Not able to test redirects with gatsby develop

[mattfelten]

I'm trying to add some redirects to my site and I see redirects getting created when running gatsby build, although they're a different format than the docs say. They look like <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='/'" />

I'm not able to test that they're working correctly when running gatsby develop though. I get a 404. Is there a way to do this? Do I have the plugin misconfigured?

Hi @mattfelten,
Is is more likely that you have installed some other plugin as well for redirection and added that one as last in plugins list in gatsby.

Please remove other plugin if any for redirection and keep this one at last.

fwiw i'm seeing the same thing locally

Same here. I placed the plugin last in the import order, but it still only behaves as expected after building the whole app. gatsby develop does not produce redirects.

@dhakerShiv Other plugins / plugin placement isn't the reason. Your page gen code runs in the onPostBuild api. That api is only available for production build runs (hence the name), not in the development server.

@DirkLachowski so is there any way to test redirects using develop locally?
