Use custom favicon when viewing static files if it exists #19130

abheekda1 · 2022-03-18T20:05:10Z

Redirect /favicon.ico to /assets/img/favicon.png.

Fix #19109

Gusted · 2022-03-19T11:40:09Z

routers/web/web.go

+	// the custom favicon should be seen when viewing files instead of the default one if it exists,
+	routes.Get("/favicon.ico", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
+		faviconPath := ""
+		res, err := http.Get(path.Join(setting.StaticURLPrefix, "/assets/img/favicon.ico"))


It's better to only check this once and not make a request every time when favicon.ico is requested. We can use os.Stat to check if such file exists.

There are a number of logo files that are known to exist, basically the output files here:

gitea/build/generate-images.js

Lines 74 to 78 in fb08d2b

generate(svg, resolve(__dirname, '../public/img/logo.svg'), {size: 32}),

generate(svg, resolve(__dirname, '../public/img/logo.png'), {size: 512}),

generate(svg, resolve(__dirname, '../public/img/favicon.png'), {size: 180}),

generate(svg, resolve(__dirname, '../public/img/avatar_default.png'), {size: 200}),

generate(svg, resolve(__dirname, '../public/img/apple-touch-icon.png'), {size: 180, bg: true}),

If browser accept redirecting ico to either svg or png, I think this is the solution we should go for as favicon.ico generally does not exist for our installations (but users could provide it for compatibilty)

I think it may work to redirect to PNG, I'll give that a shot.

Yeah, it's likely if PNG works, it will work with SVG as well, see https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg for browser support.

Another option might be to just generate a ico in above script, but that might be more complicated, and I think it should only be a last-resort option if those redirects don't work.

abheekda1 · 2022-03-19T13:28:44Z

Alright, cool! I'll give it a shot.

zeripath · 2022-03-19T19:51:19Z

make lgtm work

zeripath · 2022-03-20T17:29:30Z

I guess we should backport this.

zeripath · 2022-03-20T17:32:00Z

@ADawesomeguy are you able to send a backport PR?

This is my backport script: (if it helps)

#!/bin/sh
PR="$1"
SHA="$2"
VERSION="$3"

if [ -z "$SHA" ]; then
    SHA=$(gh api /repos/go-gitea/gitea/pulls/$PR -q '.merge_commit_sha')
fi

if [ -z "$VERSION" ]; then
    VERSION="v1.16"
fi

echo git checkout origin/release/"$VERSION" -b backport-$PR-$VERSION
git checkout origin/release/"$VERSION" -b backport-$PR-$VERSION
git cherry-pick $SHA && git commit --amend && git push ADawesomeguy backport-$PR-$VERSION && xdg-open https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/compare/release/"$VERSION"...ADawesomeguy:backport-$PR-$VERSION

abheekda1 · 2022-03-20T17:33:05Z

Do you want me to run that, because yeah sure I can do that. What exactly is a backport?

zeripath · 2022-03-20T17:37:01Z

By backport I mean cherry-pick f96e8be on to release/v1.16,

That cherrypick branch would then be used to open a PR against release/v1.16 titled: Use custom favicon when viewing static files if it exists (#19130) (← it must be this title) the PR initial comment should be:

Backport #19130

Redirect `/favicon.ico` to `/assets/img/favicon.png`.

Fix #19109

…9130) Redirect `/favicon.ico` to `/assets/img/favicon.png`. Fix go-gitea#19109

abheekda1 · 2022-03-20T17:58:48Z

@zeripath like this? https://github.com/ADawesomeguy/gitea/commits/backport-19130-v1.16

zeripath · 2022-03-20T18:24:47Z

yeah basically.

zeripath · 2022-03-20T18:25:22Z

Now create a PR using: release/v1.16...ADawesomeguy:backport-19130-v1.16

abheekda1 · 2022-03-20T19:10:21Z

Alright, done!

Seems to work fine in Firefox. At some point in the future, we should redirect to the SVG.
