Public folder broken in devserver

Bug Report

Describe the bug

I think https://github.com/pedronauck/docz/commit/4157e054393c532e0e51605ad2186ac5dce1e19d broke public assets folder in dev-mode. Previously the public folder was hosted at /public, now it is used publicDir (so it is hosted at /).

See the difference between: https://github.com/pedronauck/docz/commit/4157e054393c532e0e51605ad2186ac5dce1e19d#diff-0a3cd3c257db10b0bb4b70618def4ef6R18 https://github.com/pedronauck/docz/commit/4157e054393c532e0e51605ad2186ac5dce1e19d#diff-0a3cd3c257db10b0bb4b70618def4ef6L47

To Reproduce

1. In doczrc.js, set public: '/public'.
2. Add an image: ![](/public/test.png)
3. Build with docz build (everything works as expected)
4. Build with docz dev

The image won’t work, since it’s not found at /public/test.png. It is instead hosted at /test.png.

Expected behavior

The public folder should be hosted the same way in both docz dev and docz build.

export default {
  base: "/specifications/",
}

  const publicDirPath = path.resolve(paths.root, args.public)
  // ^ C:\Users\USER\WebstormProjects\specifications\public
  const publicDir = path.join(paths.root, publicDirPath)
  // ^ C:\Users\USER\WebstormProjects\specifications\C:\Users\olfedias\WebstormProjects\specifications\public

public is completely broken on Windows 😦

I ran into the same issue, so made a PR: https://github.com/pedronauck/docz/pull/614/commits

This does not only seem to be a Windows issue, I’m facing the exact same on OSX (and have it fixed once I apply the appropriate fix).
