i wonder if routing is not installed or applied ?

[Ian]

isn’t that what the routing { ... } block is supposed to take care of?

[Nikky]

i have routes in a seperate file and set up the config to load it

@Suppress("unused")
fun Application.routes() {

    routing {
...
   }
}

and add it to the ktor.application.modules in the application.conf

[Ian]

Hmm, yeah - but I’m not sure that would change anything material - it just seems like a different way to organize the code.

What’s infuriating is that this works just fine in my actual code - it’s just this test code I’m trying to use, which is super-simple and copied verbatim from the documentation - doesn’t work.

[Nikky]

well there is something not registering the routes i think
does your actual code use the integrated netty ?

[Ian]

Yes, in both cases I’m using the integrated Netty, this is the code verbatim:

val s = embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080) {
        routing {
            get("/") {
                call.respondText("Hello World!", ContentType.Text.Plain)
            }
            get("/demo") {
                call.respondText("HELLO WORLD!")
            }
        }
    }
    s.start(wait = true)
