how do I define the routings on another module?

I try to add this to the application.conf

modules = [ com.example.ApplicationKt.module, com.example.user.UserModuleKt.module ]

and create this extension into the UserModule file:

package com.example.user

fun Application.module() {
    routing {
        route("/users") {
            get {
                call.respondText("Users", ContentType.Text.Plain)
            }
        }
    }
}

when I try to conect to the /users endpoint, I'm getting a 404 error 😕

This actually should work. Need to be investigated...

Do you want a project copy? It's my first time using Ktor, I was basically just reading the documentation and testing stuff, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong

Do any routes actually work? Or just routes from extra modules do not work?

[igorvd]

the routes on the Application.kt file works, with this content:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val server = embeddedServer(Netty, port = 9000) {

        routing {

            trace { application.log.trace(it.buildText()) }

            get("/") {
                
                call.respondText("Hello World!", ContentType.Text.Plain)

            }

        }
    }
    server.start(wait = true)
}

when I cut the route /users from the other file and paste here, works too

People usually extract modules to separate functions and simply invoke them from main module functions this is why this bug wasn't discovered yet.

Will fix that, thanks

Cool. Thanks for your feedback 🙂
