Hello <https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_sharing_convention_plugins_with_build_logic.html|this page> has a link at the top
But that link leads to nowhere <https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/gradle_ides.html#gradle_ides>

Thanks for reporting! Looks like it is a recent regression after the cleanup of the sample

The links were changed by <@U03K4EQUDQF> in June: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/commit/a0456658535a27e9e921b6b579370d3343c901df> . It should have led to <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/a0456658535a27e9e921b6b579370d3343c901df/platforms/documentation/docs/src/docs/userguide/running-builds/additional/gradle_ides.adoc|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/a0456658535a27e9e921b6b579370d3343c901df/pla[…]s/src/docs/userguide/running-builds/additional/gradle_ides.adoc> from the same commit message.

This link is still present in the `master` branch, so not sure where the linking regressed. CC <@U05211W7T1U>

<@U03K4EQUDQF> I assume that in your patch it should have been an root-relative to <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_ides.html> , but without a slash it went elsewhere. Have these links ever worked? If yes, something went south with the tooling

I believe they did work at the time of landing the change.

What happens now:
• The link is resolved against a separate `samples` “root”
What should happen:
• The link should resolve against the `userguide` “root”
So, I am not sure if it’s a “slash” problem

Yeah, so something else changed then in our tooling

Created an issue just in case: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/31258>

P.S. I am even more confused. I thought the link would lead to the “sample project”. This page is not very clear at all. Do you know where the actual sample code is that I can look at?

oh I see now. There are buttons at the very top that actually download a whole project…. I missed that.

Thank you for the feedback. Maybe we should add a call-to-action phrase at the top that hints on the buttons.
I agree that if you scroll past them the first time, they sort of blend in
