Saved issues link that 404s is created in index page without issues #408

Closed CxRes closed 1 year ago

[[Since this issue is resolved, the test repositories have been deleted and the links below are dead.]]

A saved issues link is created when creating the index page index.html, irrespective of whether any issues exist in the repo. Since there are no issues in the repo, an issues.html is not created. See https://github.com/CxRes/id-test and https://cxres.github.io/id-test/ for a reproduction.

In my own testing however, issues.html got subsequently created, though I am not sure if the push triggered that or whether that was a result of me poking on Github Actions. You can see a blank issues.html in this test https://github.com/CxRes/id-pre-test-2 eventually gets created.

Yes, this is an asynchronous process, because archiving issues is more expensive. The link from the README in the repository also ends up with a 404 for a short while too. The 404 shouldn't last too long.

Hmmm. So what triggers the archiving and issues.html being built? Is it just something that happens at a random time later or is it influenced by pushes? or something else?

It is periodic. See https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template/blob/eb41d49559216fe5b4c4a3c2b6bf214bfe032f15/template/.github/workflows/archive.yml#L4-L5

I am closing the issue. But it would be nice if this behaviour was documented (unless I have missed it)!
