A paginator’s base_url ends with double slash when paginate_path is empty.

Bug Report

I was playing around with getting a simple content listing going, for this I did not want pagination to create a sub-directory. So having a number of pages in /content/ I also created the following _index.md there:

+++
sort_by = "date"
paginate_by = 2 # For testing only
paginate_path = ""
+++

This results in paginator.base_url being http://127.0.0.1:1111// when running zola serve. I would expect just http://127.0.0.1:1111/.

Environment

Zola version: 0.9.0

Hmm empty path should be an error anyway.

I am pretty happy that it doesn’t throw an error 😉 Currently this lets me do website.local as my homepage and then website.local/2/ for the continuation of said homepage. So to me it seems like a feature more than a bug.

Zola has no problem generating the the files exactly where I would expect them, so other than the double slash at the end I do not see a problem with supporting this use-case.

That's fixed in next!

Not currently on a machine where I can build Zola from source, but judging from the commit you kept support for the empty path and are now explicitly testing for the behaviour I am using. Many thanks for that!

Yep, your usecase is a very valid one I didn't think ok.
