Description

Raw files need to have '.md' added as extension to be served.

They are served by repo.WikiRaw() which does this:

...
wikiPath := models.WikiNameToFilename(providedPath)
...

models.WikiNameToFilename is a short function:

// WikiNameToFilename converts a wiki name to its corresponding filename.
func WikiNameToFilename(name string) string {
	name = strings.Replace(name, " ", "-", -1)
	return url.QueryEscape(name) + ".md"
}

Shortly put ".md" is appended to the path, in order to get a raw file from the repo, say "file.txt" it has to be saved as "file.txt.md" and it will be available as "wiki/raw/file.txt".

Seems to work fine here:

"raw files" means non-md files, files that are not markdown and not supposed to be parsed like images, text, etc.

@thehowl Gitea pre-1.4.0 (1.3.2) used to be able to serve any file from a project's wiki, even in subdirectories.
I use wikis in conjunction with mkdocs, and linking to a md source file for editing, but also for storing other documentation file types.

Even though previous versions didn't show the website with the markdown editor, it did serve md files and any other kind of file type present in the wiki repository.
Optionally, it would also be nice if wiki/_pages would recursively search for markdown files, but I don't have a need for it.

I can link you an example if you need it.

@Nabile-Rahmani sorry about the delay. Hmm, if it did use to work, this seems like an issue then. @lafriks can you please add kind/bug?

[Pablo2048]

Does this bug have something in common with no images shown in wiki pages please? I'm unable to put any image into wiki pages - it always shows 404 error...

[thehowl]

@Pablo2048 What do you mean? Even external images?

[Pablo2048]

@thehowl Thanks for reply - No - it seems like external images works. Internal images (contained inside wiki) return 404.

[thehowl]

Then yes, it's the same issue. Thanks for pitching in!

Is this still a problem?

[Pablo2048]

Yes - in 1.7.1 the problem persist. It seems like it will be solved in 1.8 - see #4690

[Nabile-Rahmani]

Could someone reopen this issue ? I'm still getting 404 errors on 1.9.4.

@Nabile-Rahmani I'd suggest you open a new issue, as the cause for your problem is probably different than this'. Please try to give us some information about how it's failing exactly.
