fix: File location returned by createFile omits the bucket when a custom endpoint is configured

[AdrianCurtin]

Issue

Closes: #592

The Location returned by createFile() was the endpoint with the key appended, which drops the bucket whenever a custom endpoint does not already contain it. The DigitalOcean Spaces configuration in the README is exactly that shape, as is any S3-compatible host used the same way, for example MinIO or LocalStack.

s3overrides.endpoint	Before
https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com	https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/photo.jpg
http://localhost:9000	http://localhost:9000/photo.jpg

Approach

Where the bucket belongs is not guessable from the endpoint string, and testing whether it already appears in the host or path is fragile. The adapter already has the answer: s3overrides.forcePathStyle decides it, and was simply not retained on the instance.

_buildLocationBase() now mirrors the SDK's own rule, the bucket as a leading path segment under path style, otherwise as a host prefix:

const endpoint = this._endpoint || `https://s3.${this._region}.amazonaws.com`;
const { protocol, host, pathname } = new URL(endpoint);
const basePath = pathname.replace(/\/+$/, '');
return this._forcePathStyle
  ? `${protocol}//${host}${basePath}/${this._bucket}`
  : `${protocol}//${this._bucket}.${host}${basePath}`;

Two cases beyond the reported one are fixed by the same rule:

• forcePathStyle without a custom endpoint. The SDK addresses https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/<bucket>/key, while the adapter always built the host-prefix form.
• A non-string endpoint. The SDK also accepts an endpoint object or provider function, which previously stringified into a broken url. It now falls back to the bucket's default host.

Verification

Rather than assume the shape, each configuration was checked against the SDK by signing a GetObjectCommand for the same options and comparing the resulting path. Nine of ten combinations match byte for byte, across both addressing styles, with and without a custom endpoint, and with a base path on the endpoint.

The tenth is a deliberate deviation. For a trailing-slash endpoint under virtual-host addressing the SDK emits a doubled slash, https://bucket.example.com/s3//dir/photo.jpg, while normalizing that same case correctly under path style. This normalizes both, and a test pins it.

Scope

Limited to the location reported by createFile. getFileLocation's direct access branch hardcodes https://<bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com/... and considers neither the custom endpoint nor the region, which is noted in #592 as a related gap. It is left alone here because baseUrl is the documented way to control that url, so changing it is a separate behavior change.

Tests

spec/test.spec.js gains a location for custom endpoints block: the default host, path style without an endpoint, a custom endpoint under each addressing style, an endpoint carrying a base path, a trailing-slash endpoint, and a non-url endpoint. Six of the seven fail against the previous implementation. The seventh is the plain default, which was already correct and guards against regressing it.

Full suite passes.

Related pull requests

These all touch createFile or getFileLocation in index.js. Merging them in this order leaves the fewest conflicts, verified by trial merges of all six together, which pass the suite once resolved:

#336 → #594 → #597 → #591 → #593 → #242

• fix: Prevent double-encoded presigned urls from s3 #336 presigned urls used a pre-encoded key
• fix: Bucket region is ignored, breaking access to buckets in opt-in regions #594 bucket region missing from the direct access url
• feat: Support asynchronous generateKey and validate the generated key #597 asynchronous generateKey
• fix: URL encoding of file location returned by createFile #591 percent-encoding of the Location url
• fix: File location returned by createFile omits the bucket when a custom endpoint is configured #593 Location omitted the bucket for custom endpoints
• feat: Revise createFile logic to return modified filenames and location #242 createFile reporting the stored name and url

#336 and #594 conflict with nothing. The rest collide on the createFile prologue and on the same anchor in spec/test.spec.js, where the conflict truncates each side's block, so the incoming describe has to be re-inserted whole rather than resolved line by line.

Conflict warning. The conflicting region includes const params = await this._buildCreateFileParams(...) from #597. Resolving in favor of the location work drops the await, which leaves a Promise where the params object is expected and fails every upload with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split'). Keep the await. Landing #597 first avoids the conflict entirely.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved generated file locations for S3-compatible storage configurations.
  • Correctly supports virtual-hosted and path-style URLs, custom endpoints, endpoint base paths, trailing slashes, and provider-based endpoints.
  • Adds regional fallback behavior for invalid endpoints.
  • Ensures file creation and direct-access links consistently use the configured endpoint and region.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for standard S3, path-style, custom, object-based, provider-based, and fallback endpoint configurations.

#593 and #594 now overlap. Both write the direct access host in getFileLocation, #594 as https://${bucket}.s3.${region}.amazonaws.com and #593 as _buildLocationBase(), and both update the three should go directly to amazon assertions. Keep _buildLocationBase(), which already includes the region and additionally handles custom endpoints. Same behavior for the default case, so the resolution is mechanical.

Tip

• Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
• Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
• Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
• We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
• Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
• Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The adapter now computes S3 locations from the configured endpoint, region, bucket, and forcePathStyle setting. createFile and direct-access locations use the same endpoint-aware base. Tests cover custom endpoints and fallback behavior.

Changes

S3 location resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Endpoint-aware location base index.js	The adapter stores forcePathStyle and adds _buildLocationBase for virtual-hosted, path-style, custom-endpoint, and regional fallback URLs. createFile and direct-access locations use this base.
Location behavior validation spec/test.spec.js	Tests update regional Amazon URL expectations and cover custom endpoint paths, trailing slashes, endpoint objects, endpoint providers, fallback behavior, path-style addressing, and consistency between createFile and getFileLocation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ff43

The change corrects Location URLs for string custom endpoints, but endpoint objects or provider functions can still produce an incorrect regional AWS Location even when uploads go to a custom service. This bounded correctness issue requires explicit owner follow-up before merge.

@coderabbitai review

The "Engage In Review Feedback" pre-merge check is reading an earlier state of this PR. It says the latest commits "retain a catch-and-fallback implementation and add no provider test", but the endpoint resolution landed in 1ff43cd, which is the current head.

_endpointToUrl resolves every documented endpoint form and _buildLocationBase awaits a provider before resolving, each with its own spec:

s3overrides.endpoint	location base
{ hostname, protocol, path: '/' }	https://bucket-1.example.com
{ hostname, protocol: 'http:', port: 9000, path: '/s3' } with forcePathStyle	http://example.com:9000/s3/bucket-1
{ url: new URL('https://example.com/s3') } (EndpointV2)	https://bucket-1.example.com/s3
async () => ({ hostname, protocol }) (provider)	https://bucket-1.example.com

The AWS-host fallback now applies only to an endpoint that names no host at all, such as {}, and that narrower case has its own spec. The review thread that raised this is resolved, and you confirmed there that both createFile() and getFileLocation() await the async resolver.

Re-verified on the current head: the suite and lint both pass.

[coderabbitai]

@AdrianCurtin, the reported pre-merge feedback does not match the supplied current-head context. I will review PR #593 again against commit 1ff43cd, including the endpoint-provider path, the no-host fallback, and consistency between createFile() and getFileLocation().

Learning: In `index.js`, `S3Adapter._endpointToUrl()` must support S3 SDK endpoint strings, endpoint objects with `hostname`, `protocol`, `port`, and `path`, and `EndpointV2.url`. `S3Adapter._buildLocationBase()` resolves endpoint providers asynchronously. It falls back to the AWS bucket host only when the endpoint has no usable host.
