Is there a way to route to a single static file? eg:

routes(
    "/docs/swagger-ui/swagger-ui.css" bind static(Classpath("/swagger-ui/swagger-ui.css")), // read from src/main/resources
    "/docs" bind static(Classpath("META-INF/resources/webjars/swagger-ui/3.25.2"))

basically I want to override the single swagger-ui.css file and leave the rest of swagger tools as default.

with the example above, the file is ignored and only content from the swagger-ui webjars is served.

your problem here is that it's looking for /swagger-ui/swagger-ui.css/docs/swagger-ui/swagger-ui.css .

[dave]

you probably just need to do Classpath()

[Vojtěch Knyttl]

I will try again, but I think I tried and it still served the contents of the jar

thannks!

[Vojtěch Knyttl]

ok - only thing I managed to get to work is this:

"/docs" bind static(Classpath("/docs")),

but once I add the file, it immediately gets to 404

[Vojtěch Knyttl]

but that is in contradiction with what you have written above

[Vojtěch Knyttl]

"/docs" bind static(Classpath()),

does not work

[dave]

yeah - it doesn't seem to work. something like this does:

fun main() {
    val app = routes(
        override("/org/index.html", "/"),
        static(Classpath("/bar"))
    )

    println("1" + app(Request(GET, "/org/index.html")).bodyString())
    println("2" + app(Request(GET, "/index.html")).bodyString())
}

private fun override(resource: String, root: String) = resource bind { r: Request ->
    Response(OK).body(Classpath(root).load(resource.drop(1))!!.openStream())
}

Thanks, this seems to have helped! This might be helpful if added in http4k examples.
