A cross-origin url on _coverpage file cannot be redirected to if "routerMode" is set to "history"

Bug Report

Steps to reproduce

Set these lines in index.html

  window.$docsify = {
    //...
    loadSidebar: true,
    routerMode: 'history',
    coverpage: true,
    onlyCover: true,

Then use any other doman URLs in _coverpage file, See below…

<a href="https://rstudio.com/auth-sign-in">Login</a><br />

What is the current behavior

when clicking on the link on the cover page there is no response, while checking the browser console getting the following error.

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute ‘pushState’ on ‘History’: A history state object with URL ‘https://rstudio.com/auth-sign-in’ cannot be created in a document with origin ‘https://datatools.inhouse.com’ and URL ‘https://datatools.inhouse.com/’. at https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify/lib/docsify.min.js:1:93866

What is the expected behavior

Redirect to the mentioned web page directly.

Other relevant information

• Bug does still occur when all/other plugins are disabled?

• Your OS: Using the docsify index.html file in an apache container, the apache server serves the web site.

• Docsify version: Using “src=”//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify/lib/docsify.min.js" " in the index page. I believe this will use the latest version of docsify.

• Have you seen this issue with other docsify projects? Yes, see #1046 @Koooooo-7 @anikethsaha

• Docsify plugins:

1. search.min.js
2. docsify-plugin-flexible-alerts
3. mermaid.js

I’m also facing the same issue.

@Koooooo-7 Thank you for the solution, I tried the same and it worked as expected.

Aha, no problem.

I’ve solved the issue differently using href attribute ‘“target=”_blank’. See below.

<a href=“https://rstudio.com/rsc/connect/#/login/” target="blank">

Adding the ‘“target=”_blank’ with the URL solved the issue by opening it in a different browser tab.

Cool.
