$site's "static" directory does not shadow the $theme's "static" directory when running weblorg-copy-static

[akatov]

I have the following directory structure:

├── posts
│   ├── post1.org
│   └── post2.org
├── publish.el
├── static
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   └── style.css
└── templates
    └── post.html

and the contents of publish.el is:

(require 'weblorg)

(weblorg-route
 :name "posts"
 :input-pattern "posts/*.org"
 :template "post.html"
 :output "output/posts/{{ slug }}.html"
 :url "/posts/{{ slug }}.html")

(weblorg-copy-static
 :output "output/static/{{ file }}"
 :url "/static/{{ file }}")

(weblorg-export)

When running emacs --script publish.el, the (custom) template templates/post.html gets used properly, however, the static/style.css file and in fact any other files inside static/ get ignored in favour of the contents of the static directory of weblorg's default template:

INFO writing: ./output/posts/post-1.html
INFO writing: ./output/posts/post-2.html
INFO copying: ~/.config/emacs/elpa/weblorg-20230828.150/themes/default/static/style.css -> ./output/static/style.css

My understanding of https://emacs.love/weblorg/doc/file-paths.html is that the local ./static directory should get precedence over any static directories in any themes (external or internal).

---

In any case, there is a workaround - I can move static into a my-theme directory, and adjust publish.el to say this:

(weblorg-copy-static
 :site (weblorg-site
	:theme (lambda () "my-theme"))
 :output "output/static/{{ file }}"
 :url "/static/{{ file }}")

which picks up the custom static files properly:

INFO copying: ./my-theme/static/favicon.ico -> ./output/static/favicon.ico
INFO copying: ./my-theme/static/style.css -> ./output/static/style.css
