Link to `Data Context` broken

[goekce]

When I click on the data context link on https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/reference/controls/datagrid

then I get a 404 not found.

But the page is actually available under the link and when I copy paste it and browse the link, then I can reach the page:

https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/basics/data/data-binding/data-context

Can someone confirm this?

Hey @goekce good found 👍. The link you posted seems fine. Could you open a PR to fix it?

[goekce]

@timunie, I believe there is a misunderstanding. I see no difference between the target in the screenshot and the absolute link that I posted. But somehow the link only works if I browse it separately, so I don't see any URL to fix.

It could be the web server that behaves differently if the referrer is different.

Otherwise, I would have opened a PR 🙂

Could be it expects a relative path instead. Will have to look into it.

I see no difference between the target in the screenshot and the absolute link that I posted.

There is a difference! The html href on the doc page is

/basics/data/data-binding/data-context

when it should actually be

/docs/basics/data/data-binding/data-context

If you do end up opening a PR, there is another broken link on the same page under the Examples section.

I cloned and ran the docs repo locally and the relative hrefs are resolved correctly. I'm not familiar with docusaurus, but maybe the docs just need to be redeployed?

The actual issue seems to be that the generated relative href starts with either /basics/ or /docs/basics/ depending on if the user visited the page through either https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/basics/data/data-binding/data-context/ or https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/basics/data/data-binding/data-context.
Suspiciously though, other pages such as Context Menu have relative their hrefs always starting at /docs/ and work regardless of the URL ending in / or not.

I can confirm the same weird behavior exists on https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/concepts. This is probably a bug in docusaurus for pages that have immediate children? #598

Hey @ScrubN, thanks for your detective work on this. I've done some reading myself and agree with you that the only real fix for is to change the links to absolute paths starting with /docs.

Would you still like to submit a PR, as mentioned on #598? If not, I can also do it.

[ScrubN]

Sure, I can still submit a PR
