Demo showing issue arising when using apostrophe-workflow with prefix.

Apostrophe Workflow Prefix

This repository demonstrates how apostrophe-workflow's link-to-locale generates invalid URLs containing apos.prefix twice, when specifying a prefix in app.js.

When running without a prefix everything works as expected.

Setup

This project is based on apostrophe-boilerplate; apostrophe-workflow has been added and configured with two locales; a locale switcher has been implemented in views/layout.html.

Two locales have been defined to be able to demonstrate switching between locales: en-US and de-AT, both children of the default locale.

Apostrophe workflow has been configured with basic options, according the project's README.md.

Instructions to Reproduce the Error

First, test the app without a prefix set in app.js; everything should work as expexted. Then, set a prefix and test again; the links generated by the locale switcher will contain apos.prefix twice.

Without Prefix

To test without a prefix first, make sure to comment out prefix: '/pre' in app.js`. Then start the app.

1. docker-compose up mongo to start Mongo
2. npm i in another terminal to install packages
3. node app apostrophe-groups:add admin admin to add group
4. node app apostrophe-users:add admin admin to add user
5. npm start to start the app

Login at localhost:3000/login, create the page _New Pagewith slug/new-pagein thedefaultlocale; export to theen-US locale (_New Page_//new-page) and the de-AT locale (_Neue Seite_//neue-seite`), commit all three versions of the page.

The language selector in the top-right corner implemented in views/layout.html should display options for United States and Austria. Clicking on Austria should redirect to /neue-seite, clicking on United States should redirect to /new-page.

With Prefix

Stop the app. Uncomment prefix: '/pre' in app.js. (Re)start the app as described above.

Login at localhost:3000/login, then go to /new-page to display New Page. Now click on Austria in the locale switcher in the to-right corner. The link generated is /pre/pre/neue-seite, which does not exist.

Analysis

The link-to-locale route defined in apostrophe-workflow/lib/routes.js returns a link containing apos.prefix twice.

I'm not yet sure why this happens and how to fix it.
