This is my firebase.json file:
{
"hosting": {
"target": "md-viewer",
"public": "public",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "/",
"destination": "create_md.html"
},
{
"source": "/view/*",
"destination": "show_md.html"
}]
}
}
When running firebase serve, the rewrites work as expected. However, deploying and opening my app ("appname.firebaseapp.com") returns 404. The deployment is succesful since I can customize the 404 page, and access my files by asking for them directly (appname.firebaseapp.com/show_md.html, for example).
What's wrong? Shouldn't firebase serve mirror online behaviour?
If the "destination" key on the rewrite rule is a file, it has to be referenced with an absolute path:
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "/",
"destination": "/create_md.html"
},
{
"source": "/view/**",
"destination": "/show_md.html"
}]
Also, the "/view" rewrite needs two asterisks, according to the documentation.
