Previously, for a route like /blog/[slug] where /blog/first-post is prerendered with trailingSlash: 'always', we output the following routing:

{
	"version": 3,
	"routes": [
                 {
                         "src": "/blog/first-post/",
                         "dest": "/blog/first-post"
                 },
		{
			"src": "/blog/first-post",
			"status": 308,
			"headers": {
				"Location": "/about/"
			}
		},
		...
	],
	"overrides": {
		"blog/first-post/index.html": {
			"path": "blog/first-post"
		}
	}
}

The original code from #7725 assumes that the first routing entry is necessary to get /blog/first-post/ to match the path from the overrides, but it's not -- both blog/first-post and blog/first-post/ match this path, so all we really have to do is make sure we deploy a redirect route that sends the user to the correct variant. The new version of this routing code looks like this:

{
	"version": 3,
	"routes": [
		{
			"src": "/blog/first-post",
			"status": 308,
			"headers": {
				"Location": "/about/"
			}
		},
		...
	],
	"overrides": {
		"blog/first-post/index.html": {
			"path": "blog/first-post"
		}
	}
}

Please don't delete this checklist! Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following:

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

  • If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpm changeset and following the prompts. Changesets that add features should be minor and those that fix bugs should be patch. Please prefix changeset messages with feat:, fix:, or chore:.

Edits

  • Please ensure that 'Allow edits from maintainers' is checked. PRs without this option may be closed.

Vercel may actually be adding trailing slash normalization to static file overrides, so we may be able to sidestep this issue entirely. Closing this for now to avoid the unnecessary work.
