When writing functions that accept a path variable (unix or web), there is a common dumb mistake involving double slashes
e.g.
convertPathToFullUrl("/teams")
Make sure it's definition does not cause you to produce output like http://www.mysite//team. One example problem implementation is this (since it includes the path within)
export const convertPathToFullUrl = (path) => {
const { baseUrl } = config;
// BAD CODE
return `${baseUrl}/${path}`;
};
