BaseURL other than / makes troubles

@GavinJoyce we host our ember app in a subdirectory called /app, when I use Ember-Href-To the links does not work, because Ember-Href-To resolves the links to /app/app. We are using Ember-CLI and our environment.js looks as follows:

module.exports = function (environment) {
    var ENV = {
        environment: environment,
        baseURL: '/app/'
        // ...
        // ...
    }
    return ENV;
}

I solved it by making my own helper based on Ember-Href-To. The helper looks as follows:

import Ember from 'ember';
import { hrefTo } from 'ember-href-to/helpers/href-to';

export function hrefToX(params/*, hash*/) {
    var url = hrefTo(params);
    var baseURL = APPENV.baseURL.replace(/\/$/, ''); // APPENV is globally available... jeah this is a relict from our old code from ember-cli 0.0.39
    url = url.replace(baseURL, '');
    return url;
}

export default Ember.Helper.helper(hrefToX);

It works but if I hover the links built with hrefToX the links dont contain the /app/. This does not happen with link-to. Is my solution the right way to go or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks a lot

baseURL is going to die 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 . See https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/pull/5792 and a blog post we are working on in https://github.com/emberjs/website/pull/2569.

baseURL is dead as of 3.0. Nominate for closure.
