Static files not being handled

[piknik]

Hello,

I am beginning to use radiance and have attempted to follow the basics in getting started up. In my own code, I am unable to have radiance serve the static CSS files which exist in the same base directory as the project. I have tried to find out where I am going wrong in my own code.

However, I have then followed the instructions on the README step-by-step, creating a module (placed in ~/quicklisp/local-projects) and then using the code with cl-who and the provided CSS. At this point it is expected that radiance would serve the file provided by (uri-to-url "/static/example/example.css" :representation :external) but the following error was given instead:

There was nothing that could handle the request #<REQUEST GET #@":8080/static/example/example.css">.

Am I supposed to be running a local proxy web server like nginx or something? I'm missing something here. Perhaps some code changes were made in order to specify a static resource handler?

From your description I'm not sure your file hierarchy is correct? The css file has to be in the static/ directory within your module directory. So it should be example/static/example.css on disk.

Correct, the example.css is in ~/quicklisp/local-projects/radiance-test/static/example.css.

Here is the ~/quicklisp/local-projects/radiance-test/radiance-test.lisp file I'm using with variations on the uri-to-url uri parameter:

(in-package #:rad-user)
(define-module #:radiance-test
  (:use #:cl #:radiance))
(in-package #:radiance-test)

(define-page example "/example" ()
  (cl-who:with-html-output-to-string (o)
    (cl-who:htm
     (:html
      (:head (:title "Example Page")
             (:link :rel "stylesheet" :type "text/css" 
                    :href (uri-to-url "/static/example.css" :representation :external)))
      (:body (:header (:h1 "Couldn't Be Simpler."))
             (:main (:p "Trust me on this one.")))))))

Also trying (uri-to-url "/static/example/example.css" :representation :external) with the same result.

If it helps, I am using the following mostly generated .asd file too:

(in-package #:cl-user)
(asdf:defsystem #:radiance-test
  :defsystem-depends-on (:radiance)
  :class "radiance:virtual-module"
  :components ((:file "radiance-test"))
  :depends-on (:cl-who))

Also if it helps here is the radiance environment ~/.config/radiance/default/radiance-core/radiance-core.conf.lisp. It has the welcome module removed from startup, and that's it (same issue with it on):

; meta (:version 1.0 :package "RADIANCE-CORE")

  (:ban . "r-simple-ban") (:cache . "r-simple-cache")

Well, I'm an idiot. Rather than use /static/example/example.css I used /static/radiance-test/example.css and it works.

Haha! Glad you managed to figure it out on your own. If you have problems in the future, don't hesitate to send another issue! :)
