Window.location.pathname not correct on playcanvas hosted builds

Help & Support

Hi

I’m using window.location.pathname to add query strings in runtime and manipulating the window.history to update the url.

in launch mode this works fine, however, if I build and host this app at playcanv.as, I get a mismatch between the location pathname reported in my code and the one I see if I run the command in the browser console.

https://playcanv.as/b/rI5E9xJb/

  1. Code reports window.location.pathname="/index/prm1w5fO/"
  2. Browser console reports window.location.pathname="/b/prm1w5fO/"

This messes up my url, and query string is never updated. What’s going on here?

The published build is iframed.

You can try making it non framed by adding an /e before the /b in the URL.

Eg
https://playcanv.as/e/b/prm1w5fO/

ah that’s why. I also tried exchanging /b/ for /index/ which worked.
