Links to Job Postings Broken

[s-espinosa]

When you click on a link to view a job posting on an external site, the app takes you back to the main page instead of to the external link. The link is captured in the address bar, but a link to our application precedes it, and causes our root page to render.

The ability to visit external links was working previously. However, when we changed the router in PR 70 it appears we broke it.

May need to determine how to use external links when using hashHistory, or potentially revisit alternatives to hashHistory to respond to issue 63. Research on that issue may provide alternatives, particularly this link.

In my attempt to replicate this issue, I discovered that the changes made in #63 seem to have broken navigation to the detail page when running the application locally. This is preventing me from replicating this issue (#71) when running locally. When running locally and I click "view detail", the app hangs and shows "Loading..." I narrowed this down to the the render method in the JobShow component, which is in turn is supposed to render the JobDetail component. It's specifically hitting this line

What's interesting is that I can't reproduce this in the production app, where clicking "view detail" is working fine, but trying to navigate to the external job listing is broken.

Recording what I put in my WIP PR yesterday:

I'm having trouble replicating issue #63

So I discovered when removing hashHistory, running webpack-dev-server by npm run dev that the app seems to properly render the detail page AND properly opens a new tab to the external job posting when clicking "view job posting."

It also seems to work correctly if I run npm run build and npm start. So maybe it was a build issue, and not a routing issue? I'll keep looking into this.

Robbie and I successfully replicated issue #63 this afternoon.
