Netlify: public folder not serving

[fringe flint]

When I deploy my Starlight site to Netlify, the resource in the /src/public folder is not available: https://starlight-save-file-component.netlify.app/public/example.pdf

Nevermind, I linked to /public/example.pdf instead of just /example.pdf:

If your issue is resolved, please help by doing the following two steps:

1. From the ellipses (3-dot menu) in the top-right corner of the post (not the first message), edit the tags to include the Solved tag.
2. From the same ellipses, select Close Post.
   Your post will still be available to search and can be re-opened simply by replying in it. Closing a post moves it down with older posts, so we can more easily focus on issues that still need to be resolved.
   Thank you for your help!

@jade dove Do you think it would be a good idea to add a check to Starlight Links Validator which prevents the build if some /public link is used?

I guess it's difficult or maybe even impossible because users could create a public folder inside the /docs Starlight content?

I think the issue is here is that public/ should be in the root of the project, not inside src/?

From the Starlight docs:

Ah, I see, sounds like just the link was wrong but your public/ directory was in the root?

[jade dove]

It's already implemented but not checked in your specific case as it's in a custom component, which is a feature I've only started but not finished yet. And specific to your use-case again, when this feature is done, it'll by default error on the relative link rather than the invalid link.
