Packaged project does not serve static index.html

[udalrich]

I have a project which is similar to the react sample. When I run in activator, it works. I have index.html in ui/app. When I ran activator universal:packageBin to create a distribution, the resulting distribution did not serve index.html.

When I added

unmanagedResourceDirectories in Assets <+= (gulpDirectory in Compile)(base => base / "app" )

to build.sbt, it would serve index.html, but as an attachment, so the browser asked me where I wanted to save the file, rather than displaying it.

This appears to be related to the switch from dev mode to prod mode.

When I moved index.html to app/views/index.scala.html, added

GET     /ui/index.html          controllers.HomeController.index()

to routes and implemented the method to return ok(views.html.index.render()), it I could load index.html when I accessed server:9000/, but it could not then load the javascript from the ui directory.

Are there simple directions for making the plugin work in production mode?

may you try to run activator clean compile dist" thenactivator universal:packageBin`?

And may you try to add .as("text/html; charset=UTF-8") after ok(views.html.index.render()) and try if its OK, and btw what your playframework version inside plugins.sbt file? because I think downloading index file instead of serving it a known bug for version 2.5.3

I was trying to use index.html as my source, not index.scala.html. When I changed my routes file to include

GET     /ui/index.html          controllers.HomeController.index()
GET     /index.html             controllers.HomeController.index()
GET     /                       controllers.HomeController.index()
#GET     /           com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.redirectRoot(base = "/ui/")

and updated the code instead, it worked. However, now I having problems serving the processed javascript.

The project-assets.jar file has

public/app/assets/javascripts/main.js
public/assets/images/favicon.png
public/assets/stylesheets/main.css

and is giving 404 errors trying to serve the files from /ui. Given that everything in the jar is under /public, that does not surprise me. Do I need a setting in build.sbt so that the assets are stored under ui instead of public?

I am using play 2.5.2.

projects/build.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.5.2")
addSbtPlugin("com.github.mmizutani" % "sbt-play-gulp" % "0.1.1")
addSbtPlugin("com.slidingautonomy.sbt" % "sbt-filter" % "1.0.1")

Sorry if its too late, I was in vacation when you replied and I saw this again when I was check my home page, for serving index (static page) may I know what inside the HomeController.index() ?

For me I just redirect the user to the index page without saying to serve index.html something like this, inside controller:

public CompletableFuture<Result> redirectToUI(String any) {
        return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(
                Results.redirect("/portal/admin/").as("text/html")
        );
    }

Routes:

# Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
GET           /assets/*file             controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
GET           /public/*file             controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
GET           /favicon.ico              controllers.Assets.at(path="/public/images", file="favicon.ico")

# Home page
GET           /portal                   com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.index
GET           /portal/admin/*any        controllers.Application.redirectToUI(any)
GET           /portal/admin             com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.index
->            /portal/admin/            gulp.Routes
->            /portal/                  gulp.Routes
GET           /                         com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.redirectRoot(base="/portal/")

HomeController.index is just

public Result index() {
      return ok(index.render());
}

That renders and returns index.scala.html. That works for me with this routes file:

# Files processed with gulp/babel
GET     /ui/index.html          controllers.HomeController.index
GET     /                       controllers.HomeController.redirectRoot(base = "/ui/")
#GET     /           com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.redirectRoot(base = "/ui/")

#GET     /ui         com.github.mmizutani.playgulp.GulpAssets.index
->      /ui/        gulp.Routes

So you want to serve index.scala.html ? and where is that file located? and if you want to use the index of scala, why you want this plugin? could you disable it and try again?

[udalrich]

I don't need to serve scala, but I was only able to serve a static page in dev mode. When I bundled it to deploy, it could not find the static page. As a work around, I started to serve scala.

I need to plugin to run gulp to run browserify when I serve jsx/js.
