Fix root page never matching as the active menu item - #54
Conversation
Menu::generateReferences() builds the current URL via Url::to(), which keeps a trailing slash for the site root (https://example.com/), while Page::resolveMenuItem() builds the compared-against URL via Cms::url(), which strips it (https://example.com). urlsAreEqual()'s strict string comparison of the two therefore only ever fails for the root page's own static-menu item — every other page has a real path segment where both helpers already produce matching output, so this was invisible anywhere but the home page. Normalizing a single trailing slash off both sides before comparing fixes it without touching either URL-generation helper.
Walkthrough
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change fixes root-page menu activation but currently removes every trailing slash when comparing URLs, which could incorrectly select the same menu item for some non-root URLs with repeated trailing slashes. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and a small follow-up to remove only one trailing slash. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Remove at most one trailing slash.
rtrim(rawurldecode($value), '/') removes all trailing slashes. This makes https://example.com/docs// equal to https://example.com/docs, changing non-root behavior. Remove only one trailing slash instead.

Summary
The site root's own static-menu item (e.g. "Home") never gets marked as
the active menu item, on any theme — every other page works correctly.
Root cause
Menu::generateReferences()builds the current-page URL viaUrl::to(),which keeps a trailing slash for the site root (
https://example.com/).Page::resolveMenuItem()builds the URL it's compared against viaCms::url(), which strips that trailing slash (https://example.com).urlsAreEqual()does a strict string comparison of the two, so it onlyever fails for the root page's own menu item — every other page has a
real path segment where both helpers already produce matching output,
which is why this has been invisible everywhere except the home page.
Fix
Normalize a single trailing slash off both sides in
urlsAreEqual()before comparing, rather than changing either URL-generation helper
(both are used elsewhere and this seemed like the smaller, more targeted
fix).
Test plan
before the fix,
Menu::generateReferences()returnedisActive = falsefor the root page's own item while on/; after the fix,isActive = trueas expected.before this change; the normalization is a no-op for them).
