redirect plugin configuration if I rename url

[luweizheng]

Hi all,

I rename a folder from machine-learning to deep-learning. I want to configure redirect plugin so that old URLs can be redirected to the new URLs and old URLs have already been indexed by search engines.

Here is the folder structure where deep-learning is formerly machine-learning before.

└── src
    ├── README.md
    ├── about.md
    ├── blog
    ├── deep-learning <- formerly: machine-learning
    ├── donate.md
    ├── flink
    ├── gpu
    └── python

Here is the redirect plugin setting of config.ts:

import { redirectPlugin } from "vuepress-plugin-redirect";

plugins: [
    [
      // ...
      redirectPlugin({
        config: (app) =>
          Object.fromEntries(
            app.pages
              .filter(({ path }) => path.startsWith("/deep-learning/"))
              .map(({ path }) => [path.replace(/^\/deep-learning\//, "/machine-learning/"), path])
          ),
      }),
    ],
  ],

But it does not work? What's the problem of my configuration? Any suggestions?

Reproduction site and repo is required for these kind of things, unless the demo itself is not working.

Just push my recent changes into https://github.com/luweizheng/lulaoshi.info
But I get the following error log when building:

✔ Rendering 124 pages - done in 2.60s
vuepress-plugin-seo2:  ✔ Generating robots.txt
vuepress-plugin-sitemap2:  ✔ Generating sitemap to /sitemap.xml
vuepress-plugin-sitemap2:  ✔ Appended sitemap path to robots.txt

error error in hook onGenerated from vuepress-plugin-redirect
Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, open '/Users/luweizheng/Projects/web/lulaoshi.info/src/.vuepress/dist/machine-learning/attention'

This error message also appears in my CI/CD workflow.

You should use /a/b/index.html instead of /a/b/.

Docs are updated at a59a590

We made some improvements at 6fbea50

Cool. But your improvements need some document updates.

Another question:

I move an article from /posts which is a blog page to /python which is a document page.

Here is my markdown: https://github.com/luweizheng/lulaoshi.info/blob/main/src/python/setup-py/entry-points.md

Now the redirect plugin cannot redirect from blog posts to documents.

@Mister-Hope Hi, could you check why I cannot redirect from blog posts to documents?

[Mister-Hope]

That should work, can you try to provide a minimal reproduction?

[luweizheng]

https://github.com/luweizheng/lulaoshi.info/blob/main/src/python/setup-py/entry-points.md

I put redirectFrom my frontmatter in this document page.

[Mister-Hope]

Why there is an index at the end of the URL?

Your server perform redirects from https://lulaoshi.info/blog/python-setup-entry-points/index.html to https://lulaoshi.info/blog/python-setup-entry-points/index, and that has nothing to do with me.

[luweizheng]

Maybe the apache or other configuration.

But I give it up ...
