I'm converting an app from grails 2.5.2 to 3.0.10. In many controllers and oher places I do
redirect(url: "/my/url", permanent: true)
I have set the context path in application.groovy:
server.'context-path' = '/myapp'
When the redirect is called, the redirect is coming through as /my-app-dir/my/url install of /myapp/my/url
Why is grails 3.0.10 using the application directory in the url instead of context-path? I am running this via grails clean; grails run-app
After running it through the debugger, it turns out you must also set:
grails.serverURL= "http://localhost:8080/myapp"
In application.groovy for redirects to work properly.

I am building a web application from the ASP.Net Core React template, whose "ClientApp" React portion appears to be a 'create-react-app' project. When I deploy the app to IIS, it gets hosted in a subfolder from the root, i.e. http://myserver.com/SubApp. Because of this, I have changed the "homepage" value in package.json to http://myserver.com/SubApp.
What I am now experiencing is that when I am making fetch calls in my javascript code locally, if I use fetch('/myendpoint'), the the url requested locally is https://localhost:44315/myendpoint (which works), but when deployed, this url becomes http://myserver.com/myendpoint, which does not work.
Conversely, when I make the endpont fetch('myendpoint') (no leading slash), the server requests the correct URL http://myserver.com/SubApp/myendpoint but localhost fetches the incorrect URL, https://localhost:44315/SubApp/myendpoint.
I understand that the leading slash makes the request from the root, but the root appears to be different in localhost vs. on the server.
For local debugging purposes, I tried setting a proxy in package.json to https://localhost:44315 so that hopefully fetch('myendpoint') (no leading slash) would work in my local environment, but when I try this, chrome prompts me to sign in repeatedly without ever successfully making the request.
I feel like I am almost there, but I must be missing something. How can I configure my package.json (or other project configuration) to make the fetch commands succeed on both localhost and my server, without doing something hacky like checking the URL in the javascript code before every fetch?
What you need is Proxying API Requests in Development.
It easily allows you to call any endpoint in development and forward it to your backend or other location without CORS issues or your problem of mismatched endpoints.
You will have to use the manual configuration option, since the default proxy setup only helps with host/port forwarding.
Install http-proxy-middleware as a dev dependency:
$ npm -i http-proxy-middleware --save-dev
Following the guide linked above, you can use this configuration:
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');
module.exports = function(app) {
app.use(
'/SubApp/*',
createProxyMiddleware({
target: 'localhost://44315', // or anything else, point to your dev backend
pathRewrite: {
'^/SubApp': '/', // remove base path
},
})
);
};
You can then fetch with the /SubApp part in the request which will be removed in developement. You can use other configurations to achieve this, this is one example.
I had this same experience as well and found that setting the homepage value in the package.json is a dead end. What you want to do is make use of the PUBLIC_URL environment variable to set a full absolute url in your .env . There may be a way to use relative urls, but there were some edge cases that just made it cleaner to use an absolute URL.
When you set this environment variable you want to make use of it in the following places:
Your Routes (if you use react router)
The path should be prefixed by process.env.PUBLIC_URL
Your internal links should also be prefixed by the env var.
I'm using Nextjs for a front-end application and dotnet core 3.1 for the Web API. There are some pages that are static and other that are dynamic I followed the official documentation to achieve this. On development mode (local machine) everything works fine. Both static and dynamic routes are working properly and fetching data from the dontnet core Web API.
However, when publishing the Nextjs app following this steps:
yarn build
yarn export
An out folder is generated at the root of the project
The content of that folder is uploaded to the server
After, the deployed files are uploaded and when loging to the app, it redirects to the main page (until here is working OK), but as soon as I click on the reload page botton (Chrome) I am gettint the 404 error.
Looking at the console in the developer tools I got this:
I found this Stackoverflow link with same issue but there the answer is to use Express for server routing. In my case I am using dotnet core Web API for server requests. So, not sure how to do that.
