When editing CSS file, using the background tab, I choose a file in the subdirectory of the css file, select it with the FileChooser window. My directory structure is something like : public/application/stylecheets/project.css public/application/stylecheets/img/my-image.gif The result is '../img/my-image.gif' instead of 'img/my-image.gif'. I don't know if it's related to Rails project.
The stylebuilder UI likely uses the project's root directory as the base. There's org.netbeans.modules.web.common.spi.ProjectWebRootQuery which could be used exactly for such case (beyond others). There isn't an instance of ProjectWebRootProvider registered for RHTML so far so it wouldn't work even if I fix the stylebuilder. Erno, can you please make an implementation of the ProjectWebRootProvider and put it to your (rails) project lookup? I would do that, but I do not understand the rails project structure so I could possibly make it wrong. The whole idea of the API/SPI is that it provides a facility for clients which can get "web root" of a FileObject. The web root should represent a folder underneath the project's root which is "equal to the base URL" when the application is deployed. It's used for example to resolve the links in html/css files. I'll reassign the issue to you and kindly ask you to make such implementation (should be 10minutes for you and approx. 10lines of code). Then reassign the issue back to me and I'll fix the stylebuilder. Thanks!
Created attachment 95703 [details] Patch for ProjectWebRootQuery
I've just attached a patch to add the requirement for Marek. But I'm not aware of all the internals of Netbeans, you may review it as I don't know how to test it. So I may be completely wrong. Marek, the root for a rails project is quite simple for static content : is the public directory under the root directory. I don't think it's relevant to use any other directories (a controller may return a css or an image).
Thanks for the patch! It looks good, I've applied it in 9df7775b159d. Passing the issue back to Marek.
Thanks to both of you guys!
fixed in web-main#b242de5bf3ab the links are now resolved to the obtained web root. If none is returned (in some strange web like projects) , the project's root is used instead.
