document base url does not update when URL changes in a single-page-app?

I discovered a bug in my app that uses tinymce-react, related to the handling of relative URLs. I’m not certain, but I’m guessing that it’s related to how document_base_url is handled.

Here’s how I’ve observed the bug:

• Page loads with a url like dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/My_School/My_course_(Fall_2018)
• User navigates to dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/My_School/My_course_(Fall_2018)/timeline
• TinyMCE field contains a link like /training/students/getting-started.
• After saving, the now-relative updated url is one level off of what it originally was.

In contrast, the relative url is still pointed to the correct place after saving if the user loads dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/My_School/My_course_(Fall_2018)/timeline initially.

@ragesoss, Setting the convert_url option to false fixes the issue in your reproduction app. I’ll be closing this now but let me know if you’re still having the issue and this doesn’t work out for you in your real use case!

@SimonFc thanks! Didn’t see this until now, but I thought I had worked around the situation in my app… discovered today that the workaround wasn’t quite complete, and went searching for this thread. Yep, convert_urls: true fixed it.
