Unable to load external stylesheets

[tz1112]

Applying external css stylesheets does not work, neither the default rise.css nor a custom stylesheet (same name as the notebook file, placed in the same folder) are loaded correctly. While debugging this issue, I noticed that the file path construction might be incorrect (see the additional '/' right before the stylesheet filenames 'rise.css' and 'test.css'; screenshot is taken from developer console of the browser).

Relevant code snippet might be at rise.ts:925, where the paths for both elements are built using the same method.

I can confirm, that removing the extra slash fixes the problem. I checked that with curl, and the stylesheet is returned then. The info about MIME mismatch is caused by the fact that when an invalid path is accessed not 404 but 403 is returned with a HTML file stating that the path is forbidden (rather than non-existant).

I suppose the error comes from the fact that curdir has a trailing slash.

OK, I think I have nailed down that issue. So the problem appears only when the notebook is in the root folder where jupyter is run. In that case curdir is an empty string and we have // in the path.
If you put the notebook in a subdirectory, then curdir is not empty and the URL is constructed correctly.

This is such a nasty issue, since I struggle with it for so many times, but magically something was resolved. I thought it was the new version of RISE or sth that fixed the error, but the truth was that I was running Jupyter in a different directory...

curdir should be excluded from the URL if it is empty. This will fix the issue.

@apohllo Can you submit a pull request? 😉

Duplicate of #27. Appears that fix has not yet been released.
