Typescript: Default documentation page is broken

[Damag3d]

Link is broken - probably redirect issue at front door/cdn level:

home

Result:
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

same result,but in chinese

same

Temporary workaround:

1. Navigate to https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/index.html.
2. During a brief flash of content preceding the redirect to .../home.html, stop loading the page (by pressing Esc or clicking the ✖️ in your browser toolbar).

This will prevent the redirect, and let you access the documentation.

You can also, as a temporary workaround, access some page of the handbook directly, like https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html and then just avoid clicking on the link to the documentation index.

Seems to be working now. Looks like maybe they fixed it?

@orta any idea what happened?

[orta]

Ah yeah, I was tracking it on the website repo https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Website/issues/42 - I deployed from a new computer, so I fixed it by deploying from the old one. Not diagnosed what specifically made that page not show up, it worked when I did a local dev server.

I'll aim to move the entire deployment pipeline to run on CI so that it's can't happen again

[orta]

With https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Website/pull/56 and subsequent commits to get it actually working, the website is now being deployed entirely by GitHub Actions 👍

[orta]

Ironically enough, the GitHub Actions deploy has the same bug which started this entire thing too - the missing index

[orta]

Looks like that page didn't make it through the migration to the OSS repo, not sure how but it exists on the private repo from before - which makes this an easy fix.
