vdanchenkov / now-redirect Goto Github PK

Hello, there must something I do not understand because I can not get this to work.
I would like to redirect all traffic from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com.

So I go to my app folder and type
now-redirect www.mydomain.com

It deploys MY app on https://mydomain-gfhsgtwezq.now.sh
But it says:
Requests to https://mydomain-gfhsgtwezq.now.sh/* will be redirected to http://www.mydomain.com/*
and this is not the case! There is no redirect.

I think the problem is that Instead of deploying your small nodejs file that does the redirect, it is deploying my app (which is current folder). I am using [email protected] and it seems that it is ignoring the custom path :/

Am I doing something wrong ?

Only solution I have now is deploying my app and then aliasing it to both domain:
now alias https://mydomain-gfhsgtwezq.now.sh mydomain.com
now alias https://mydomain-gfhsgtwezq.now.sh www.mydomain.com
which is working.

This is a very useful tool, however it appears something between now-redirect, now, or node has changed and the tool installed fresh is no longer working as expected.

I was able to work around this quickly by cloning locally and just deploying from the app/ directory directly, but I'm sure plenty of people will run into this issue and not know how to proceed.

In particular, in bin/now-redirect, where the child process is supposed to operate against the source's simple app/ directory, currently, the child now process is executing against the current working directory. Now then tries to deploy the current working directory instead of the desired app/ redirection deployment.

Mac OS Sierra v10.12.2
now --version 8.2.2
node --version v8.40

A big thank you for making this. It saved my behind, and I owe you a big thanks. That's all.
