Middleman 4 Relative Assets Exclude Page

Question

I'm trying to use the relative_assets extension in Middleman 4.2.1.

I have one page that I need to have absolute assets on, which is my /404.html page. I found the available options listed in the source here. It looks like I should be able to pass the ignore option an array of regexes to exclude.

I've tried to use this in my config.rb:

activate :relative_assets do |assets|
  assets.ignore = ["/404.html"]
end

However, I still get relative assets on the 404 page. How to properly exclude certain files from relative_assets?

I've also tried various other combinations such as:

["404"], ["/404"], ["\/404.html"], ["\/404"]

However, none of these seem to work either.

I have also tried this technique with no success. It appears that the relative: false option is overridden when using the relative_assets plugin for both the stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag.

Answer 1

I'm late to the party, but searching for a solution to my 404 page problem led me to this question, which ultimately allowed me to solve the problem.

You want to use rewrite_ignore instead of ignore, e.g.,

activate :relative_assets do |assets| assets.rewrite_ignore = [/404/, /500/] end

I think ignore by itself ignores the asset file.

So, hope this helps, and thank you for leading me the right way!
