BasePath Issue

[GameEnder]

I have having a issue getting the BasePath setting to work. I have it set to "/rdt" in the appsettings.json and when I do nothing will show up anymore. Have cleared browser cache, and tried different browsers (Firefox and Chrome), Both never load the page is just blank and is not redirected to the login page.

This is on the Linux Service version inside of lxc container.

I can post the log but nothing shows up when I try an access the page.

I'm facing the same issue under similar circumstances. It seems the BasePath setting is not having any effect. The service remains accessible from ip:port but not from ip:port/rdt or url.xyz/rdt. The logs show the following error (I don't know what the heck I'm doing so who knows if this is relevant):

This should be fixed in the next version, feel free to comment if it's still broken.

[GameEnder]

It still dose not seem to be working. I just get a white page after setting the base path setting to anything other then null.

[rogerfar]

Can you check your browser console and see what that says?

[GameEnder]

This is the log on when I try and load the page:

just tested this as well with the same result. here's what the chromium console offered up:

I checked rdtclient.log and don't really see anything, but here it is just in case.

[rogerfar]

That usually means it's trying to load a JS file, but the server is returning plain HTML.

If you check the console tab, could you check the response part for a failed request:

[j-cray]

For sure. I wonder why it is trying to load a js file. Here is the response output:

        if (baseElement) {
          var hrefValue = baseElement.getAttribute("href");
          window["_app_base"] = hrefValue;
          console.log("setting base href to " + window["_app_base"]);

[rogerfar]

@j-cray and I assume that your appsettings.json still has the basepath set to /rdt right?

[j-cray]

Exactly. I've left it set for testing purposes here. I'm accessing rdt-client from ip:port/rdt so no reverse proxy is getting in the way or anything.

[rogerfar]

The odd thing is that it seems that the CSS files are loaded correctly right?

[j-cray]

Indeed! I can read the full stylesheet in the inspector, and I can see the style in the html file. So there are definitely signs of life, it's just not all loading in properly. A couple other small details I notice are that the title is correctly displayed on the tab, but the favicon isn't, not sure if that tells us anything.

[imran0]

Did we ever get a fix for this? I too cannot get rdt working with a different base path url

[Oorweeg]

Just been trying to set this up myself but having the same issues as others reported here by the looks of it. Just loads a blank page 😢

[rogerfar]

What does your network tab in the developer console say? Does it try to load the correct JS and CSS files?

[Oorweeg]

What does your network tab in the developer console say? Does it try to load the correct JS and CSS files?

yes. I get the same issue as above where the .js files are blocked because they are tried to be loaded as the wrong MIME type text/HTML so I get a 200 for them but the size is 0Bytes.

Running the docker container and after setting BASE_PATH to /rdt-client just getting a white page when opening in browser

[nickkitto]

I am having the same issue. Set the base path to /rdt inside the appsettings.json file and restart the app.

With or without the base path changed, the js/css are served under the root, ie it is always under http://localhost:6500/runtime.52f1d05aa6c3afea.js

Base path	Attempted path	Result
	http://localhost:6500/runtime.52f1d05aa6c3afea.js	Success
/rdt	http://localhost:6500/rdt/runtime.52f1d05aa6c3afea.js	Failure

When hitting an non valid url it is returning the index page which cannot be parsed as css/js.

[rogerfar]

@nickkitto how are you using rdt? I'm having troubles reproducing this.

[nickkitto]

I am on Windows 11.

I just reran these steps:

• Downloaded latest version from releases page (2.0.81.0)
• Extracted to C:\rdtclient2
• Edited appsettings.json and changed "BasePath": null to "BasePath": "/rdt".
• Ran RdtClient.Web.exe
• Tried to visit http://localhost:6500/rdt and got the above issue.

The same issue occurs for me when running as a service. I have also tried rdt and /rdt/ as the base path. It also occurs if I set the env var BASE_PATH and have nothing in the appsettings.json

I also tried running it via the source, had the same issue (just copied wwwroot into the RdtClient.Web folder). Will see if I can figure anything else for you.

[rogerfar]

Ok I see, that's a very different usecase. The BasePath options are just informing RDT that it can expect to be served from there, usually when it's used with a reverse-proxy. When launching RDT, it's using the kestrel server, but it's not configuring the base path on kestrel.

[nickkitto]

In Program.cs, I added app.UsePathBase($"/{basePath.TrimStart('/').TrimEnd('/')}/"); and it works as per my expectation. I can make a PR, but I am a little unsure of your usecase and whether this affects it, and hence whether you would add this under a different flag etc.

I am reverse proxying (maybe I am mixing up the type?) through IIS, with other apps (sonarr, radarr, nzbhydra, sabnzbd, prowlarr). I just have a rewrite rule like so

<rule name="RDT" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="^rdt(.*)" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:6500/rdt{R:1}" />
</rule>

Having a quick look at radarr/sonarr source code since they are also using a similar backend stack, they set this setting as above, and have it labelled as URL Base in their configuration. I would assume others like me thought it was similar based on this.

[rogerfar]

I can add app.UsePathBase($"/{basePath.TrimStart('/').TrimEnd('/')}/"); and see if that helps.

I used your example and without it, it also works for me.

Try running the project in Visual Studio as the IIS Express profile, that one is configured to use the BASE_PATH env variable.

[nickkitto]

Running it via IIS Express does work fine.

I believe in launchsettings.json you have set applicationUrl to also have test. I think that when this is hosted by IIS Express it will serve it all under here, hence why it is working as expected when running with the IIS Express profile.

The UsePathBase seems like it will do the same thing under kestrel. This would make it work perfectly for me and I imagine others.

[Oorweeg]

Basepath is working now for me with 2.0.86 in docker on Linux behind Nginx reverse proxy

[nickkitto]

I updated to 2.0.86 and the compiled version works great for me too. Thanks for the quick turnaround Roger!

[GameEnder]

Not working still in the non docker version.

Edit: Never mind. Helps if you save the config file.
