--custom-url adds a trailing slash to URL

[alanb43]

When using the "--custom-url" option in a github action (and possibly all of the time), the url that is passed to the test runner has a trailing slash. In my use case, the url I'm passing is a download link, and the slash is causing the download to not work / the response to be an XML error. Let me know if this is on my end!

Hi @alanb43

The temporary environment's URL is properly created without a trailing slash, so there's no issue on the CLI (or GitHub Action)'s side of things. What's happening is that the test's start_uri is currently set to /, so the test starts off navigating to {environment_url}/.

If you set your tests' start_uri to the empty string, your tests will start off navigating to {environment_url}. This must currently be done via the API, see the put-test endpoint.

Alternatively, you can add a Navigate step, navigating to {{ rainforest.url_base }}. This will navigate to {environment_url}, regardless of what the test's start_uri is.

A hackier solution would be to append # or ? to the --custom-url. This means the file will be properly downloaded even with an extra / at the end of the URL.
