Other relevant information

I used the source panel and debug step by step.

It seems that when the router got the url config，it tries to

  // redirect /foo to /foo/
  router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
    if (!/(\/|\.html)$/.test(to.path)) {
      next(Object.assign({}, to, {
        path: to.path + '/'
      }))
    } else {
      next()
    }
  })

but the next function had been invoked again and again , and the route.path was still the '/config' rather than '/config/'.

And I uninstall the vuepress@0.14.1 and install the version 0.8.4, and the problem does not exist.

I compared them. The main difference came from the statement, in History.prototype.transitionTo.

var route = this.router.match(location, this.current);

when the version of vuepress is 0.14.1, the path prop in the return value of the match method, is /config, while it's /config/ in 0.8.4. But before the statement is executed, the value of the path prop in the first parameter location，is /config/.

And another diffrence is that the route object has name prop in the version 0.14.1, while it does not in version 0.8.4

I had not read the source code of vue-router and vuepress. But I guess there is something wrong with the name prop of the route object. And I noticed that a route config is created in the dir temp/routes when you run the dev command.

It's a known 'bug', or Vuepress is originally designed to have this behavior.

In fact I also think url without trailing slash looks better 👍
