Nikola v7.6.3 recently installed.
Did

$ nikola init --demo mysite
$ cd mysite
$ nikola auto

with default conf.py (THEME="bootstrap3"), but is not showing styles.
Installed any other theme (material-theme for example) and it worked just fine.
Then I build my old sites based on bootstrap3 and the same problem.

What OS are you on? Is the CSS linked in the source? Do you get any errors
in the web inspector?

Also, could you put up a tarball of your site up somewhere? That would help
us debug.

Do you open the output/index.html manually? or do you use the -b option with the auto command?

My mistake! I found the problem.

Default conf.py had SITE_URL="https://example.com/" so stylesheets where linked to https://example.com/assets/...
I edited conf.py and set BASE_URL to my output dir and problem solved.

I'm not used to set BASE_URL different from SITE_URL. Until now, didn't understand well that difference.

Thank you!

You should just set SITE_URL, and leave BASE_URL commented out. (BTW, is there any reason to keep the distinction?)

I did just that, which is the default conf that always worked, then opened the output/index.html manually (as I always did) instead of using the -b option, only this time something changed in Nikola between v7.5.1 and v7.6.3: <base href=...> tag was added inside the <head> tag of the bootstrap3 template, so stylesheets are linked in relation to that url.

If I just use the -b option it works well.

@Aeyoun see previous comment. We forgot about the case of people just opening the files.

The user is running a server via Nikola and still opening the files in their browsers manually. Isn’t serve and auto the intended mechanisms for viewing Nikola sites locally? Sites configured to use root-relative or absolute URLs will also fail when opened manually regardless of the base tag or not.

Sure, we just may have to discourage it somehow.
