Getting "external link" errors on an internal link

[thenor]

When running html-proofer on our pelux.io site (https://github.com/Pelagicore/pelux.io) I get a External link https://pelux.io/downloads/v1.0/ failed: 404 No error Even though the link is an internal link (the link to 'PELUX 1.0' at the bottom of the 'Downloads' page).

This is the current way the link is written: [PELUX 1.0](v1.0) I have also tried writing it like this, with the same error: [PELUX 1.0]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link downloads-v1.0.md %})

When I generate it locally the link looks like this: <a href="v1.0">PELUX 1.0</a> (which to me looks very much like an internal link).

When I run "bundle exec jekyll serve" it works, but when I run "bundle exec jekyll build" and then "bundle exec htmlproofer _site" I get the above error.

It may look internal, but html-proofer has no idea what the domain of your site is. If you wish for it to be considered internal, you could write the links as /downloads/v1.0/, which implies a relative path.

I tested writing it this way and got the same failure.

I can't reproduce this:

Was the initial issue fixed on the site? I do still see

<h2 id="older-releases-not-maintained">Older releases (not maintained)</h2>
<ul>
  <li><a href="v1.0">PELUX 1.0</a></li>
</ul>

in the output.

The page is generated correctly, but I still see the error for the "PELUX 1.0" link if I run html-proofer on it. I did a --url-ignore \"/pelux.io/downloads/\" _site" to get around the error in the tests.

[gjtorikian]

I see it, too; what I'm saying is in the output above, even without --url-ignore, the error is not reproducible:

HTML-Proofer finished successfully.

Can I ask what operating system you're running this command on?

I was running this on Ubuntu 18.04. I tried running it myself again and now I don't see the error either. When I check back on the logs I see that the issue occurs when I have bundler version 1.15.1, but now when I run it I have version 1.16.1 and don't see the issue.
