Theme projects with "-web*" in the project name causes HTTP 404 errors

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 6.1.1 CE GA2, 6.1.20 EE GA2
• Fix Version/s: 6.1.1 CE GA2, 6.1.20 EE GA2
• Component/s: ~ [Archived] Frontend Infrastructure, ~ [Archived] Themes Infrastructure
• Labels: None
• Environment: Observed on MacOS X but probably platform independent

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using the Plugins SDK, create and deploy a new theme named foo-website like this:

cd plugins-sdk/themes
./create.sh foo-website "Foo Website"
cd foo
ant deploy

2. Using the "Manage Page" feature, set the current theme to be "Foo Website"

If the bug still exists, then Chrome will report 404 errors like the following:

GET http://localhost:8080/foo-website-theme/css/compass 404 (Not Found)

It turns out that "-web" is enough to cause the problem. So perhaps this is causing the portal to somehow get the theme confused with "Web Plugins" which have a "-web" extension. Just a guess though.

Obvious workaround: Don't put "-web" in your theme name
