renderTransforms filter not rendering inputPathToUrl transform plugin

[cypressSap]

Operating system

macOS Big Sur 11.5.2

Eleventy

3.0.0-alpha.12

Describe the bug

I'd been trying out the inputPathToUrl transform plugin on 3.0.0-alpha.10, but was ready to give up on it because it left a bunch of broken links in my RSS feed. Looking for a workaround led me to #3294, so I impatiently updated to the then-latest commit (16a0eeb) to see if renderTransforms would help - and it did, which was awesome!

Today I updated to 3.0.0-alpha.12 and my feed's links went back to pointing to .md and .njk files, as if the filter weren't there. It looks like commit fd6ff40 is what broke it, but I haven't been able to troubleshoot past that. Still not working as of 168f441.

Reproduction steps

See reproduction repo. Builds as expected using Eleventy commit 16a0eeb through 4640413. Beginning from commit fd6ff40 input path URLs are not transformed in feed.njk.

Expected behavior

Expected [home page](/index.md) from post.md to render as <a href="https://example.com/">home page</a> in _site/feed.xml. Renders instead as <a href="https://example.com/index.md">home page</a>

You’re one day ahead of me here. Stay tuned!

v2.0.0 of the RSS plugin has shipped which fixes this issue.

Docs for this are shipping to: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/rss/

You can either use the Virtual Template approach (which solves this for you) or the updated sample feed templates: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/rss/#sample-feed-templates

I’ve updated the template from your reproduction project below:

---json
{
  "permalink": "feed.xml",
  "eleventyExcludeFromCollections": true,
  "metadata": {
    "title": "My Blog about Boats",
    "subtitle": "I am writing about my experiences as a naval navel-gazer.",
    "language": "en",
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "author": {
      "name": "Boaty McBoatFace",
      "email": "[email protected]"
    }
  }
}
---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xml:base="{{ metadata.url }}">
	<title>{{ metadata.title }}</title>
	<subtitle>{{ metadata.subtitle }}</subtitle>
	<link href="{{ permalink | htmlBaseUrl(metadata.url) }}" rel="self" />
	<link href="{{ metadata.url | addPathPrefixToFullUrl }}" />
	<updated
		>{{ collections.posts | getNewestCollectionItemDate | dateToRfc3339
		}}</updated
	>
	<id>{{ metadata.url | addPathPrefixToFullUrl }}</id>
	<author>
		<name>{{ metadata.author.name }}</name>
		<email>{{ metadata.author.email }}</email>
	</author>
	{%- for post in collections.posts | reverse %} {%- set absolutePostUrl =
	post.url | htmlBaseUrl(metadata.url) %}
	<entry>
		<title>{{ post.data.title }}</title>
		<link href="{{ absolutePostUrl }}" />
		<updated>{{ post.date | dateToRfc3339 }}</updated>
		<id>{{ absolutePostUrl }}</id>
		<content xml:lang="{{ metadata.language }}" type="html"
			>{{ post.templateContent | renderTransforms(post.data.page, metadata.url) }}</content
		>
	</entry>
	{%- endfor %}
</feed>

This new method uses the renderTransforms to apply the base url via the HTML plugin. This increases performance as we don’t need to run posthtml twice for each templates. Related: 11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss#38
