(just noticed you're working on this: I might have just encountered a bug with the dev server while testing out the latest canary, involving passthrough paths not being served. I'm working on a minimal reproduction...)

This is the line that's misbehaving (works fine with npm run build but not npm run serve):

eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy({'legacy/':'.'});

Works fine with --serve if eleventyConfig.setServerPassthroughCopyBehavior("copy"); is used.

Anyway, thought I'd mention it in case you wanted a cleaner 1.0 that doesn't need an additional bug fixed. :-)

Will have an issue up soon; I just figured out that it has to do with the fact that my legacy directory has subdirectories within it; those get copied over, but not served.

Make sure you’ve upgraded to the latest canary!

This reproduces on 2.0.0-canary.29. Hmm, my diagnosis might not be correct and I don't have a way to reproduce the issue in isolation yet; will keep you posted.

I figured it out – if the directory that is the target of a passthrough copy has subdirectories, the files do get served if you go to them directly, e.g. the URL http://localhost:8080/mobile-wiki/index.html will serve the index.html file. But the URLs http://localhost:8080/mobile-wiki and http://localhost:8080/mobile-wiki/ will not serve the index.html file if the passthrough copy behavior is "passthrough". Not sure if that qualifies as a bug, but definitely had me chasing this down for a while.

Anyway, I apologize for co-opting your issue! I should have waited and filed a separate issue once I figured out what was going on. Let me know if you'd like me to file this now that I can put up some instructions on how to reproduce it. (And thanks for your work on 2.0 – I've been excited to try it out!)

Edit: Just noticed that this behavior can be reproduced in a simpler setting: 1. Make a passthrough rule that copies a directory, e.g. dir, over, and 2. make sure it has an index.html file inside it. Then if the copy behavior is "passthrough", visiting dir/ will 404 while visiting dir/index.html will not, but if copy behavior is "copy" then both will work.

No worries @yurivish I did file your issue at 11ty/eleventy-dev-server#43 though I don’t know that it will make 1.0 (dev server)/2.0 (eleventy)!

This is complete, v1.0 of the Eleventy Dev Server is now available.
