trailingSlash option to `never` is not in line with $page.params

[SteelAlloy]

Describe the bug

When settings the following config in svelte.config.js, I expect all paths to contain no trailing slashes.

const config = {
  kit: {
    trailingSlash: "never",
  }
};

But when looking at the $page.params store, this is not always the case.
This happens when navigating on the website with links and looking at rest parameters.

Reproduction

Reproduction repo: https://github.com/oganexon/sveltejs-kit-trailing-slash-page-store

Stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/sveltejs-kit-template-default-vlxa2g

1. Go to /test/foo/bar/
   

2. See that $page.params.path == "/test/foo/bar"
   

3. Click on "Go up" (href=".")

4. $page.params.path == "/test/foo/" There's a trailing slash
   

Note: The URL doesn't update in the search bar in stackblitz. That's not part of the issue.

serious, but I can work around it

This is super tricky - we're sort of tied here. The trailingSlash option is determined by the route that is loaded. beforeNavigate and $navigating contain params which are updated before that route's nodes are loaded, therefore before the trailingsSlash value is determined. We could modify params afterwards so that it's correct for $page.params and for the load functions, but it would be different to the value in beforeNavigate and $navigating, which sounds like a bad solution. I'm tempted to mark this as "won't fix" since it's such an edge case:

1. you need a <a href=".">
2. you need a [..rest] route
3. you need someone to navigate upwards within that rest route

Btw the URL in the browser bar is wrong, too, since . apparently triggers this behavior. The best way to avoid this is therefore to not use href="."

To fix this we would need to move loading the nodes prior to beforeNavigate. On the server we did this, I'm not sure if loading the code before using it (beforeNavigate could cancel) is the right solution. In practice it wouldn't make that much of a difference though (probably).

trailingSlash is not configured in svelte.config.js anymore.

You can do in your root +layout.js something like:

export const trailingSlash = 'always';

Note that never is the default option. You can read more about it here

I would suggest to close this issue.
