Open in new tab, TransitionAnchors, and erraiPushStateEnabled

[sskelton90]

Hello,

I've been working on an application that includes TransitionAnchors to different pages of which users sometimes like to open in a new tab. Users also requested that we enabled the "erraiPushStateEnabled" mode so URLs are displayed using slashes instead of hashes but I can't seem to get the two features to work together. Whenever a user clicks on an anchor element to open it in a new tab the URL that it navigates to isn't correct.

For example:

If I have two pages "Page1" and "Page2". "Page1" has a link to "Page2". The href value of the link is http://localhost:8888/testapp/Page1#testapp/Page2 but when the link is opened in a new tab the url switches from http://localhost:8888/testapp/Page1#testapp/Page2 to http://localhost:8888/testapp/Page1/testapp/Page2 and then to the PageNotFound page.

Is there something I can do or something I might've missed to make this work?

Thanks!

If your context is "/testapp" and your pages are "Page1" and "Page2" then your URLs should be "<host>/testapp/Page1" and "<host>/testapp/Page2". In order to make these URLs work via normal hyperlinks you will need to configure your web server to redirect requests from "/testapp/<PageName>" to your GWT host page.

Cheers.
