url_prefix changed behaviour with 4.2.2

See original GitHub issue

I had Verdaccio 4.2.1 running behind an apache proxy working well and just tried upgrading to latest and it’s no longer working. Tracked the change in behaviour to 4.2.2.

I have the prefix configured in verdaccio’s config:

url_prefix: /npm/

Apache proxy config:

<Location /npm/>
    ProxyPass https://127.0.0.1:4873/ nocanon
    ProxyPassReverse https://127.0.0.1:4873/
    ProxyPreserveHost On
</Location>

With 4.2.1, this is working perfectly. Here’s a diff of the initial GET response from 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 out of Verdaccio itself (not apache):

As you can see, scripted sources are relative in 4.2.2. I can’t see anything in the changelog that would indicate a config change is required or what else might have caused this (maybe it should never have worked like I have it configured?).

A quick diff of the 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 tags shows few changes to verdaccio so I guess it’s one of the dependencies, but I’ve no idea where …

There are a few other issues referencing url_prefix, but they seem to predate 4.2.2 so presumably aren’t related. Apologies if this is just noise, but I am a bit stumped…

Sorry if it wasn’t clear from my previous message, I don’t think it’s anything to do with apache as I get the exact same behaviour with nginx on my server.

Also, since then, I managed to get docker-examples/reverse_proxy/nginx/relative_path running, and that shows the issue too if the location / section is removed.

With the default config from the example (location / still there), then you can see a bunch of requests don’t have the url_prefix. Here’s a quick summary of the URLs (as seen from the browser in this case):

… and so on …

I am experiencing the exact same problem. Only the favicon is correctly retrieved from the url_prefix. Everything else is served from root, which is not where the files reside. The favicon in the template uses: htmlWebpackPlugin.options.verdaccioURL to retreive the correct URL for the config.

I think it may be the rootURL in the env.js. https://github.com/verdaccio/ui/blob/master/config/env.js

The API is still working correctly and a comparison of the two shows they resolve this path differently. This looks to have changed in the UI here: https://github.com/verdaccio/ui/commit/6b5d0b7e2e37c4f0324b17b5794a01ebec49a71e#diff-8cc96276187f94a8094f05846514a3a7
