Markdown Visual Editor and Midnight theme (at least) don't work

[julianfairfax]

Hi,

I'm trying to use this but getting this error on desktop: "The extension was not found on your system, possibly because it is still downloading. If the extension doesn't load, try uninstalling then reinstalling the extension.". On the web version it simply doesn't load.

I'm hosting this on GitLab Pages. Can I not do that? Everything is accessible: https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/index.json, https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/markdown-visual/index.json, https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/markdown-visual/1.0.7/public/index.html, etc.

I also tried hosting it on GitHub Pages but this creates the same issue. https://github.com/julianfairfax/standard-notes-extensions. I guess this just doesn't work?

I attempted locally self-hosting as follows (with a correct .env):

git clone https://github.com/iganeshk/standardnotes-extensions.git
cd standardnotes-extensions
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd public/
python3 -m http.server

I had to replace occurrences of my hostname in the extensions indexes to include the port :8000, but this was easy. Standard Notes still experiences the same errors. I'm starting to appear to be out of options.

I even ran with nginx (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf):

#user http;
worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;

}

But that says 404 not found for http://localhost/index.json and 403 forbidden for http://localhost/extensions/index.json

I also tried hosting it on GitHub Pages but this creates the same issue. https://github.com/julianfairfax/standard-notes-extensions. I guess this just doesn't work?

https://julianfairfax.github.io/standard-notes-extensions/index.json seems to be redirecting to https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/index.json. This would make sense because of https://github.com/julianfairfax/julianfairfax.github.io/blob/main/CNAME but my understanding is that the contents of https://github.com/julianfairfax/standard-notes-extensions/tree/gh-pages should be given priority over the redirect? I guess this is not the case.

In any case, I want GitLab Pages to work. If that's not possible then GitHub Pages. And if neither work then I will settle for nginx provided that that works and that I can use it along side a prexisting nginx configuration (seems so since this is /extensions and the other is just /)

[julianfairfax]

Turns out I forgot to deploy https://github.com/julianfairfax/standard-notes-extensions/tree/gh-pages but that's fixed now. And I don't have a CNAME file, which seems to redirect every visit to julianfairfax.github.io/* to julianfairfax.githlab.io/*, even if the page is itself hosted on julianfairfax.github.io as well. However, neither the Visual Editor nor the Midnight theme work. Token Vault does, but it actually also works with the version I have hosted on GitLab Pages.

So it seems that a CNAME on GitHub Pages makes the whole GitHub Pages site inaccessible, even if content is hosted on it (doesn't just redirect what isn't), the Visual Editor and Midnight theme (at least) don't work, and hosting from GitLab Pages is the same as hosting from GitHub Pages (doesn't make anything additional work though).

It's important to note that the Markdown Visual Editor that's broken (at least that one, probably others) doesn't show a "interact with your note" box either. It just doesn't work at all. And if you visit it online at https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/markdown-visual/1.0.7/public/index.html or https://julianfairfax.github.io/standard-notes-extensions/markdown-visual/1.0.7/public/index.html it's a blank page. Whereas visiting another editor like Token Vault at https://julianfairfax.gitlab.io/standard-notes-extensions/token-vault/2.0.10/dist/index.html or https://julianfairfax.github.io/standard-notes-extensions/token-vault/2.0.10/dist/index.html displays the editor perfectly fine.
