Material no longer rendering awesome-pages config correctly

[rieger-jared]

Description

Hi, I've been using awesome-pages for a while now, but only with material docs v4.
I tried upgrading to v7 but even the latest awesome-pages does not render out like the old way. Is there something wrong with my config or is this a clash with material docs.

What's interesting is that the ordering is actually still working

I've created a sibling card on awesome-pages lukasgeiter/mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin#41

.pages

nav:
  - index.md
  - ...
  - contributing.md

Old material docs

new

all links are tabs now

Expected behavior

I expect with the supplied .pages config, that my tab are rendered like the first image

Actual behavior

See image 3, the last image

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Set up directory with with the following structure

docs
├── contributing.md
├── developement\
├── getting-started.md
├── guides\
├── img\
├── index.md
├── office\
├── operations

2. place other md files in sub dirs
3. run mkdocs serve

Thanks for reporting. The tab grouping semantics changed in 6.2, as explained in #2125 (comment). With this in mind, it’s working as intended 😉

[rieger-jared]

Oh 😥

That kinda sucks. Would the the insiders indexing fix this? What would awesome pages have to implement to get the behaviour back?

[squidfunk]

Have you read the comment I linked? It explains how to achieve the same result >= 6.2.

The code example applies to the community edition as it does to Insiders. It was merged some time ago.

[squidfunk]

Closing, as it’s working as intended.

Yeah I did, however it appears this is an awesome-pages issue as the supplied nav fix doesn't work. This isn't then a mkdocs issue but rather an awesome-pages issue. I'll notify the developers of that plugin.

As it was mentioned in the Awesome pages issue, is a simple fix to just make a folder in the docs directory and add the pages there.
I myself use Both and never encountered this issue so far.
