Navigation issues when directly accessing a section in the wiki

[javihernandez]

Hi, I'm having navigation issues when I directly go into a section of the wiki. So far, I'm seeing that it happens when accessing the mirrors section, but I didn't check whether it happens with other sections.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new tab and go into https://wiki.almalinux.org/Mirrors.html
2. Try to move to another section of the wiki using the navigation menu

Expected result:

The browser takes me to the section of the wiki I clicked on the menu

Actual result:

Although the address bar gets updated, I remain in the mirrors section

In Chrome's dev/inspect panel I can see the following error in the console:

app.2f3c144b.js:12 DOMException: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': This node type does not support this method.

I guess that there's something inside the mirror section that bothers Vuepress, see the following related issue

Hello Javier,
Thank you for sharing the issue and possible reasons. We are now working on it.

Thanks @sakelestemur!
BTW, yesterday night I build and ran the wiki locally, and to my surprise, I couldn't reproduce the problem 🤷
Good luck with the bug hunt ;)

You're welcome @javihernandez.
And I also could not reproduce it on my local machine. The navigation works on the mirror page without any problem.
So, it seems we should make the bug hunt deeper. :) Thanks again!

Hello again @javihernandez
It may be a web server misconfiguration. But also I checked the error on the browser development tools that you've mentioned. If everything is okay, it should be because of JS minifying. We should check CloudFlare settings.

@javihernandez I'm not seeing this today when testing either. Can you confirm if you're still seeing this problem?

[javihernandez]

Hey @bennyvasquez, yes, the issue is still present
