Regression: Router breaks navigation to custom home URL

[elringus]

Describe the bug

When using custom home page and themeConfig.logoLink is set to that paget, after any navigation happens in the docs, clicking the logo loads 404 page. See video below for a demo.

Reproduction

Not sure how reproduce this in a sandbox (the docs have to be deployed), but here are the sources of the demo above: https://github.com/naninovel/Documentation/tree/master/docs

Notice, that the bug only kicks in after some navigation happens in the docs; eg, it won't reproduce if you open the docs and immediately click the logo (in this case the home page will load correctly).

Expected behavior

Clicking on logo should load custom home page.

This was likely fixed in vitepress 1.0.0-rc.29. Can you try updating your deps.

[elringus]

I've actually tested this on the latest rc.31 (in a branch).

Just to make sure I've updated to 31 on the main branch and deployed — still the same issue.

Try changing the logoLink: "https://naninovel.com" in your configuration to logoLink: "//naninovel.com" or logoLink: "naninovel.com".

Try changing the logoLink: "https://naninovel.com" in your configuration to logoLink: "//naninovel.com" or logoLink: "naninovel.com".

Didn't work: naniovel.com in logo link redirects to https://naninovel.com/guide/naninovel.com when logo is clicked.

Notice, that I'm using custom ./docs/public/index.html and don't have ./docs/index.md. Previously it worked fine on deployment and in preview, but in dev it was returning 404 (which I didn't mind); I remember in some of the recent patches you've mentioned something about making router both in dev and preview work the same, may this is where it regressed (can't find the exact release to test).

[zonemeen]

Is it still not working if you set it to logoLink: "//naninovel.com"?

The temporary workaround I can think of is this.🤔

Nope, still the same behavior.

[brc-dd]

Use this in next version:

    logoLink: {
      link: '/',
      target: '_self'
    },

It should work fine in dev too.
