How can I use this with a base href? about blazormonaco

[kinetiq]

The _content does exist by the way, if I browse directly to it, it is present. The links are just confused.

Actually, there was a similar problem with the sample app of this project running at GitHub Pages. It runs at https://serdarciplak.github.io/BlazorMonaco/ and as this URL is not the root path, links like "_content/..." were failing just like you've mentioned. Adding the tag below to the html head solved the issue for me.

<base href="/BlazorMonaco/" />

By the way, if it's not private, I'd love to learn what that use case is.

I see that in my original post, I had a formatting error, and it hid some important information. I was trying to share that I have an unusual base tag in my _Host. Fixed that so it's visible now. So this reveals my problem: this component wants to run in the root path, and I may be out of luck since my project already has a different base.

But I wonder why setting the base to /BlazorMonaco/ would fix the problem in your case? It seems like that would result in even stranger paths. Maybe there is a lead here... Or maybe it is possible to somehow build this as a standalone page that has its own base... I would need to do some research, although that might be a bit more invasive than I had hoped.

Sure. My project generates sophisticated reports, where (among other things) we generate language based on statistics. Each chunk of potential language is a small class called an insight. Insights are smart enough to report back a weight showing how interesting its result is. So we might run a hundred classes and return only the 3 most compelling results, by comparing weights.

I have the required code down to something very simple that (highly trusted) technical non-programmers inside my company could learn to use, greatly speeding up the iteration cycle on our language constructs. I want to build a page that allows them to write code and see the results. This editor would be a perfect solution for the editor part, if I can get it to work.

Do you have your project in a public repo? I think I can try a few things and make it work.

Ok, I made a public repo, check it out: https://github.com/kinetiq/MonacoExample

Thanks for your help with this!

Hi @kinetiq
Sorry for replying too late. I've checked your repo. When I run it in VS, it runs at the root of "https://localhost:44363/" without any additional path like "/Blazor/". But the base tag tells the browser that all paths should have a prefix. So, the browser tries to load BlazorMonaco resources with that prefix, but as the app actually runs on the root path, the resources cannot be found in that sub directory. You should run the app in the "/Blazor/" path, or remove that base tag.

Haha, it has been awhile but I appreciate the response.
