prependPrefix and cacheIdFromPath doesn't allow absolute paths

[ivanbreet]

Hi,

Unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to get absolute paths for my templates. Both prependPrefix and cacheIdFromPath strips the initial /.

I'm using Angular in some Drupal modules and themes, and that means that they don't exist in the root but in a sub-subdirectories, and the page runs from the root with clean URLs, making relative template calls a problem.

I specify it as follows:

ngHtml2JsPreprocessor: {
    prependPrefix: '/sites/all/modules/_custom/',
    cacheIdFromPath: function(filepath) {
      return '/sites/all/modules/_custom/' + filepath;
    }
}

..but it strips the initial / as per the following:

angular.module('sites/all/modules/_custom/list.html', []).run(function($templateCache) {
  $templateCache.put('sites/all/modules/_custom/list.html',
    'angular.module(\'sites/all/modules/_custom/list.html\', []).run(function($templateCache) {\n' +
    '  $templateCache.put(\'sites/all/modules/_custom/list.html\',\n' +
    '    \'<span>test</span +\n' +
    '    \'\');\n' +
    '});\n' +
    '');
});

..causing the following error:

Error: No module: /sites/all/modules/_custom/list.html

It works if I manually add a html.js file with the absolute path.

Same issue with html2js task ! :) Would be great if that could work.

Subscribing. Having the exact same issue.

Is there a fix for this issue?

I'm wondering the same thing. This is a major issue for me as I cannot load any templates for my karma tests.

Hmm, effectively, the relativeness of a path seems to be forced here: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-ng-html2js-preprocessor/blob/60d0ce66a561ab0f7390a2a11446797abc9bb9ed/lib/html2js.js#L38 without much room of overriding this logic.

@vojtajina do you happen to remember why this logic was put in place? Should we make it less "radical" / configurable?

If the relative path is best practice, could there at least be a 'forceAbsolute' option or something?