Is there a way to fix this from the client side? Might be a configuration is missing?
The only thing I noticed while doing the export was a message saying: No "exportPathMap" found. Not sure if that would the the reason.
I had got similar issue in react when all of my pages after building and exporting had ".html" extensions. I solved it by the following code in next.config.js file.
next.config.js
module.exports = {
exportTrailingSlash: true,
}
Note: Do not work with the above code while in development. Use it just before building the project.
You can find the documentation link here: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/exportPathMap#adding-a-trailing-slash.
UPDATE
The above code was for next.js v9.3.4 which I was using at that time. For newer versions below code should be used according to docs.
next.config.js
module.exports = {
trailingSlash: true,
}
it has been fixed update your nextjs package
npm install next#latest
based on the current version of Next js you have, visit here to see if there's any breaking change before updating what you have
I had a similar issue where after deploying the out folder created by next export all URL's would redirect me to the homepage. Everything was working fine during development and all URL's were accessible with next/link but in order to access pages with a URL I had to add a .html extension at the end of the URL.
Because I needed a quick workaround I added a useEffect block in the _app.tsx file for rerouting so that upon landing on the homepage it would act as if a Link component was clicked redirecting to the entered URL.
useEffect(()=>{
router.push(window.location.href)
},[])
When running my spring app from my IDE and running the React app from within VSCode, everything worked perfectly. I used the build script to build my React project, and then put the output into my /static folder of Spring. Then I used mvn clean install to build the .jar file. After running the entire app from the .jar file, I can access my homepage with localhost:5000. I can also use my navbar links to access different parts of the website, like the Home page and the About page... But if I try to manually enter the url localhost:5000/about I get a 404 Not found error.. What am I doing wrong?
My guess is that your Spring (webmvc?) application is not configured to listen to different URLs other than /. And while it may seem as if the navbar successfully redirects to http://localhost:5000/about, in reality the single page application uses JavaScript client-side routing to change the URL in the browser, unload the currently rendered page, and load another page.
If you are indeed using Spring MVC, you could (among other options) modify your Spring static resource configuration, modify your #RequestMapping to listen to multiple endpoints, or use a ViewControllerRegistry.
When I try to access a route like www.deployedWebApp.com/profiles I get a 404, bu when I access the root www.deployedWebApp.com/ and then click in the profiles button that pushes to /profiles it works. I suppose that it only loads the routes in the root / because the code for this route is at App.js but this can lead to poor UX due to sending the direct route www.deployedWebApp.com/profiles for a friend and getting a 404, so is there a way to fix this without a Back-end?
There are different ways to fix this issue dependent on your deployment method.
Deploying Static Server Using Serve serve -s build -l port.
As -s, --single Rewrite all not-found requests to index.html. Other options mentioned here also Building for Relative Paths
Using firebase, you can use this option Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? (y/N).
It is a problem with GitHub pages, where I was hosting, when switching to firebase it works like a charm
my react app is working locally but after the deploy, I faced the problem when I press any button there is no problem but if I want to refresh I see that problem "404 - File or directory not found."
I found this solution:
https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/v3/docs/guides/Histories.md#browserhistory
Configure Your Server
"Your server must be ready to handle real URLs. When the app first loads at / it will probably work, but as the user navigates around and then hits refresh at /accounts/23 your web server will get a request to /accounts/23. You will need it to handle that URL and include your JavaScript application in the response."
But I don't know how can I do this
I try something but it doesn't work
TRY
npm run build, this will create build folder inside your project root folder
if you want to deploy to remote server just transfer that build
folder.
npx serve -s build on windows, if you are using mac kindly see if it is still npx.
then try to refresh every path of it
hope this works, happy coding.
Since the server cannot find the static content in the directory (i.e. not found the file /tomcat/accounts/23), it will give you 404 unless you have additional route handling.
In React routing I think you can try with HashRouter
