Delimiter in URL no longer reflects in the regex box #2249

Closed quixrick closed 3 months ago

quixrick commented 3 months ago

Bug Description

I have the following bookmarked: https://regex101.com/?delimiter=~

It used to be that when I went to regex101, the tilde would automatically populate in the regex box. This no longer works.

Reproduction steps

Go to https://regex101.com/?delimiter=~ and notice that the delimiter is a forward slash.

Expected Outcome

The delimiter should be a tilde.

Browser

Include browser name and version Chrome v123

OS

Include OS name and version Windows 10

Hey @quixrick,

I cannot say I've monitored for changes in the way the fill-by-url works, so I'll have to trust you 😃

As far as I can tell, there's both caching and some minimum requirement thing going on. So if you load this url and then change the delimiter to something else, it won't change. However, as soon as you make another change, it'll update the delimiter.

Also, it looks like just passing delimiter= alone won't do anything - you need at least regex= passed as well.

As far as I understand this was not meant to be an official thing, so I am not sure how likely it is that it's being monitored for regressions and such.

Hope this helps!

I am able to append "&regex=z" and it works.

https://regex101.com/?delimiter=~&regex=z

Good enough for me. Thank you!
