Frontmatter permalink + plaintext not working for txt file outputs

joeyfigaro commented 7 months ago

Maizzle Version: 4.8.2
Node.js Version: 9.5.1 (Node v18.16.0)

Problem

Using plaintext in a template's frontmatter where you've also specified a different destination filename via permalink doesn't produce a renamed txt file. It only applies the permalink configuration to the html output.

Steps

Configure plaintext in your maizzle config to produce html and plaintext templates:

/** @type {import('@maizzle/framework').Config} */
module.exports = {
build: {
posthtml: {
  options: {
    decodeEntities: true,
    replaceQuote: false,
  },
},
browsersync: {},
templates: {
  source: "src/templates",
  plaintext: {
    skipHtmlDecoding: true,
    destination: {
      path: "build_local",
      extension: "txt",
    },
  },
  destination: {
    path: "build_local",
  },
  omit: ["src/**/.archive/*"],
  assets: [
    {
      destination: "images",
      source: "src/images",
    },
  ],
},
},
};

Add empty production config


/*
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Production config                       https://maizzle.com/docs/environments
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This is where you define settings that optimize your emails for production.
| These will be merged on top of the base config.js, so you only need to
| specify the options that are changing.
|
*/

// since the base config is merged in with this during production builds // and our base config uses env vars for configuring, we don't need overrides for production module.exports = {};


3. Create a `testing.html` template and configure `permalink` and `plaintext` in its frontmatter:
```html
---
permalink: permalink_testing_build/permalink-override.html
plaintext: true
---

<x-main>
  <h1>Permalink + Plaintext Reproduction</h1>
  <p>This template ends up in permalink_testing_build/permalink-override.html</p>
  <p>its plaintext version ends up living in build_local/testing.txt, though</p>
</x-main>

Run a production build maizzle build production
Observe permalink-override.html at the provided permalink path and a testing.txt file in the original build_local directory

Day late, but here's the repro I put together: https://github.com/joeyfigaro/maizzle-permalink-repro

Build results for .txt and .html outputs

Thanks for the detailed report Joey, looks like a bug indeed. Will look into it and fix it 👍

This will be fixed in 5.0.0, unfortunately I don't have enough time to also fix it in v4.x sorry!
