Hi,

I’m trying out Ktor and want to configure some routes with Locations
I have a problem configuring a simple POST endpoint. I have the following code:

@Location("/v1/login")
class Login

post<Login> {
 ...
}

But I get 404s. If I change it to get<Login> {…} everything is ok.

Can’t seem to find any examples using post and Locations

Are you sure the client is posting?

[dimitar_]

Yeah, 100%. It works ok if I don’t use Locations.

Please check that you use post from the io.ktor.locations package.

I checked. I do. Otherwise post<T> would’ve thrown a compiler error

The following server replies with the expected response for `curl -v -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/login`:

import io.ktor.application.*
import io.ktor.locations.*
import io.ktor.response.*
import io.ktor.routing.routing
import io.ktor.server.engine.*
import io.ktor.server.netty.*

@OptIn(KtorExperimentalLocationsAPI::class)
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080) {
        install(Locations)
        routing {
            post<Login> {
                call.respondText { "post" }
            }
        }
    }.start()
}

@Location("/v1/login")
class Login

Thanks. I have no idea what I had wrong. But I just started from scratch and everything is ok now.

Fascinating

Ok, I think I figured it out, because it happened again. “Optimise imports” in IDEA cleared the correct .<http://locations.post|locations.post> import, for some reason
