Redirect Tester

Overview

Redirect Tester is a custom Studio pane that evaluates a path against current redirect rules and shows which rule would apply.

Why it matters

Redirect logic can include pattern rules and overlaps. Testing in Studio reduces guesswork and prevents accidental route regressions.

How Lucidity implements it

Lucidity adds a Test redirect view backed by RedirectTesterPane. It fetches redirect rules, normalises user input, calculates the primary match, and lists additional matching rules.

The pane shows:

• whether any redirect applies
• resulting target URL
• permanence status
• links back to matching redirect documents

Editorial workflow

1. Open redirect configuration.
2. Enter a candidate path.
3. Run the test.
4. Confirm the expected rule is primary and resolve conflicts before publish.

What it does not replace

This tool validates matching logic, not full browser behaviour. Keep route-level verification in staging for critical migrations.
