Dispatcher Error when include custom rewrite file in vhost and rewrite.rules

[VishnuRa5]

Tried to include custom rewrite file in a wknd project dispatcher in two ways 

including a call to custom rules file in rewrite.rules file and another way is including it using vhost.

Both ways gave error in validation step in local.

Please advice 

Thankyou

Hi @VishnuRa5 

Included file (conf.d\rewrites\test.rules) does not match any known file. Skipping symlinks resolution checks for global folder due to windows platform.

This error occurs due to

The dispatcher validator cannot resolve Windows paths correctly.
-The file path may not exist or be incorrectly referenced.
-Symlink checks are skipped on Windows.
. Correct File Placement

Ensure the following structure:
conf.d/rewrites/rewrite.rules
conf.d/rewrites/test.rules

Recommended to modify configurations.

wknd.vhost (only include rewrite.rules):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 Include conf.d/rewrites/rewrite.rules
</IfModule>
rewrite.rules (include custom rules here):
# Default rewrite rules
# Include custom rules
Include conf.d/rewrites/test.rules

Adobe Dispatcher Tools are not Windows-friendly. Use one of these options:
Run inside WSL2 (Ubuntu on Windows)
Run validator in Cloud Manager pipeline.

Hope this helpful:)
