codeslubber: yep, let me clone it

[codeslubber]

Look at TestServer, you can double click main and do run, then go to localhost:8080 and see the request hits,

[codeslubber]

but the file is not found 🙂

[orangy]

Gradle is downloading internet

[codeslubber]

great

*/
class TestServer {
companion object {
@JvmStatic fun main(args: Array<String>) {
embeddedServer(Jetty, 8080) {
routing {
get(“/”) {
default(“index.html”)
println(“cwd = ” + File(“.”).absolutePath)
files(“/site”)
}
}
}.start(wait = true)
}
}
}

I never pushed this version, difference is simply addition of the get(“/”)

[orangy]

But where is site?

[codeslubber]

I have tried it in a bunch of places

[codeslubber]

do you see it off the root?

[codeslubber]

it’s also in /src/main/resources

[codeslubber]

but the cwd when the server starts seems to be the project root?

[orangy]

works for me with the following change
default("site/index.html")

[codeslubber]

awesome! thanks @orangy

[codeslubber]

so I sohuld just remove the files(site) right?

[orangy]

Or you can use this:

static {
                        staticRootFolder = File("site")
                        default("index.html")
                        files(".")
                    }

It sets root folder for all static operations

[codeslubber]

I like that even better

[codeslubber]

might be a good idea to add an example?

[codeslubber]

(not whining at all…)

[orangy]

yep, need content here (https://github.com/Kotlin/ktor/wiki/Feature-Static-Content) but @hhariri is really busy these days

[codeslubber]

so I’ve noticed…

[codeslubber]

I guess I should have done that myself, tracing through it.. I was also thinking about how negative cases are always a drag, it would be so nice if you had something where it just dumped the state of it’s reasoning about content location when failures occurred, or better yet, just a pill you could invoke, e.g. localhost:8080/configState
