'index' page generated rather than 'index.html'

[0xdevalias]

With a url such as redirect_from: post/10235539154/etcinitdblog-start/ i'm seeing the following generated (which at least in jekyll serve leads to an unviewable page) and cant figure out why.

/post/10235539154/etcinitdblog-start/index

@alias1 Which Jekyll version are you using?

3.1.1

As I think, this issue has caused by jekyll/jekyll#4160.

We're initializing redirect_page as following:

redirect_page = RedirectPage.new(site, site.source, "", "")

Then JekyllRedirectFrom::Redirector sets its page's data['permalink'] to alt_url. redirect_page.output_ext actually calls Jekyll::Renderer.new(site, self).output_ext. So when alt_url ends with '/', output_ext will return document.extname, which is an empty string.

I just realized my redirects are being generated in the same way, and index file instead of an index.html file is created in the redirect folder with any redirect using a trailing slash.

Jekyll 3.1.2, jekyll-redirect-from 0.9.1

@brandonb927 Could you give #96 a try for me? It should fix that.

gem "jekyll-redirect-from", github: "jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from", branch: "jekyll-3-drops"

[brandonb927]

Thanks @parkr, I'll give it a go this week. In the meantime I reverted our site back to jekyll 2.5.3, jekyll-redirect-from 0.8.0 which is the last known working state.

Hello,

I'm having the same issue with jekyll 3.1.2 (index instead of index.html). I tried changing my Gemfile to:

gem "jekyll-redirect-from", github: "jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from", branch: "jekyll-3-drops"

... but it seems that the branch doesn't exist anymore. I noticed that #96 merged the branch, so I just pointed to master and it worked:

gem 'jekyll-redirect-from', branch: "master", github: "jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from"

I'm not sure how stable master is though, so I might hold of before releasing the change and wait for the actual gem version release :)

Cheers

I'm having the same issue -- i.e. getting an extension-less index for all redirects. Right now my workaround is to add index.html explicitly on the end of all redirect_from URLs. So rather than doing:

redirect_from: /2015/12/08/foo/

I'm doing:

redirect_from: /2015/12/08/foo/index.html

This achieves the intended result of the plugin, and I wonder if it's a more robust approach in general going forward since the goal of the jekyll-redirect-from is precisely this -- to create a folder structure with a single index.html in each.

I think I'm having a similar problem with redirect_to.

If I want to redirect x.html -> y.html, then I could not have a y.html and specify in x.html redirect_from: /url/for/y.html and that seems to work correctly. If I look at the generated site, I have a file named y.html that serves a redirect to x.html.

I'd expect that a file called y.html that contains redirect_to: /url/for/x.html would behave the same. Instead, I get two generated files: y.html that has the contents of the file without the redirect and y that serves a redirect to x.html. I'd expect only one file named y.html that redirects to x.html. Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how this should work?

This seems to be working for me in https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from/releases/tag/v0.10.0

[0xdevalias]

Can confirm, also working for me in v0.10.0 :3 Thanks!
