Readthedocs.org: 404 in search after pages were moved

Created on 22 Oct 2019  路  9Comments  路  Source: readthedocs/readthedocs.org

Details

When searching for something, for example, databricks, there will be two entries in the output, but one of them leads to a 404 page.
The broken link is https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04_user_guide/11_working_with_databricks.html
The working one is https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04_user_guide/12_working_with_databricks.html - note 11 vs 12. We've renamed the MD file and rebuilt the docs, but the old file is still in the search index. I can probably manually redirect pages, but it seems to be a workaround rather than a real fix.

The issue looks very similar to https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/5668, but the issue persists for us.

Expected Result

All pages returned from the search are accessible.

Actual Result

https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/04_user_guide/11_working_with_databricks.html is showed in the results, but it's 404.

I've wiped and rebuilt, and can confirm our search index is clean now. Thank you again, @stsewd !!

@stsewd And still the issue is not fixed. We've tried wiping out the branch, rebuilding it etc - still we see a bunch of 404 errors around, nothing has changed. Can you reopen the issue please?

@Flid it's fixed, but the change isn't deployed yet

Oh riiiight. Thank you! Just found the changelog page, we'll keep an eye on it.

@stsewd : this seems to affect enough sites that it's worth deploying the fix. Any chance you'd be willing to push the new release including the fix so we can also benefit?

@jcampbell sorry you are having this problem, we are a small team so it makes it hard to deploy that often, but a deploy is planned for today, hope it goes smoothly

Thank you so much for the update--we really appreciate your great work!

@jcampbell @Flid the fix is deployed now, you need to trigger a new build to refresh the search index

I've wiped and rebuilt, and can confirm our search index is clean now. Thank you again, @stsewd !!
