Regression: 2.2.0 breaks for server side rendering with code working in 2.0.0 & 2.1.1

[MoOx]

It's sort of the same issue I mentioned in #3279 but with ReactRouter.match({ routes: routes, location: "/", basename: "/" }` that didn't work anymore (since 2.2.0, same with 2.2.1).

code with 2.0.0 (works with 2.1.1 too) http://jsbin.com/saziwop/edit?html,js,console
code with 2.2.0 http://jsbin.com/zivopi/edit?html,js,console

const App = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      <div />
    )
  }
})

var routes = (
  <ReactRouter.Router>
    <ReactRouter.Route path="*" component={App}/>
  </ReactRouter.Router>
)

ReactRouter.match({ routes: routes, location: "/", basename: "/" }, (error, redirectLocation, renderProps) => {
  if (renderProps) {
    console.log("ok")
  }
  else {
    console.log("NOK")
  }
})

Previously my issue wwas with "/test-url" but now same issue with "/" (and basename to "/")

I'm taking a look. As a temporary workaround, can you remove the trailing slash from your basename?

[MoOx]

This code is shipped with phenomic so it's not an easy task atm :) As a workaround I told user to stick to 2.1.1 MoOx/phenomic#393

Maybe this commit introduced that regression ac0b761

[taion]

I see – this is actually exposing a different issue than the original one. I coincidentally had a fix under #3246, but I didn't cherry-pick it out.

[taion]

BTW, I'm not sure if there was some confusion, but you shouldn't be rooting your routes with a <Router>. In the case you have, the minimal config would just be e.g.

<Route path="*">

which wouldn't trigger this regression.

[taion]

Is your actual route config:

<Route>
  <Route path="*" />
</Route>

?

[MoOx]

Yeah. This

<Route component={ LayoutContainer }>
    <Route path="*" component={ PageContainer } />
</Route>

(In a very near futur, we are going to add more routes, but the first level is to have a common wrapper for all routes. Is there a better solution ?

[taion]

This will be fixed by #3308.

I believe this is an edge case triggered by the path being /, when using a route with path="*" nested under a pathless route.

We had a number of test cases for route matching in our test suite, but this specific case wasn't covered. I'm adding a regression test here with #3308 to keep this from happening again.

[taion]

Rather, this only happens when / gets matched by a <Route path="*">, nested under a pathless route. If you had some other route in front of the <Route path="*"> that would match the /, then this also wouldn't happen.

[MoOx]

Ok good to hear. Thanks for your work.

[taion]

Sorry this is causing problems. We're tweaking the route matching to be stricter with slashes, to avoid a bug where a route like

<Route path="foo">
  <Route path="bar" />
</Route>

would match a URL like /foo/////////bar/////. The intention of the fix is to make that path config only match /foo/bar and /foo/bar/, and nothing else.

Unfortunately, this requires us to be quite a lot stricter with slashes in paths, and this appears to be revealing a couple of odd edge cases.

[MoOx]

You are doing the right thing, no problem :)
