eleventy --serve adding trailing slash to manifest.json

[heath3]

Describe the bug When running eleventy --serve for local development if I try to access my manifest.json I get a 301 redirect to /manifest.json/ (i.e. including a trailing slash) which then errors.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run npx @11ty/eleventy --serve
2. Go to https:localhost'8080/manifest.json
3. See error

Expected behavior The manifest.jsonshould be served

• OS and Version: Mac OS 11
• Eleventy Version: 1.0.1

@heath3 I'm unable to reproduce that locally on macOS 12.4 w/ [email protected]: https://github.com/pdehaan/11ty-2484

npm run serve

> [email protected] serve
> eleventy --serve

And if I navigate to http://localhost:8081/manifest.json locally, it seems to show me my fake manifest JSON file:

{
  "generator": "Eleventy v1.0.1"
}

Hi @heath3,

did you set a permalink in your manifest.json or have it set as a passthrough copy? By default it might be interpreted as a template or not even picked up correctly.

What files do you see in your output folder and does it work correctly when running in "normal" build mode?

It's just a .json file which is copied over via addPassthroughCopy. I hadn't checked in on it in a while and I may well have made changes in the meantime but it appears to be working just fine now in --serve mode so I'll close. Thanks.
