Bug with stateSave?

sveatlo

Hi!
Currently I'm experiencing some problems with the stateSave feature. The problem is, it save two different versions for the same page into the localStorage, eg. "www.example.com/foo" but also for "www.example.com/foo/". The problem is, I cannot control which page the user will be redirected, therefore he might get a different saved data each time.
Is this a bug? How can I fix this?

Is it a bug? Good question - I'm not actually sure! DataTables uses the path name for the state saving which is why they are different. You can use stateSaveCallback and stateLoadCallback to provide your own state saving methods if you want to work around this issue just now.

Mean while I'll have a bit of a think about this and what I want the correct behaviour to be!

Thank you very much for your answer.
My personal look at this problem is, that both these URLs are pointing to the very same pages, so their content should be same as well.
Either way you decide, please let me know.

They are in this case, but it is also possible (depending on the server-side and routing etc) that they point to different pages (although I think generally that would be unusual).

Hi!
I need to tell my boss about our future steps. Could you please tell me, how have you decided?

To be honest I haven't had time to think about it much, but I'm inclined to remove trailing /s from the path. So yes, this is a bug that needs to be fixed.
