"Run in Livebook" issues

[bdanklin]

Hello, I'm having a couple of issues with the "run in livebook" buttons and looking for some guidance of how I could contribute to a solution as im sure im not unique in this.

My setup is as follows:

WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
Livebook installed as an escript inside Ubuntu.

Private Hex Repo

Clicking the button inside a private hex org hosted docs.

Invalid content type, make sure the URL points to live markdown".

However the URL shown in the "notebook url" box does download the .livemd contents if I paste it into the address bar so I feel like there could be some work around here. This behaviour is the same in both Chrome running under windows and Firefox under Ubuntu (X window). Both are authenticated to Hex.

Local docs

Clicking the button inside locally built docs for the same package.

Failed to read /home/[username]/Projects/[project]/wsl.localhost/Ubuntu-20.04/home/[username]/Projects/[project]/doc/introduction_example.livemd, reason: no such file or directory

Changing the url to just file://doc/introduction_example.livemd opens the notebook correctly.

This behaviour is the same in both Chrome running under windows and Firefox under Ubuntu (X window)

Any guidance on a contribution I could make to help with this issue? Thanks.

Your browser will keep the authentication credentials. You would need to confirm it works from cURL but I don't think it will. :(

We could perhaps check using JavaScript if the scheme is file:/// and change the URL accordingly. This would be a PR to ExDoc though (which is welcome).
