Search results on pkgdown website link to wrong page

[peterdesmet]

1. Go to https://inbo.github.io/camtraptor/index.html
2. Type "Read" in the search bar at the top
3. Click on the first suggested result in the dropdown: Reference > Read a Camtrap DP — read_camtrap_dp
4. Result link to: https://inbo.github.io/reference/read_camtrap_dp.html?q=Read#null

Rather than the expected: https://inbo.github.io/camtraptor/reference/read_camtrap_dp.html?q=Read#null

This also affects:

• https://trias-project.github.io/trias/
• https://inbo.github.io/movepub/
• https://inbo.github.io/etn/

frictionless, bioRad, wateRinfo and rgbif are not affected.

@PietrH can you debug this one?

[PietrH]

I'm having a look

[PietrH]

I'm having trouble replicating this, it's possibly due to url: ~ in _pkgdown.yml, however I haven't been able to test this hypothesis. I've found examples of similar _pkgdown.yml on github that do seem to work, but that's possibly because they pages were built before a breaking change somewhere in the stack. Or it might be something else entirely.

Later on this week I'll have another go at this issue.

Oh, that's a good guess. I'm curious if anyone has reported it at pkgdown.

@damianooldoni and I had a brief discussion about this issue today.

To clarify: I can confirm the issue, but haven't been able to create a new website with pkgdown that has the same problem.

So far I've been debugging off a fork of existing packages with the issue, but later on this week I'll try starting from a blank slate (a new, repo, a new package). Thanks for the suggestion.

Discussed with @damianooldoni, to move to milestone v1.0

[peterdesmet]

This is now fixed. It is indeed necessary to change url: ~ to an absolute domain name. I have also updated (or recorded to update) the other packages this affects.
