Preconditions:

1. Change root context from '/' to another value. For example, changing it to 'myportal' in Tomcat would be:

   Change the ROOT folder name (under LIFERAY_HOME/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT) to 'myportal'.
   Change the ROOT.xml file name (under LIFERAY_HOME/TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/) to 'myportal.xml'.
   Clear temp and work directories under TOMCAT_HOME.

1. On master: Enable JQuery. Thus, in osgi/configs/ directory create the file:
   com.liferay.frontend.js.jquery.web.internal.configuration.JSJQueryConfiguration.config
   with following content:

   enableJQuery="true"

1. On 7.2: JQuery is enabled by default.

 

Steps to reproduce:

• Enter this URL in the browser http://localhost:8080/myportal/web/guest/home?p_p_id=com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&saveLastPath=false&_com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet_mvcRenderCommandName=%2Flogin%2Flogin&js_fast_load=1
• Check in the browser, under developer tools, the request URL generated.

 

Observed behavior:
Combo servlet URL has an error.
On master:

http://localhost:8080/myportal/myportal/combo?browserId=chrome&minifierType=js&languageId=en_US&b=7304&t=1596551662833&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/jquery.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/init.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/ajax.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/bootstrap.bundle.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/collapsible_search.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/fm.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/form.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/popper.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/side_navigation.js

On 7.2.x:

http://localhost:8080/myportal/myportal/combo?browserId=other&minifierType=js&languageId=es_ES&b=7210&t=1596526812119&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/jquery.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/bootstrap.bundle.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/collapsible_search.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/fm.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/form.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/popper.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/side_navigation.js

Please, note that context 'myportal' appears twice in the URL. So, a 404 response code is gotten.

Expected behavior:
Combo servlet URL is correct.
On master:

http://localhost:8080/myportal/combo?browserId=chrome&minifierType=js&languageId=en_US&b=7304&t=1596551662833&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/jquery.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/init.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/ajax.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/bootstrap.bundle.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/collapsible_search.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/fm.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/form.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/popper.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/side_navigation.js

On 7.2.x:

http://localhost:8080/myportal/combo?browserId=other&minifierType=js&languageId=es_ES&b=7210&t=1596526812119&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/jquery.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/bootstrap.bundle.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/collapsible_search.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/fm.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/form.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/popper.min.js&/myportal/o/frontend-js-jquery-web/jquery/side_navigation.js

Context 'myportal' appears only once in the URL.
