{{podBaseUrl}} no longer available in v7

[Martin Vanbrabant]

Environment

• Server version: 7.0.2
• npm version: 9.6.7

Description

In the pod template, {{podBaseUrl}} expands to nothing (as opposed to what it did in v5 and v6).

Note

{{podBaseUrl}} Is still used in templates/pod/base/README$.md.hbs

Question

If not possible to solve, is there a workaround to obtain a pod's base URL in a custom pod template (my use case)?

[Martin Vanbrabant]

As my use case has fixed pod names (my-pod) in different server instances, I can workaround temporarily by replacing {{podBaseUrl}} with {{oidcIssuer}}my-pod/.

[Joachim Van Herwegen]

This was indeed changed for v7 and probably got lost somewhere between the other changes. You can use {{base.path}} now. The README file will have to be updated to also use that one.

With the same need, I just replaced {{podBaseUrl}} by ../

I guess that's OK in a markdown file, but not in a turtle file...

By the way, {{base.path}} works fine. It includes the trailing slash, so points nicely to the pod's base container.

Turtle do support relative file notation. This makes human readability much easier.

You're right!
Let's however not discourage the possibility of {{base.path}} as a general, location independent alternative...
