Sveltekit build result works fine in cloud, fails with swa cli

[ktarmyshov]

Before filing this issue, please ensure you're using the latest CLI by running swa --version and comparing to the latest version on npm.

demo % npx swa --version
2.0.4

Are you accessing the CLI from the default port :4280 ?

• [ ] No, I am using a different port number (--port) and accessing the CLI from that port
• [X] Yes, I am accessing the CLI from port :4280

Make sure you are accessing the URL printed in the console when running swa start!

• [X] ℹ️ NOTE: Make sure to enable debug logs when running any swa commands using --verbose=silly

Describe the bug The build result of the SvelteKit app with svelte-adapter-azure-swa deployed to the azure swa cloud works fine.

https://polite-desert-00b80111e.2.azurestaticapps.net/

Tests (automated and manual) fail with swa cli.

To Reproduce This branch is minimally different to main to start swa cli for the demo app

git clone -b feat/update [email protected]:ktarmyshov/svelte-adapter-azure-swa.git
cd svelte-adapter-azure-swa
npm ci
npm pack
cd demo
npm ci
npx playwright install
npm run test:swa

Manual:

• run npm run swa
• Navigate to http://localhost:4280/ - works
• Click to "about" - works
• Click to "sverdle" - works
• Navigate to http://localhost:4280/about or click refresh in "about" page - 404
• Navigate to http://localhost:4280/sverdle or click refresh in "sverdle" page - too many redirects

Expected behavior Should work same as azure cloud - should not fail.

Screenshots N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS

Der dev team,

more context/research:

It seems there is an issue with SWA serving static/prerenderd content (adding trailing slashes or other). Here is the repro code without prerendered content. Although one test fails, in this version there is no issue with 404 or too many redirects.

git clone -b feat/update-noprerender [email protected]:ktarmyshov/svelte-adapter-azure-swa.git
cd svelte-adapter-azure-swa
npm ci
npm pack
cd demo
npm ci
npx playwright install
npm run test:swa

Found the issue - seems like SWA always adds the leading slash - so if you access /sverdle the local SWA runtime will redirect you to /sverdle/ but then SvelteKit will redirect you back to /sverdle and so on.

The only way to fix this is to set trailingSlash = 'always' in SvelteKit.

+layout.server.ts:

export const trailingSlash = 'always';
