Vuepress: MD file names with round brackets returns 404, file names with exclamation mark fails to build

[x8x]

Not sure it's a bug or not supported, thought I would appreciate a way to work around this as file names with brackets or exclamation marks are supported by the filesystem.

• names with round brackets compile fine but returns 404 when called
• names with exclamation marks fail to compile, error returned for file named Additional-struct!-features.md:

(undefined) ../vuepress/lib/app/.temp/routes.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/data/Additional-struct' in '/vuepress/lib/app/.temp'
resolve '/data/Additional-struct' in '/vuepress/lib/app/.temp'
  using description file: /vuepress/package.json (relative path: ./lib/app/.temp)
    using description file: /data/package.json (relative path: ./Additional-struct)
      no extension
        /data/Additional-struct doesn't exist
      .js
        /data/Additional-struct.js doesn't exist
      .json
        /data/Additional-struct.json doesn't exist
      as directory
        /data/Additional-struct doesn't exist

Amazing work btw! 👍

Thanks for reporting that! since VuePress is based on vue-router and webpack, but:

• vue-router uses path-to-regexp as its path matching engine, round brackets is the internal matching tokens.

• webpack might has many issues about using exclamation at path: webpack/webpack/issues?=exclamation

Please avoid using !, and you can use - to replace ().

@ulivz Thanks for that link on webpack issues!
Other issue maybe related, if I have a markdown file with index in the name like `Gitter-Room-Index.md', I get an error at build time:

Renaming the file to Gitter-Room-Ind.md and no error.

@x8x I repro this. What about a new issue?

[x8x]

So the problem is only if the file name ends with index, if index is inbetween not problem.

• Gitter-Room-Index.md -> build fail
• Gitter-Room-Index_.md -> build ok

@meteorlxy As you confirm, will open a new issue, thank you for checking.
