Hi @veloraven,

Thank you for labeling this issue as a bug. Do you know if/when it will be escalated to "acknowledged" by developers?

This bug, along with #5923 and #5942, is blocking a go-live. What's the usual workflow and timescale for the Magento team to address bugs?

Confirmed on 2.0.8->2.1 upgrade.
My product urls end in .html, too, but I'm too new to Magento to know if that's normal.
/myproduct,html works, but /myproduct does not.

@Cacasapo,

Rewrite bug

Thanks for narrowing it down to 2.0.8->2.1 upgrade. Were you able to find the commit that broke it?

URL suffix feature

You can change the default ".html" URL suffix in Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Search Engine Optimization. I usually set it to blank for nice clean URLs:

@JacobDrummond I've looked at url_rewrite commits, just out of curiosity, and saw that there was a lot of activity on it not too long ago, alas I'm not a coder and thus useless inside Magento's guts.

Thanks for the info on the URL thing. Didn't think to look under SEO for it!

This bug is also present on a 2.1 fresh install.

@JacobDrummond
Thank you for reporting this issue!
Can't reproduce this bug.
Please, check, did you have made changes in the section "Search Engine Optimization" below?
You can change URL rewrite in this section while you changed product or category name.

@andimov,

Yes, I updated "[product] > Search Engine Optimization > URL key" which saved the url_key attribute, but didn't update the url_rewrite table. This issue appears to be with Magento_CatalogUrlRewrite not Magento_Catalog.

Are you trying to reproduce on a 2.1 fresh install, or on a 2.0.7->2.1 upgrade? So far the only reports are from people who upgraded.

[Cacasapo]

@JacobDrummond I tested this and the other bug you found on a fresh 2.1 composer install. This bug is present on fresh and upgrade, while the other is only present on an upgrade.

My mistake, @Cacasapo. #5923 and #5929 are so similar I'm getting my wires crossed
