/cc @naltatis I have the same problem. Looks like another bug in parcel.js. Any idea how to fix this?

@rivengh thanks for spotting the source of this issue- has been driving me mad for some days now and I've always blamed Apple.

Could we just remove the manifest without losing anything?

I already looked into fixing this in parcel, but since this is not our only issue with relative paths it might be easier to switch from parcel to vue-cli (Webpack). I already have a version of this working in a local branch.

Encountered other side effects (necessary workarounds) with parcel also: e.g. adding a simple, relative "a href" seems to be impossible. Needed this ugly workaround, a link like "/broker/login" is impossible:

<div class="navbar-nav"> <router-link class="nav-item nav-link pb-1" to="/">Laden</router-link> <router-link class="nav-item nav-link pb-1" to="/config">Konfiguration</router-link> <script>document.write('<a class="nav-item nav-link pb-1" href="' + document.location.origin + '/broker">Sunny5-Broker</a>')</script> <script>document.write('<a class="nav-item nav-link pb-1" href="' + document.location.origin + '/broker/login">Login</a>')</script> </div>

So I would appreciate to drop the parcel usage also.

For me it looks like the relative path inside the webmanifest with only one folder up is the problem. In the release 31/32(?) the deployment of the assets were changed and now the manifest file locates in a different two level deep folder (source and published). Adding another ../ should solve this issue.

A current workaround is to have two container with evcc. One with version 0.30 for creating the homelink and one with the latest version for working with.

It's tool-generated. Problem is that the bundling tool does not work with relative paths.
