I do not entirely understand the meaning of this error message, but what I can notice is that there is a missing forward slash between the website URL utvik.netlify.app and the filename index.json, which likely seems to break this URL request.
If I trace this back to the congo repo, the only reference to index.json I can find is appearing in file assets/js/search.js on line 110 where I believe the search index is built:
There seems to be a concatenation of strings between baseURL and "index.json" happening, which is where I believe I would need a forward slash inserted in order for the URL request not to break.
I'm not certain that this will fix my issue of search not working, but it should however likely be a step in the right direction.
Since I don't know JavaScript, I don't feel comfortable enough to open a pull request where I have inserted a single / in front of the index.json string. Spontaneously, I feel like the rigorous solution should be something like verifying that the variable baseURL contains a single trailing forward slash, but I don't know enough JavaScript to implement this myself in a robust way.
Btw, thanks for a great theme with amazing documentation, this deserves major props.

What happened?
Problem
The search bar on my website functions normally when served locally, but does not work when deployed to Netlify. When the search icon is clicked, the search bar appears seemingly as per normal, but it doesn't do anything, no matter what is typed into the search box.
Links
Website: https://utvik.netlify.app Repo: https://github.com/eliaserland/utviksbygdegard
Investigation
If I do an F12 in my browser I get this error message when I click the search icon:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://utvik.netlify.appindex.json/. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).
I do not entirely understand the meaning of this error message, but what I can notice is that there is a missing forward slash between the website URL
utvik.netlify.app
and the filenameindex.json
, which likely seems to break this URL request.If I trace this back to the congo repo, the only reference to
index.json
I can find is appearing in fileassets/js/search.js
on line 110 where I believe the search index is built:There seems to be a concatenation of strings between
baseURL
and"index.json"
happening, which is where I believe I would need a forward slash inserted in order for the URL request not to break.I'm not certain that this will fix my issue of search not working, but it should however likely be a step in the right direction.
Since I don't know JavaScript, I don't feel comfortable enough to open a pull request where I have inserted a single
/
in front of theindex.json
string. Spontaneously, I feel like the rigorous solution should be something like verifying that the variablebaseURL
contains a single trailing forward slash, but I don't know enough JavaScript to implement this myself in a robust way.Btw, thanks for a great theme with amazing documentation, this deserves major props.
