Redirect old REPL to the new one about fable-compiler.github.io HOT 8 CLOSED

Nevermind it's available at a different URL. Google search is not up-to-date.

Ah, sorry. Yeah, the URL has changed from fable.io/repl.html to fable.io/repl. There's a link now in the navbar of fable.io main pages (but not on the REPL itself, that's something I still need to change).

The issue is when a user comes from Google since they still show the old URL. Could you maybe add a redirection fable.io/repl.html -> fable.io/repl?

Good point! I gave it a try and unfortunately it's a bit tricky. The web is hosted on Github so I can make redirects using a Jekyll plugin but this is not working well with the local server I'm using for development. I tried to do it with JS (setting window.location) but this caused an infinite loop with urls like /repl.html and /repl.

I'll try to check later if there's a cleaner solution. Please tell me if you have any other idea 👍

Is /repl and /repl.html the same page? I would create a new page with just a direction to the new one.

I re-opened and re-purposed this issue.

from fable-compiler.github.io.

In my local server I did that and it worked well. But when I pushed the changes, the GH server when you look for fable.io/repl apparently it checks first if there's a fable.io/repl.html, it finds it, the it's redirected to fable.io/repl, then checks again for fable.io/repl.html... trapped in that loop forever :/

Ok, note that it's the same with the blog.

from fable-compiler.github.io.

Yes, it's the same for the main pages. The blog is even worse, because it's temporarily removed, I have to re-add it :)
