Custom URL Scheme doesn't work without prefix (host) ?

[fbrcdx]

Hi every one,

I have a problem with custom url schemes (deeplinks are OK). I can't make a defined route work without a "host" before...

Ex. : mycustomurlscheme://whateveryouwant/myregisteredroute/ OK mycustomurlscheme://myregisteredroute/ ERROR

Here is my AndroidManifest.xml params :

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <data android:scheme="mycustomscheme" />
</intent-filter>

In my plaform's ready :

Deeplinks.route({
    '/myregisteredroute/': 'myroute'
}).subscribe((match) => {
    console.log('A deeplink did match');
}, (nomatch) => {
    console.log('A deeplink didn\'t match');
});

Then, when I call a link like : mycustomurlscheme://whateveryouwant/myregisteredroute/ The plugin see 'whateveryouwant' as a host and bring me 'myregisteredroute' as my path. In this case it works but this is not what I'm looking for.

But when I call a link like : mycustomurlscheme://myregisteredroute/ The plugin see 'myregisteredroute' as a host and bring me '/' as my path.

So the defined path (/myregisteredroute/') is never read if there's no character before.

Am I missing something in the plugin params ? In my point of view, if I'm using a CUSTOM scheme, the host shouldn't be taken into account ? Am I wrong ?

Same problem here

So the host thing is a limitation of the underlying URL parsers and technically is correct, so you'll want to use the format myscheme://app/my/path

The second one, does it work if you remove the trailing slash?

Same problem here, it doesn't work removing the slash. Indeed, if I remove the trailing slash and console.log the match I get the following for a URL without params like beatbleeds://account: {"$link":{"path":"/","queryString":"","fragment":"","host":"account","url":"beatbleeds://account/","scheme":"beatbleeds"}}

And for a route with params beatbleeds://terms-conditions/2 (defined as '/terms-conditions/:tab'): {"$link":{"path":"/2","queryString":"","fragment":"","host":"terms-conditions","url":"beatbleeds://terms-conditions/2","scheme":"beatbleeds"}}

So it appends the slash for the route without params. In both cases the host is the intended path. In the route with params, the params are treated as path.
