Some pages not found on Windows in zola serve

[anthonychwong]

Bug Report

Environment

Zola version: 0.11.0

Expected Behavior

Theme should be able to call shortcode and render properly.

Current Behavior

Given There are short codes defined in both base site and theme, referencing them in theme causes function not found error.

Building site...
-> Creating 3 pages (0 orphan), 1 sections, and processing 0 images
Error: Failed to render page 'D:/personal-site\content\notes\article\index.md'
Reason: Failed to render 'hyde/templates/page.html'
Reason: Function 'note_title' not found

(If the stacktrace of a panic is needed, where to add the RUST_BACKTRACE=1?)

Step to reproduce

1. Define a shortcode in theme, e.g. <site root>\themes\<theme name>\templates\shortcodes\note_title.html
2. Call it from theme's template
3. zola serve failed with error Function `note_title` not found.

Can you test with 0.12?

[anthonychwong]

The problem still exists.

[Keats]

Ah wait, you're calling a shortcode in a template, that's not what shortcodes are for. They can only called inside a .md content file. What you are looking for are most likely https://tera.netlify.app/docs/#macros

[anthonychwong]

I have tried to use macros but not working and shows Not Found

Step to reproduce

1. Create file macros.html to hold all the macros
   

2. Import and call it somewhere in theme

{% import "macros.html" as macros %}
{% extends "index.html" %}

{% block content %}
<div class="post">
  {{ macros::note_header() }}
...

3. Run zola serve which said render successfully and serving pages

4. Open the page and get the error

[Keats]

This is the server 404, nothing to do with macros. Is your repo on GH so I can take a look?

[anthonychwong]

This is the site with content stripped away https://github.com/anthonychwong/getzola-issue-1169 .

http://127.0.0.1:1111/notes/dummy-note-1/ works for me, are you on Windows by any chance?

[anthonychwong]

Yes, that was on Windows, and I have just tried with docker image balthek/zola:0.12.0 and it works.

[Keats]

yeah, sounds like a Windows-only issue :(
Hopefully someone on that platform can debug it.

Here's a 3 file repro, the issue is that nested paths are not served by zola serve on 12:

Note: curl is just a silly powershell alias.

Note: the root cause is that serving in-memory files from SITE_CONTENT uses platform-specific separators. Forward slashes on unix, backwards slash on Windows. This works nicely on unix-like systems because it matches URL path separators, but not so much on Windows.
