapped to `http://example.org/blah.md`. This fixes: docsifyjs#427

rgladwell · 2021-02-05T12:03:25Z

@jhildenbiddle @anikethsaha @Koooooo-7 As requested, added e2e tests using Jest framework.
