Canonical URL matching causes unexpected behaviour about gatsby-plugin-static-site

[xavivars]

I'm facing the same problem than @brianbento. I'd love to have a way to fully disable that conditional check

[xavivars]

@wardpeet: this is also what I had to add to make it fully work: in gatsby-browser

exports.onClientEntry = () => {
    window.page = window.page || {};
    window.page.path = window.location.pathname;
}

Should this be added somehow to the plugin?

[wardpeet]

Let me have a look next week as I'm currently in New York with the gatsby team

[brianbento]

@xavivars I'm actually having the path being updated before onClientEntry fires. By the time the code has loaded it path has already been changes to the one that gatsby expects.

The proposed fix actually causes the pathname to be duplicated.

https://example.com/foo becomes https://example.com/foo/foo

Also

https://example.com/foo/bar becomes https://example.com/foo/foo/bar

[xavivars]

I'm actually using it without a path now, but with an assetPrefix, and that works. Didn't try with path, but I guess you should be removing basepath from this so it doesn't get added twice window.page.path = window.location.pathname;

[wardpeet]

I could fix this when adding assetPrefix: '/foo' to your gatsby-config.js

more info:
https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/asset-prefix/

This way your html files can live at / but your assets will live in /foo

Maybe overriding match from "@reach/router/lib/utils" to always match could be a way to disable the the canonical redirect check... (but match is used also in the gatsby serve command, not sure if this plugin only affects build and not develop

[wardpeet]

overriding utils wouldn't fix page-data requests.

I have a PR up that should fix this.
A demo: (page 5 has a canonical redirect)

[wardpeet]

I've published a new minor @wardpeet/gatsby-plugin-static-site 0.1.0. Please note that the minimum gatsby version is 2.11.1.

I'll be closing this issue, please reopen if it hasn't been resolved.
